1
Well, hello there.
2
How are you?
3
Welcome to the second episode of English with Sue's podcast.
4
For today's episode, I have prepared something very fun, very personal, just overall different.
5
I don't think I've talked about this at all, like ever.
6
So it'll be fun.
7
Buckle up.
8
Pay attention to key vocab words.
9
Pay attention to how I am enunciating certain words.
10
Pay attention to how I conjugate the verbs and feel free to take some notes as well.
11
Let's start.
12
Today I wanted to make this episode a little bit more personal.
13
I'm going to be talking about some of the challenges I faced when I moved abroad to the States from Brazil.
14
And I don't think I've talked about this because I don't really like to expose my life too much on social media.
15
but I feel like a lot of my followers on TikTok either plan to move abroad
16
and that's why they're trying to learn English or they already live abroad
17
and they might be facing the same challenges that I myself faced
18
and I'll be honest sometimes I still face these challenges
19
so the first thing I wanted to talk about is first
20
of all is my microphone working hold on it is I can never tell
21
because it's like daytime so I can't really see the lights
22
but anyways going back to what I was saying um I think
23
that the first thing that was super hard for me was
24
because I was super young right
25
when I moved to the states I was 15 years old
26
and so I felt like at the same time
27
that I was super excited to start high school
28
and like make new friends and learn the language
29
and I don't know kind of like evolve as a human being I was also really scared
30
so I feel like the number one challenge we all collectively
31
face together is being scared of the unknown right this is super cliche
32
but I had to start with something
33
and I'm gonna start with what was obvious and what is obvious
34
which is fear you're scared right you're scared
35
if you're gonna make new friends you're scared
36
if you're going to adapt you're scared
37
if people are gonna look down on you you're scared
38
and you know being 15 you are extra scared
39
because you're young right you don't have the same maturity
40
that an adult might have and I think that it's not even about me being mature I think it's honestly,
41
because you might be experiencing fear or that kind of a fear for the first time.
42
So you don't know how to deal with it, right?
43
So that was the first thing that I faced.
44
I was very scared of isolation, maybe not making friends, maybe not getting used to it,
45
not adapting, and not knowing what could happen.
46
I didn't know if I could ever go back to Brazil.
47
I didn't really know
48
because all I knew was that that was my life and I had to make something out of it.
49
I had to make it work.
50
The one thing that I will say is that people think
51
that Americans are really cold people and they're not nice
52
because of the way they live their lives or just like it's just different and I've talked about this before.
53
Americans are not necessarily cold people.
54
It's just a language thing in my opinion the English language
55
um it's a very neutral language you know it's not very expressive
56
so it's kind of like quote-unquote almost impossible for an American person to be as expressive as like a Brazilian
57
because the English the the English oh my the English language
58
is not even like as expressive as the Portuguese language right so it doesn't really add up in the end.
59
So people tend to think that and I used to think the same thing.
60
But then when you really put yourself out there and you let that fear go away, you will find Americans super fun,
61
nice and talkative, you know, and I mean, it was kind of like my experience.
62
I've lived in three different states in America.
63
I've lived in Florida, California and Utah.
64
And I am telling you like, they're super nice you know and you're usually like super scared
65
because like I said like it's everything is new
66
and you don't know if you're going to adapt or whatever
67
but then once you let that fear go away
68
and you actually talk to people
69
and you try to make friends you will see how nice
70
they are like they're actually like really really nice they talk to you you know another fear
71
that I had was like I was scared
72
that Americans were going to make fun of my accent
73
or make fun of me because of my English but the thing
74
that I noticed and I'm going to be very honest with you is
75
that Americans are super super super used to foreign people right like America was built
76
because of not because of Americans honestly it was it was build because of like people that came from other places, right?
77
And that's the beauty of it. So
78
Americans are so used to it
79
that they will most likely not make fun of you because you make a mistake or hold that against you.
80
They're just going to correct you, you know?
81
So that was the first lesson that I learned was
82
that not only let your fear go because you'll see
83
that they're actually super nice and talkative and friendly
84
but also you'll see
85
that they're not going to make fun of you you know they're just going to help you
86
and correct you because they're used to foreigners okay it's working um anyway so
87
that that's kind of like the beginning of everything i'd say like the first year my first year over here
88
so my sophomore year of high school i think I did my freshman year in Brazil.
