Shadowing Practice: Learn Russian in Real Brazil - Exploring Florianópolis B1+ - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creating lesson...
1
Привет, друзья!
2
С вами Макс и Юля, и это канал «Русский с Максом».
3
Канал для тех, кто изучает русский.
4
Сегодня у нас будет влог.
5
Медленный, понятный влог.
6
Достаточно понятный, я надеюсь, для тех, кто изучает русский язык.
7
И мы с вами, друзья, сегодня we are in the center of the city of Florianopolis.
8
It's a city in Brazil, where we live now.
9
But we live not in the center of the city.
10
The city is located on the island, so we live in a bit, I would say, in the city, on the edge of the island.
11
But today we arrived in the center and want to show you it.
12
Let's show it.
13
Here is the center.
14
There is a church.
15
There are many historic buildings.
16
Here is a small house.
17
You can see, there are tables.
18
People sell different products.
19
Here is a small square. Or a small park.
20
с высоченными деревьями!
21
Посмотрите, какие потрясающие!
22
Вообще супер!
23
Сейчас мы с вами прогуляемся здесь по центру, покажу вам, что тут есть.
24
Мы потом еще выйдем на набережную, пообедаем в торговом комплексе.
25
В общем, у нас будет сегодня довольно насыщенная программа.
26
But excursions, friends, there will not be, excursions will not be.
27
I will only tell you that this city was based on the same time when my own city is Sankt -Petersburg.
28
Sankt -Petersburg was in 1703 and Florianopolis in 1726.
29
That's a little bit later.
30
I don't know, honestly, what kind of year of construction these buildings are written,
31
but I think it's представители той ранней колониальной архитектуры.
32
Не буду это утверждать, но мне кажется почему -то, что это так.
33
Очень красиво, очень красиво.
34
О, смотрите, здесь можно учить итальянский.
35
Неплохо, неплохо.
36
Дети и взрослые могут учить итальянский язык.
37
интересно, учить русский.
38
Но учить русский лучше всего с Максом.
39
Поэтому такого баннера про русский, друзья, вы не увидите.
40
Русский надо учить с Максом.
41
А вот здесь, кстати, я вам сейчас покажу, сейчас я немножко тут пробегу.
42
Здесь буфет.
43
Буфет.
44
Ливре означает, ну, я не знаю, как это даже правильно.
45
Буфет, когда ты платишь просто за тарелку и можешь есть сколько угодно.
46
Бывают буфеты с едой по килограмму,
47
бывают просто буфеты свободные, когда ты просто ешь сколько хочешь за одну цену.
48
Это очень удобно, я скажу.
49
Мы идем с Юлей и пытаемся понять, как все -таки мы по -русски называем эти свободные буфеты конечно
50
не свободный букет это просто я первое что пришло мне в
51
голову это очень дурацкая фраза не говорите так наверное ближайший аналог
52
будет шведский стол как ни странно шведский да имеет прямое отношение
53
к швеции к стране я не знаю почему может быть in Russia, culture of such buffet came from Switzerland,
54
but the format, when you have different dishes with food,
55
and you sit with your table and eat, like this format we call Swedish food.
56
For example, in our hotel there was an excellent breakfast.
57
It was Swedish food.
58
Yes, Yulia?
59
Yes, we are talking about it.
60
Sometimes they say buffet in this context.
61
For example, hotel, breakfast in the form of buffet.
62
Yes, really?
63
Yes, yes.
64
Because sometimes they say buffet in the form of buffet, where you can just buy a cake.
65
Yes.
66
Yeah, I think in the theater, if you go to the theater, there will be a buffet.
67
But a buffet is just like a cafe.
68
Yeah, like a cafe, where they sell sandwiches, butter and cheese.
69
But in the hotel sometimes they call it a buffet.
70
But the Swedish стол is right.
71
Yeah, the Swedish стол is a great name.
72
But here, of course, we just call it a buffet, just because Because, just because we're with Yulia so we're talking about.
73
We're going to go to the park and then we'll go to the Pешеходной street.
74
We're going to go there.
75
This is very cool.
76
Very cool.
77
I, if you're honest, this, I think, is the second time.
78
We are almost two months now, and three months we lived in the past year.
79
But I'm here for the second time, because usually we live on the edge of the остров, in towns.
80
And, well, I don't need to, honestly, say, to travel in the city.
81
For about two or three months for me it's enough.
82
Можно чаще, но не обязательно.
83
Поэтому я здесь, мне кажется, второй или третий раз.
84
В общем, вот так выглядит этот парк.
85
Мне кажется, очень милый.
86
И вот здесь просто невероятное, огромное деревья.
87
Чёрт побери!
88
Вот, ребята, Толкин писал, да, про эльфов, что они на деревьях жили.
89
Ну, посмотрите, я бы тоже жил здесь, на этих деревьях.
90
Вот реально, я бы здесь жил.
91
Вот я даже As you can see here, you can see here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here,
92
here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here,
93
here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here,
94
here, here, here, here, here, like.
95
Знаете, если бы у меня в детстве на моем участке росло бы такое дерево,
96
я был бы самым счастливым ребенком вообще во всей России.
97
Я кстати в детстве один раз построил дом на дереве.
98
У меня был такой опыт.
99
Было прикольно.
100
Ты в нем жил?
101
Я в нем не жил, но это было такое секретное место.
102
We met with friends, sometimes, we played in cards or something, so it was cool, it was like a place for tussing.
103
It's really cool, it's like a book, I've never had a house on a tree.
104
Well, Yulia, I think the authorities of Florianopolis, unfortunately, won't allow you to find another tree.
105
In a more visible place.
106
And we went to the street on the road.
107
Yulia, Brazilian cacao, this is Brazilian cacao, this is a brand brand, right?
108
This is a store, where it is very delicious chocolate and very delicious chocolate.
109
These are these?
110
Well, they are quite large, they have a lot of начинки, and they are very delicious.
111
I go and buy them.
112
Let's go.
113
Юля пошла покупать конфеты.
114
Она там о чем -то говорит с этим парнем, там они шутят что -то, улыбаются.
115
Не спрашивайте, на каком языке говорит с ним Юля.
116
Этот язык называется портуньоль.
117
It's when you speak, for example, in Spanish, but you use Portuguese words,
118
Portuguese pronunciation, or on the other hand.
119
Hey, Yulia!
120
I have to buy you some confetti.
121
Let's show you, Dobyte, what is there?
122
It's a chocolate chocolate, and it's 60 % cocoa, so it's a chocolate chocolate.
123
Yes.
124

