Brazilian Police Captain Etiene Martins has just returned to work after two weeks improving his English for free in London.
Captain Martins won a Let Your English Grow scholarship with English UK member Excel English. He hopes the opportunity will help him in his ambition to get a higher degree in international law, and work for his country.
“I could not have done this without Let Your English Grow,” he says. “It was really a victory for me. It will be so important for my career.” Etiene, 29, is probably one of the most unusual winners so far.
As a teenager, he was keen to do a law degree. But his father, a hot-dog seller, advised him to join the police and then work his way through university with a secure job.
Once he finished at the Police Academy, he won a place studying law at a university in Rio de Janeiro, where he works.
He also began studying English, because he was interested in the language. Once his bosses became aware that Etiene spoke English, he was transferred to the city’s tourist police division.
