Creando lección...
1
Welcome to Floripa!
2
If you want to speak English, reading books will not help you.
3
Learning grammar and solving some quizzes will not help you.
4
What will help you are only these two things.
5
Number one, listening.
6
When you listen to our conversation on this video with Brazilian businesswoman.
7
And number two, speaking.
8
So here's the challenge for you.
9
I want you to watch this video for the first time from one to 100% and to fully understand everything.
10
If you don't understand something, I want you to pause it, write down the word and translate it.
11
And when you're gonna watch for the second time, I want you to shadow me to pause this video
12
when I ask a question and I want you to repeat that question so you could practice your speaking.
13
And remember, nobody is perfect.
14
It's completely fine to make mistakes.
15
I make mistakes on my own and you should make mistakes.
16
So start speaking with me now.
17
Let's get started.
18
It's been 15 minutes since we were supposed to start recording.
19
You are not supposed to give people advice.
20
It's Brazil, but I know that that girl is busy
21
and she is right there talking to other girls and making her business happen.
22
So we're going to let her finish.
23
A few moments later.
24
Let's go.
25
Let's get started.
26
We are at Elika Hotel in downtown Florianópolis in front of the beach.
27
Go, go, you're first.
28
Go, go, go.
29
Lorenzo, let's show him what is beautiful here.
30
You can go because I can wait here with him.
31
Or maybe you can help me.
32
Absolutely.
33
Young man, are you ready?
34
Absolutely.
35
You get a big house right here.
36
Oh, wow.
37
That's great.
38
This is the kind of rooftop that I was talking about.
39
All units target heading north on rooftop.
40
Yeah.
41
It's a different design, front of the beach, everything clean and minimalis...
42
How can I say this in English?
43
Minimalistic.
44
Minimalistic.
45
Yeah, minimalism is the same word.
46
Yes.
47
It's very minimalistic.
48
I love it.
49
Yeah.
50
Look at this view, guys.
51
Yeah.
52
It's stunning.
53
Floripa is the best place ever.
54
I agree.
55
I think it is the best city that I've been to in Brazil so far.
56
I've visited Rio, small city Macaí, São Paulo, Curitiba, Porto Alegre, São Sebastião Ducaí.
57
Wow!
58
But Florianópolis is definitely gorgeous.
59
Really?
60
It is the best city that I've been to so far.
61
Rio is beautiful, but I mean, Rio has a little bit different vibe.
62
Yeah.
63
But Florianópolis is a higher quality, even though it's cheaper, which is quite crazy.
64
I just saw your mom downstairs and even though she's pretty old, she's really hot.
65
Because Rio de Janeiro has more favelas.
66
Yes.
67
Has more people living on streets.
68
And here, I've only seen one or two homeless folks so far, to be honest.
69
Yeah, of course we have.
70
We need to understand that it's not anymore a small city.
71
We are growing.
72
We have a lot of companies, pet companies, different people coming to Floripa.
73
So we are not a small city anymore, but we are very safe.
74
We have a lot of care of the people about the security here.
75
And for me, comparing Floripa to Rio, I mean, we can compare.
76
Exactly, it's quite different.
77
It's so different, you know?
78
Let's take a picture.
79
Yes, here too.
80
Opa!
81
And again, crazy ones, right?
82
Good, let him know.
83
He's a friend of mom.
84
He's crazy.
85
He's the crazy one.
86
I'm the crazy one?
87
Yes, you are.
88
Should we show any of your pictures when we were 18 and 20?
89
I'll show you guys a picture of Natalia and me 14 years ago.
90
So you would, and you tell me in the comments below, who's the crazy one here?
91
It's so interesting that it's different languages will not have some words or will have extra words.
92
and in brazil they don't have it it's either he or she
93
so hotel is he uh ocean in ukraine it's he is
94
it it's he it's not it ocean is here just like in brazil it's very similar
95
but in the united states it's quite different ocean is it
96
it's not a live person they can be sure here that's interesting
97
but now tell us what do you do because you you're a sharp looking
98
beautiful lady with a kid in florida what did you professionally the best point in florida to live here is
99
because you can walk work and go to the beach
100
and you know stay safe walking with your baby yeah doing a meeting
101
and then you know stay uh hang out with your friends you can walk early go to the gym, drink some coffee outside the house,
102
like hang out with your friends and then start your day doing some meetings and I like this routine, you know, to enjoy life.
103
Are you afraid James might grow tired of your wannabe black girl routine and fall for something real like me?
104
At the same time doing a lot of meetings, working in a project, so I work with experience, I work with customer experience,
105
so I'm always looking for to understand what these customers need,
106
what they feel, what they think about brands, what brands means for the customers.
107
It's not only about the product, it's about people, it's about feeling,
108
it's about how How can I feel when I was at the hotel, for example?
109
What did you feel when you got there?
110
You know?
111
Wow.
112
Wow.
113
I was impressed.
114
It's not only a brand, you know?
115
Well, I am impressed with your quest for knowledge.
116
Also, it's a smell that you see.
117
The smell, the flowers, the way that the people treat you, the attendants, you know?
118
It says here the attendant told the police you were pretty upset before you got in the car.
119
The hotel is one of my clients and we were working to understand the customer journey in a check-in,
120
in a check-out.
121
