Maria Fernanda Barros Borges
Happy, determinate and persistent our Brazilian student talks about her life and experience as an International student
From a small city in Brazil in the middle of the country, she has a clear goal to learn English as an essential skill, which will open doors to enjoy travelling and for her professional life. So, she decided to come to Australia.
However, with the idea of coming to Australia to learn the English language in 6 months, Maria Fernanda realized that to acquire proper English, and to become competitive in her work field, she needed more than six months of study. She has now been in Australia for one year, because she decided to extend her visa with General English and some vocational courses which make her resume more attractive.
Being here, she fell in love with an Australian man, who has been a great support for her English progress and her time here during the pandemic. Her goal at NCVE International is to reach a level of English which allows her to communicate and express her ideas easily and accurately.
“The best thing about NCVE International is that I’m learning in an environment that makes me feel like I am part of a family”
