"Famosos" (ou quase) falando inglês

Hey guys!

As this forum contains many (inspirational) videos on Brazilians speaking English, I decided to open this thread so that I could share with you some of the videos I know of. It is amazing to see so many Brazilians doing so well overseas. And just as amazing to notice how simple is speaking English when we are in an informal conversation rather than other formal situations.

Using some refined vocabulary and structures will definitely make us stand out from other speakers of the language...And that`s why I reckon my favourite "famous Brazilian speakers of English" are film director Walter Salles and the Minister Celso Amorim.

Pick and choose your favourite famous Brazilian English speaker!

1 A video on the model Alessandra when she was still learning English. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB20D3s ... ature=fvsr[/youtube]

Model Alessandra Ambrosio talks after some years living and working in the US (Her improvement is remarkable, don`t you think?)

Impressive how she clang to the American pronunciation of words that most of her mistakes are hardly noticed

3 Actress Alice Braga (Part of the cast of film "The rite" along with actor Anthony Hopkins! I believe this film is due to hit the cinemas soon). Note that whilst her English is fluent, she slips up sometimes (absolutely normal

5 More on Alice`s character
6 Model Caroline Trentini
7 Actor Rodrigo Santoro on his character in film "Red Belt". Interesting how he makes some comments on Brazilians speaking English

10 Celso Amorim (International Relations Minister). I reckon his word choices make him stand out from all the other speakers.
Guess Brazilian models are well regarded overseas! Check it out:

11 Model Isabeli Fontana. So cute to see her fumbling for words - that`s how we all learn!
12 Model Evandro Soldati
13 Models talk
14 Felipe Massa
With so many videos on international models, I couldn`t fail to post a video on Gisele Bundchen!
