Caros leitores! Primeiramente eu gostaria de agradecer as dezenas de perguntas enviadas para o prof. Steve Ford.
Neste primeiro podcast metade das perguntas foram respondidas:
- Fabio: Dicas para melhorar a pronúncia
- Leandro: Did you make an interview with O Globo and it was in Portuguese or English?
- Rafael Isquierdo: I would like to know in which cases I use these relatives pronouns: “who”,”which”, “that” and “whose”. Is there a specific rule to use them?
- Sonia: Sou iniciante em Inglês, quanto tempo acha que levarei pra falar ou pelo menos saber me expressar em Inglês?
- Suelen: I would like to know why in English in a sentence like “Eu gosto daqui” we have to say “I like IT here” and not “I like here”. Why do we use “it”?
- Hilton: Professor Steve eu gostaria de receber algumas dicas para escrever melhor em inglês?
- The freedomly: Em quais países os false friends citados em uma de suas aulas aqui no EE são mais usados.
- Josué Marques: Gostaria muito de ter acesso à pronúncia do TH, uma vez que não existe em português. (Vídeo do Christopher sobre o Th)
- Diogo Carvalho: I would like to ask about the meaning of the expressions: “to grab a spoon” and “to beat around the bush”.
- Márcia Raphael: Como fazer para interpretar um texto longo, já que teremos que escrever só o resumo dele.
- Sheila Novaes: What is the difference between “word” and “world”?
- Thaiane Costa: Google translate message
- Jumiut: Eu sempre ouvi falar que no Canadá é muito difícil conseguir o visto, e um dos requisitos é estar sabendo bem o inglês, é verdade?
- Caroline: Pronunciation of the contraction “won’t”.

Muito, muito bom.
Eu não conhecia a expressão “to beat around the bush”, e no geral todo o podcast vale a pena.
Parabéns Alessandro pelo trabalho de primeira e muito obrigado por nos fornecer mais essa fonte de informação.
Vlw ;)

Hi Steve!
Thanks for the valuable tip! I finally got round to pronouncing the contraction “won’t” correctly and I must confess: it was a weight off my shoulders!
All the best :)
Great!
Pela primeira vez eu acho que consegui entender mais de 90% de um áudio…lol… acho que é sinal que estou melhorando…
thank you so much Steve
Take care..
to Leandro B: you are very welcome!
Jumiut
Adriano Acioli: great! I am happy you’ve been following my videos from the beginning. Coincidentally I will be celebrating 3 years on Youtube October 21st!!
Caroline: great! now you can start using contractions and sound more fluent!!! Bravo!
Hello hello hello Steve!
As an old admirer of your work, I really loved the idea of having another source of your valuable lessons! The first podcast was great and very helpful, and I’m already looking forward to the next ones!
I wanna thank you specially for the tip about “world” pronunciation! I really have a problem with the “rl” sound, but now it became much more easier!
Cheers,
Cris
hello! hello! hello Cris!
It’s always great to hear from you.
I remember you all the way back to when I used to do Peppy Radio on Peppy Club.
I’m glad to have been of some help!
Take care,
Steve
I liked very much this podcast with Steve, I’m a bad student but always come here to learn something new.
I was surprised how I could understand almost all that he said.
I’m waiting for the next and the next…
(I haven’t used a translator, it’s my English that is terrible. But is practicing that you learn, right?)
Moro em Toronto e gostaria de saber alguns costumes canadenses como por exemplo: é comum ajudar a dona da casa a arrumar a cozinha apos um jantar entre amigos? Ou soa intromissão?
Desde já muito obrigada!
Denise
Hello Thiago!
I am happy you enjoyed the podcast!
I am also happy that you wrote that by yourself.
You will get better and better!
Great!
Steve,
Yeah, Peppy Radio was really awesome and funny, but I’ve known your videos for ages – since 2007, maybe? :D
And I just realized that on my previous comment I said “more easier”, which is an absurd haha! I just wanted to emphasize how much your tip helped and ended up making a silly mistake! Well, it happens! :D
Bye bye!
Cris
Wow! A poodcast by Steve Ford? Wonderful! Thanks a lot, Alessandro, for giving us the chance to listen to his amazing teachings here at EE.
Steve, I admire your work immensely. You do a great job for all of us, learners of English. Thanks a million! (I simply love your accent!)
Oh, my! I misspelled the word “podcast”. I’m so sorry!
Hi Steve!
I was wondering if you speak Portuguese, ’cause you spell the words in portuguese so clearly and it seems you don’t have any trouble saying Brazilian’s names.
Hello Steve,
I m very happy to watch this poadcast
It s just awesome,congratulations!You are the man!
and of course it will help a lot many students like me.
And I m very happy also for see my quentions answed and that it is helpping
other students
bye bye
Today Mr. Steve’s Youtube Channel is celebrating 3 years o/ congratulations!! ^-^
Thank you for bringing so many funny lessons to countless students worldwide all over these years!! :) :) :)
I just missed a *pop bottles* video.. :P)
to Cristiane McBrain: great to see you again Cris. I can remember you from all the way back to when I used to do Peppy Radio on Peppy Club!
João B. L. Ghizoni: Thanks a lot João! By the way, my accent is the standard American accent you here in American movies.
Rafael Isquierdo: Hi Rafael! Yes, I speak Portuguese fluently and my wife is Brazilian.
Diogo Carvalho: Hi Diogo! I am happy to have been of some help! Great questions from great students!
Regards and abração,
Steve
Adorei o PodCast. Obrigado, professor Steve!
You are a topman Steve. I hope someday i speak english like you :)
Thanks!
I’d just like to tell that Steve Ford hints are helping me very much. Thanks to they I’m really improving my listening and speaking skills. Steve, you rock!
Hey, Steve, thanks a lot for your reply! I must confess I’m a bit surprised to learn that you say you speak American English. (Well, I reckon I can’t tell the American English from the Canadian English accent.) By the way, can Americans and Canadians tell the two pronunciations apart?
You wrote “here” for “hear”, right? (I know I’m really picky! LOL)
I was in Alberta for a month — what a magnificent place! Besides Calgary and Edmonton, I also went further to the south and visited Lethbridge and Drumheller. What a nice time I had there!
All the very best to you, Steve. It’s always a pleasure to listen to (and read) you!
to:
Fernando: I am happy you loved it!
Julio: Hey Julio, you can do it!
Eliel: Hey Eliel, you rock too and I am happy to have been of some help!
João : Hey João, no worries. As you can see, even native speakers make spelling mistakes and typos. Heck, I even find them in published notable newspapers and books. :)
Regarding your question about accent. Let’s put it this way, if I phone someone in California, they have no idea I’m from Canada and vice versa.
One more great reply from you, Steve. Thanks a lot. Have a nice weekend!

Bom dia!!! Gosto muito quando as aulas são em video/audio, pois aprendo bastante ouvindo…pois minha dificuldade maior é falar…me expressar…
