Hello, my name is Ana and I'm a Portuguese nurse.
I've loved reading all my life, even though I never read loudly.
I really liked the idea of help and participate in something other people might enjoy.
Another thing that made me want to volunteer is that sometimes people say I have a tendency to eat (occasionally) a couple of syllables. I like to improve myself and so I thought that reading slowly and carefully would be a good way for doing so (don't worry, is not that bad, and I just have to make a tiny effort so that that doesn't show).
Olá, from Portugal

Thank you, anna and earthcalling!
By the way, I'm warming up to read something in english. Just wait. And try not to laugh too much.

Ana, I think you'll be brilliant!
But even if you aren't Brilliant and are just Very Good ... making people laugh is a wonderful thing (if you don't mind in yourself too much) ... and it will encourage other people too -- they'll think "well, she doesn't sound SO bad ... maybe I CAN do it too."
Good luck!

There's honestly no such thing as a stupid question -- but I'm afraid I can't rule out giving a stupid answer : : To Posterity and Beyond!
