Original Biography of Author Giljonnys Dias da Silva

Giljonnys Dias da Silva

I am an author. I was born on May 8, 1986 in a small town named Lago da Pedra, Maranhão - Brazil. As someone passionate about the activity of writing, I started my career as an author in 2010.

Son of Ana Dias da Silva (born on June 29, 1868) and Zaqueu Pinto da Silva Lopes (born on January 3, 1964), both of them native of Maranhão. American English and Brazilian Portuguese are my native languages.

I studied at public schools of Lago da Pedra. Known in my town for the name of Giljonnys, I went to Unidade Escolar Professor Ilzé Vieira de Melo in the years of 1996 up to 1999, where I attended elementary school (The 1st to 4th Grade), and also went to elementary school in the Colégio Municipal Antônio Carlos Martins Jorgem from 2000 to 2003 (The 5th to 8th Grade). However, I currently work for myself. I like to invest all my creative energies into the production of English materials in order to promote bilingualism and education. Therefore, I am very interested in translation studies, applied linguistics and educational psychology. I am currently writing two books called Notes On Translation (English version) and Notas Sobre Tradução (Portuguese version) with tips and examples in order to explain the translation process.

Subsequently, my works diversify into the production of several articles and piece of information in English. I did not receive any formal schooling in English, but did not lack education either. Therefore I taught myself to read from a very young age. I am known by the name Giljonnys. Since I’m not religious and do not belong to any religious denomination, I have my own dogmas and beliefs. Still, I believe in God.