89
But anyways, another thing that was hard for me was, I think that like the food,
90
honestly, it's hard to explain it because when I, at least like, I don't know about you,
91
but when I was in Brazil, I used to eat a lot of like
92
things that people usually eat here but then
93
when I moved here I didn't like those things anymore
94
and I have no idea how to explain it to you
95
I feel like it's just a matter of how processed food
96
is here like it's actually bizarre like I can eat two burgers in Brazil
97
and I'm not going to be like super bloated
98
because of the way they process food there but then
99
when I eat like two like bites of a burger here I am 10 pounds heavier
100
because of the way they process food here so I think
101
that food the food situation here was really hard for me and it took me some time to
102
get used to it
103
and also find ways to kind of like finesse my way out of it
104
because I was young you know like it's it's very rare
105
that you meet like a 15 16 year old
106
that likes to cook or knows about cooking so
107
that was my thing but once I like as I got older I started prioritizing organic food
108
or I don't know like shopping you know like growing grocery shopping um to different places
109
that they have like better food less processed food
110
because it's still processed but it's way less right so
111
that was like the one challenge
112
that was really hard for me it wasn't necessarily like the culinary here
113
or like the cuisine because you know when I lived in Brazil I loved eating burgers, pizza, like American breakfast, like American dishes,
114
but it's just the way food is processed here, it's actually bizarre, like I have no idea,
115
I had no idea how different it was till I got here, so that was another challenge that was a little bit different,
116
and I don't know if people talk about it, but food, the food situation here is real, like it's actually crazy,
117
um and then another thing that was really hard for me was maintaining friends
118
so I feel like it's not hard to talk to people here
119
and it's not hard to make friends
120
but it's very hard to keep friends here um
121
and I feel like in high school I really felt
122
that you know
123
so to give you a little bit of a background um
124
I went to two different high schools I went to a high school in Florida
125
and a high school in California both of those high schools were massive like gigantic especially the one
126
that I went in California
127
so like there was like there were a lot of options
128
you know don't get me wrong it wasn't like a small school
129
but the thing was it wasn't hard to talk to people people would you know like they they'll find out
130
that you're from a different country and you know they're like we're kids
131
so they get excited and they want to talk to you
132
and they're super nice and then you have like a whole two-hour conversation with
133
that kid in high school and then you know a day goes by you see
134
that kid like somewhere else in school and
135
that kid won't talk to you because that's just how people work here
136
and that was really bizarre to me you know
137
because it's like dude we had like a two-hour conversation yesterday we were vibing
138
and then I see you today
139
and like you it's like you don't even know me
140
and I experienced that multiple times especially in high school like crazy amount of times you know
141
and with time I noticed that it's not just in high school
142
but I feel like when you become an adult and you start working you have co-workers it's the same thing and
143
so I feel like here in America at least it's really
144
easy to talk to people like I said they're really nice
145
to you they're very talkative you can hang out with them
146
or whatever but it's very hard to keep
147
that friendship you know I I think that
148
and like I don't even know why I don't I wish I had an explanation for
149
that but I'd say it took me a good like two years or three years to make
150
friends and keep those friendships
151
and don't get me wrong it wasn't like people would do something like shady
152
or sketchy and that's why like I didn't like I didn't really like keep
153
that friendship it's just that people work different here
154
and I have no idea how to explain it to you
155
and this might sound super confusing
156
but it's just the truth like I wish I could explain it to you
157
and I don't know
158
if this happens only to you know like foreign people like me I don't know
159
if it happens to Americans but that's how I kind of like felt
160
and it's just really weird it's really bizarre
161
and feel free to comment down below if you've also experienced
162
that you know um because I I don't know like that's the best way
163
that I can say it like it's really easy to talk to people
164
and make friends but it's really hard to keep those friendships I have no idea how
165
or why um anyways another challenge again I have to double check it's working um another challenge
166
that I faced here was when I became an adult honestly
167
so people say that Americans are extremely like workaholics
168
and with time you'll find yourself becoming a workaholic as well the thing is whenever I go back to Brazil
169
and I go hang out with my friends they have like
170
they have the time to go to work they have the
171
time to rest they have the time to be with their family
172
and their friends and they manage their time
173
and they work their way like around it
174
and they're able to do it right at least from my experience
175
but over here i feel like people just work you know
176
there's no such thing as like i mean i will tell you like i had
177
minimal wage jobs for like years
178
and years of my life before I started working with social media
179
and teaching English
180
but I've worked at an acai shop I've worked in fast
181
food I've worked with sales I've worked in a coffee shop um I've done like everything you know
182
and people just like they just work and work and work
183
and you do a double and then you do a triple and then
184
it's Sunday and you ditch your family to go work
185
and stuff and it's like and then in the beginning you kind of find
186
that crazy but then you find yourself doing
187
that you know you all you can do all you think
188
about is work I don't know how to explain it to you
189
and I know that for some people this sounds amazing
190
because maybe they don't have a lot of like job opportunities where they live
191
and all you want to do is work
192
but I will say it gets to a point
193
that you just live this like your life becomes this intense auto mode
194
and whenever you're not working you feel guilty you feel useless
195
you feel like you're not living your life you feel like your whole life is just about work.
