Be a taste of two cities.
3
The city of Sao Paulo, Brazil has hundreds of Japanese restaurants.
4
A world away, in Hamamatsu, Japan, there are many places to buy and eat Brazilian food.
5
Why is each country's food so popular in the other?
6
The answer to this question dates back to the early 20th century.
7
b.
8
In 1908, people from Japan began moving to Brazil to work on coffee plantations.
9
Many of these Japanese immigrants, called Niki, moved to Sao Paulo and settled in a neighbourhood called Liberdade.
10
Like many immigrants, they spoke their native language and prepared traditional foods from their home country.
11
Over time, the Niki opened many Japanese markets and restaurants in the Liberdade district.
12
Today, this neighbourhood has one of the largest Japanese communities outside of Japan.
13
Restaurants sell ramen, noodles and sushi on every corner.
14
Also, each weekend there is a large street market.
15
Street sellers sell traditional Japanese goods and foods.
16
The event is popular with both city residents and tourists.
17
See, in the 1980s, three generations after the first Niki settled in Brazil, a reverse migration began to take place.
18
Over 300,000 Japanese Brazilians moved to Japan, mainly to work in electronics and automobile factories.
19
Many settled in Hamamatsu, a city on the east coast of Japan.
20
Most Japanese Brazilians spoke only their native language Portuguese.
21
They also missed the foods and culture of Brazil.
22
Over time, a number of Brazilian restaurants and stores opened in Hamamatsu.
23
Today, there is still a large Brazilian population in the city.
24
All over Hamamatsu, food shops and restaurants sell traditional Brazilian foods, such as Pão de Queijo, a type of bread, and Fehoada,
25
a bean stew with beef and pork.
26
D. Today it's possible to eat excellent Japanese food in Sao Paulo and traditional Brazilian cuisine, too in Hamamatsu.
27
Whether travelling through Brazil or Japan, it's worth visiting these two cities to experience the tastes and cultures of their unique immigrant communities.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
