Projeto Conversação - Parte 3

Rafael,

Second of all, I noticed a little "thing" on your video. I don`t know if it`s right or wrong but, you said in the video: "Lucas here more one time", "recording more one video".
I`m used to hear one more time instead of "more one time". I don`t know if the way you said it is totally wrong but It sounds better when you say one more time. Like this song - http://goo.gl/wJVSL

Sim, recomendo usar "one more time", "one more video", "two more people", "three more days."

O oposto seria "one less": "one less lonely girl''(uma garota sozinha a menos) - Justin Bieber.

Hello guys,
I'm get started, great idea, thanks 4 all!
I love this portal, many good things and tips.
Soon I'll post my video or podcast

Regards

I've just recorded my video and now I noticed that there are a lot of another videos!

Haha,

I'm so glad with the idea, I recorded my video as soon I could!

How do you say the days of the week?
What is it called when you throw toilet paper on a house?
What is a bubbly carbonated drink called?
What do you call gym shoes?
What do you call your grandparents?

Choose a book and read a passage from it.

I belive as everyone here I'm really exited bout this
so I'll make my video as soon as possible too *---*

Hi there Flavia,

As to this "much more easier" Raphael mentions on his podcast, I did a quick hunt on the net and found out many accredited entries for "much + more + adjective" (for example "much more interesting"), which leads me to reason that at least colloquially that should be correct (yet in his case much more easy would sound better).

Hopefully some other members will help us clarify this matter. Let's wait

http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=1728826 (this thread touches on this particular question)

Cheers

Thanks Flavia

Shortly after I posted my reply I found out my example refers to the adjective "interesting", which is a "long" one

@ DHST

Your English is perfect!

Dlr,

Great tips!

As to the slow/ strong...Do you mean it is pronounced as though "estrong" and "eslow"? If so, it'd make sense since this "e" sound in words which doesn't have an "e" is something most Brazilians "struggle" with when pronouncing words beginning with "s". In such case, I usually try to practice by using the tongue twister "Sea shells sea shells by the sea shore" lol

Cheers

By the way,

Have you guys heard of the "Engrish Challenge" by someone called Izzy Nobre? It consists of a project with similar purpose to this thread, in that the main objective is that Brazilians showcase their English pronunciation, share it with others, get feedback and ultimately boost their English skills.

I suggest that you guys should check out this Brazilian girl and others who take part in this project:

(I have to confess I was jaw-dropped when I checked the girl on the video - her English is so good!)

(this video shows a Brazilian capable of impersonating a variety of accents)

Quero criar coragem e fazer um video também.
É legal ver a quantidade de pessoas que querem falar inglês

Hi there, I hope that you can enjoy my video, and please, tell me about my english and what should I improve.

Fiz vários e simplesmente nenhum ficou bom (não tem como ficar bom sendo que eu não treino meu inglês falado)! Hahaha, então vai este mesmo.
Ficou super curto porque sou tímida , e não sabia o que falar, então resumi tudo.

Adir Ferreira? What an honor, uh? Congrats, Rafael!

***

Interview:"What about if I tell you that in the next step you have an interview in English?"
Rafael (very confident): "Oh, it's ok!"

clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap!!!

***

I'm afraid I won't be able to record any video soon because I'm on vacation and very busy with packing, planning my itinerary, etc etc etc

Mr. dlr: We would love to see you speaking Portuguese as well.

Rafael, once again: Congrats for taking this initiative. And you can be sure we're all hoping you get this job.

p.s.: and congrats because your room is much tidier than Adir's

Rafael
Suggestion: Instead of "I have sure", say "I am sure"

Eu JURO que tentei gravar um vídeo, mas quem disse que a câmera funciona?
(yes, we have it! desculpa esfarrapada = desculpa-esfarrapada-t2396.html)

Very very nice Video Luiz ! Congratulations DUDE !

Jackson said you have a strong accent! I would say different, you have a tipical beginner accent. But, don`t worry about that.

Remember...How much more you practice, better you get. So, listen, talk, write and try to think in english! You you say something to your mom, for example, try to think how would be it in English. It helps a lot.

See you Luiz !

Rafael,

Se me permite:
"The more you practice, the better you get" - usar "how much" aqui é erro comum de nós brasileiros pensando em "qto mais..."
"try to think how it would be in English"

Hi Rafael

Much more easier (0:45)- 'more' tá sobrando aí

Da próxima vez fale mais alto, please.

Na verdade, eternal_learner, o more não pode ser usado nesse caso por se tratar do que chamamos de "adjetivo curto".
O Rafael já havia feito usado o comparativo "mais" qdo acrescentou o er no final de easy.
Leia mais a respeito em: https://www.englishexperts.com.br/grau-dos-adjetivos/

Jumiut,
Se eu pudesse "rasgar" a tela toda vez que alguém vem aqui com a moral baixa desse jeito, eu juro que rasgaria. “Péssimo” e “terrível” são os podcasts que não existem, daquelas pessoas que não se esforçam e têm medo de começar - ou você acha que todo mundo que fala inglês já nasceu fluente e com a pronúncia perfeita? Parabéns pelo desempenho, eu entendi tudo o que você disse e, caso queira, segue sugestão de um link onde você pode escrever seus textos e ouvir uma “máquina” pronunciando, daí você pode imitar até se sentir mais segura com sua pronúncia.
À propósito, a idéia de ler um texto preparado previamente é muito boa, pois você vai acostumando a fala até deixar as coisas fluírem mais naturalmente.

http://text-to-speech.imtranslator.net/

algumas pequenas observações:

“Since” sozinho já dá a idéia de “desde que/quando”. Logo, diga “Since Rafael had the idea...”

I do not feel ready to talk…

No final, "sorry for my mistakes". à propósito, leia: https://www.englishexperts.com.br/nao-d ... thank-you/

And we’re also glad that you are here.