196
And I experienced that.
197
And I still experience that.
198
Even though I don't work, you know, like a nine to five, I don't go into an office, I work remote.
199
It's really hard for me to disassociate myself from work.
200
And I've talked to a lot of my American friends, my family, my dad, you know,
201
my dad's American and all of them said the same thing you know whenever they go to Europe
202
or they go on vacation anywhere that's not in America
203
and they see how people live their lives there they see how people have time to work
204
but they have time for their family they have time for
205
their friends they have time to rest whenever they see
206
that they either think it's crazy or they're like wow I wish I could do
207
that and I think that that's one of the main reasons why Americans retire super late it's
208
because they can't imagine a life without working in my opinion
209
i'll give you an example my dad he started working
210
when he was 13 years old and he worked
211
so much up until he was like 73 i think
212
or 75 like the guy just didn't want to retire like it's crazy and one time i asked him I was like, why didn't you retire before?
213
Like, it's not like you were, you know, like you needed to, like you needed to survive.
214
Like you, you know, you, you live pretty comfortable.
215
And he said, because I just feel useless when I'm not working.
216
And, and then like, whenever you go to like Walmart or like Target or anywhere here, you see these like really,
217
really, really old people still working.
218
I mean, like 80, 90 years old.
219
Like it's crazy, like super old.
220
You see them still working
221
and you kind of feel bad because you're like wow like this is
222
so messed up you know like these people should be enjoying their retirement why are they working
223
and then one time I actually ask I actually asked um this um elder you know this like older guy
224
that was um checking my receipt to get out of Walmart
225
and I asked him I was like sir like you we had a conversation before like it wasn't like weird
226
or anything you know I wasn't like prying but I asked him I was like sir like
227
with all due respect like why are you still working you
228
know like you you seem you know like maybe like rest
229
a little bit you know like be with your family
230
and your friends and like this sounds like really weird how I'm talking
231
but I didn't say it like this it's just
232
that this was a long time ago
233
and I don't remember how I said it
234
but I worded it very nicely and he told me like yeah I'm actually retired
235
but I still want to work because I feel like I need to work
236
because that's how I'm wired and I just think that's crazy you know
237
and that was a challenge for me in the beginning mainly
238
because of like family things you know I my dad
239
because he was so workaholic you know he was rarely home
240
and so that was a challenge
241
and then also you know like you're expected to work like a slave
242
when you're starting out working in minimal wage here
243
and in the beginning that's a challenge
244
because they're like dude like no I can't like do a
245
double on a Sunday like I need to like I need to have one day off
246
and you know they they make it seem like you're the
247
worst person ever asking for a day off on a Sunday um
248
but then with time I actually became that person
249
and I feel like a lot of people become that you know they start getting wired in that
250
in that way because that's just how life works here
251
and that's how you're used to it and
252
when you spend a lot of time here most likely you'll become
253
that so that was also a really tricky challenge um
254
that I not only adapted to it but I also kind of like became
255
that and I feel like a lot of people struggle with
256
that and then they just find themselves doing the same thing um
257
but anyways guys um that's it for today for our podcast
258
like I said I can't really upload super super long videos here
259
because I don't have enough subscribers YouTube won't allow you to
260
um upload anything past 27 minutes I don't know um
261
because you need to have like a certain amount of subscribers
262
and stuff so I can't really upload like a super crazy long video right but anyways that was today's podcast episode.
263
I hope you enjoyed.
264
I will see you next week.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
