Poesia tem dificuldades entre das linguas. You should study or refer to shakespeare or milton. Also you want to relate your emotions/ perceptions. An electronic dictionary will not help. Not with this.\n\nOh, by the way, damn good poetry. maravilhosa.

I studied English and Linguistics about 8 years ago now and a friend of mine went on to do her postgrad course pretty easily. The main competition is over the quality of the institution you want to go to, but with the advent of fees in the UK system now there is a better opportunity to get the course you want as only the serious people are really applying. Universtiy of Westminster and UCL have very good linguistics departments. For a full list of course availability you should check out the Univeristy and College Admissions Service (UCAS) here:\nhttp://www.ucas.ac.uk/

Try Google scholar and Yahoo. Google scholar should be useful as my ex-Prof used this website a lot when discussing questions with us.

These references would be a good start.  Really, any old organic textbook would be the best.

Latin would be good.  But I found books that novels that use SAT words in them and have exercises really help you learn lots of words in a short amount of time.  I read Simon's Saga for the SAT 1 Verbal.  fun story, good excercises, tons of words.  there are other books like this too.

There are many jobs you can get if you study linguistics, the scientific study of language.\n\nFirst of all, there are jobs in linguistics itself.  This includes linguistics research and teaching linguistics, that is, becoming a professor of linguistics.  Linguists also work in other university departments like anthropology, psychology, writing, and so forth.  Other linguistic researchers have laboratories or do their work in the field.\n\nLinguists who are interested in second language acquisition often get involved in language teaching.  This includes teaching language in many different countries, being administrators of language-teaching programs, and being language teacher educators (in other words, teaching people how to teach language).  Linguists can also be teachers in public schools, reading experts, or educational administrators.\n\nLinguists also often get involved with computational linguistics, which in general means teaching computers how to make language, or recognize language.  This could be anything from creating a word-processor grammar checker to making a bank telephone system that understands spoken commands.\n\nLinguists are also well-equipped to go into fields that involve careful analysis of rhetoric and writing.  This could be technical writing, reporting, philosophy, and on and on.\n\nFinally, linguists can go into other fields that are related to language and/or the mind, such as psychology, law, medicine, speech pathology, and many others.\n\nAlthough the military and other government organizations often call their translators and interrogators linguists, these people aren't actually engaged in the scientific study of language, just learning how to use it.

You should specify in what aspect of applied linguistics you are interested, and teaching EFL at what age and what aspects? There is a lot of information, hope this links will help you. You should go through the linguistic journals, that's the best sauce for research. http://www.eflpress.com/how_to_be_an_effective_efl.html     This is an Asian journal, but there are some research articles on EFL: \nhttp://www.asian-efl-journal.com/; http://applij.oxfordjournals.org/;\nhttp://www.blackwellpublishing.com/journal.asp?ref=0802-6106

You should purchase books on Branding/Marketing and communication.  Try the 22 Immutable laws by Al Ries.  Great book. PR/Ad and Marketing all tie in together.  But this is a great book to get started with.