Having found somewhere to park, Hammond checked into the hotel.
122
Check in please.
123
Thank you.
124
Can I borrow your pen?
125
Thank you.
126
In the restaurant, inside of the room, to understand how can we create some good experiences to impress them,
127
to feel good, you know?
128
And for me, it's a pleasure to stay working with them.
129
Now ladies, what pleasure party would be complete without?
130
But at the same time, creating a friendship.
131
Because right now, for example, I got Lorenzo to show them my baby that I was working with them pregnant.
132
And then they said, Natalia, come visit us, bring Lorenzo.
133
We want to see him.
134
They sent me a present.
135
They sent me a letter, you know, this kind of relationship with your client.
136
What does it mean when a guy is in a really bad relationship and it's really, really obvious that he wants to be with you?
137
It's something that only happens if you are open to real connect with the person at the other side.
138
Nice.
139
Sounds like you're very passionate.
140
One minute.
141
You got it.
142
Just a pause to see if Florencio is okay.
143
Yeah.
144
Sounds like you're very passionate about what you're doing.
145
Yes.
146
You love it, huh?
147
Look, I'm weird, okay?
148
No, no, I'm passionate.
149
Passionate and...
150
That's a dream.
151
To live in Floripa.
152
To live next to the beach.
153
To do what you love doing.
154
Why did you choose Floripa?
155
Were you born here?
156
Yeah, I was born here.
157
I was born here and I lived in São Paulo for five years
158
and it was a good experience because São Paulo it's a big city you can
159
you can have everything you want in São Paulo you can
160
the the city never stop looks like New York yeah but isn't safe you can be safe in São Paulo.
161
Full moon tonight isn't safe to travel by the full moon You know,
162
I can't imagine creating a family and a baby in São Paulo.
163
You know, so for me, Floripa is the best choice ever.
164
And we are growing there.
165
Like I said, we are growing.
166
We have a lot of tech companies here.
167
Uh-huh.
168
Yep.
169
A lot of tech companies.
170
A couple of days ago, I have hosted a tech meetup here with a friend of mine, Lucas
171
and we did see an insane amount of people who were interested in tech.
172
Odyssey speaking, Floripa is just like Miami in the United States.
173
Florianapolis or Floripa is almost a copy, it's an improved, it's a version number two of Miami.
174
People and society can be improved.
175
In Miami, you will see a lot of homeless people.
176
you will see things are old and getting rusty but you
177
when you walk through
178
that beach right there you will see a lot of new
179
pull-up bars a lot of new workout areas where people are enjoying their time
180
and it's not old people take care of it what if not is i think the biggest difference between
181
miami and florianapolis is people i'm not sure if it's a government or people but they take care of this city.
182
You're just a pawn in the game.
183
It's the government, man.
184
The government sucks.
185
And Miami is, I would say, 40% older.
186
Really?
187
It looks older than Floripa.
188
I'm in love with Floripa so far.
189
So far, sir.
190
I heard it so far.
191
Did you hear it so far?
192
I heard it so far.
193
I mean, the majority of our viewers are from Brazil.
194
Can you tell me, can you tell me, are there any better cities in brazil than floripa so far because i am in love with this city.
195
I'm a manezinha.
196
When you born here, they said that you are manezinha da ilha.
197
What does that mean?
198
Manezinha da ilha.
199
It's because you was born here and you like to eat with your hands, you like a simple life, you know?
200
Yeah.
201
It's something simple, it's something cute, it's something from the heart.
202
So everybody is born here, they said, Oh, are you Amanezinho?
203
Are you Amanezinha da Ilha?
204
Yes, I am.
205
With, like, I mean, proud of this, you know?
206
I am his wife, proudly, and I will proudly bear his name.
207
How did you learn English?
208
Let me ask you this.
209
For me, all my childhood, I learned in plus, classes plus, you know? but English.
210
Additional classes.
211
Yeah, additional classes.
212

213
Guys, if you are watching this, sorry about my English because I'm not practicing.
214
Are you practicing law yet?
215
I'm not practicing law, I'm just going to a meeting.
216
You know, and practice is the best way to learn in another language.
217
Even if you are learning a lot,
218
learning since always, you need to practice with someone and your English or your another language that you are trying to learn,
219
it will be better because you have the opportunity to talk with someone, to listen to someone.
220
I saw an opportunity and I took it.
221
An opportunity for what?
222
For me, it's so good to listen to you because the way that you speak, the accent that you speak teaches me a lot.
223

224
Thank you.
225

231
if you if the whole world could see you right now Oh my god!
232
What would you share with them?
233
What would you want them to know?
234
What would you advise them based on your crazy story?
235
Or a crazy story of your life?
236
We will advise you what to write.
237
Be yourself, live your life, don't care about others, and understand that what you're doing right now,
238
of course, it will be something that it will connect to something bigger.
239
because every day is the opportunity to do something better.
240
My story, it's a lot of little stories of my life.
241
And right now, being a mom, entrepreneur, married, having a family, it's something that I've never dreamed about.
242
But it's something that right now I can't imagine it without.
243

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
