Curiosidades da Língua Portuguesa e Inglesa
sábado, 15 de maio de 2010
Quem, onde e por que
Oi, eu sou a Bruna e criei esse blog com o objetivo de publicar curiosidades linguísticas das línguas portuguesa e inglesa. Sua origem se deve ao cumprimento de um trabalho exigido pelo professor Thiago Carbonel, docente do Centro Universitário Central Paulista (UNICEP - São Carlos), na disciplina "Novas Tecnologias da Educação" ministrada ao primeiro período do curso de LETRAS no primeiro semestre de 2010.