145
Let's take a dark chocolate.
146
Let's try it.
147
It looks like it looks like it has a nice, nice taste in the inside.
148
Can I take half of the milk?
149
Yes.
150
What?
151
Hello.
152
Hello.
153
We came to a guy and he wanted to say something.
154

172
Ciao.
173
Вот так вот, вот вам, друзья, коммуникация.
174
Вот так, вот так это происходит.
175
Пока.
176
I don't want to make the fact that I first try these confets, not the first time, but they are still the same as the first time as the first time.
177
Honestly, we rarely buy these confets.
178
We now turned into a more healthy recipe, a more healthy recipe.
179
Кстати, у меня был подкаст, друзья, где я говорил и про изменения в рационе, и про некоторые конкретные блюда,
180
про некоторые, вернее, открытия среди продуктов, которые мы сделали не так давно.
181
Например, фасоль, да, Юля?
182
Фасоль, да.
183
Черная бразильская фасоль.
184
Это просто открытие было для нас, и мы ее сейчас едим почти каждый день.
185
It's just amazing!
186
It's just amazing!
187
It's just a fantastic product!
188
You can also find other products from this episode.
189
Let's see.
190
Here the homes look like this.
191
I think that these homes are characterized by many countries.
192
And in different periods, in different countries, such architecture was present.
193
In Russia it was a period of the S .S .S .R in the 70s,
194
80s, so many buildings and buildings were built very much.
195
Now we are heading in the direction of the autobus.
196
We are here on the bus for about 50 minutes from the place where we live. Where is my adblocker?

Now we will find Yulia, and she will tell us more about this place.
244
Because she was here, and I haven't been here.
245
I will go there first time.
246
Yulia, tell us something about this place.
247
Yes, this is the place of Florianopolis.
248
He is considered an important place, which everyone wants to visit, who will come to visit.
249
Actually, it was built in 1899.
250
And, what's interesting, it was once he was on the border of the ocean.
251
Here was the ocean near this building, but now, to the ocean, there is still a lot of time to go.
252
All this is a massive.
253
Well, actually, here is not only the market, in the sense that on the market you can buy products, but here you can not only buy products, but also eat.
254
Because the central part of the market is all given to different restaurants and cafes.

Good morning.
330
Good morning.
331
QR -code.
332
Like in the bus.
333
I, I think, lost Yulia.
334
Yulia, where are we going now?
335
We are going to the coast.
336
To the coast?
337
It's the largest coast in Brazil.
338
He connects the coast, where we are now, and the continent.
339
While we are going to the coast, I will show you a little bit of a panorama of the buildings here.
340
Well, as you can see, the buildings are different.
341
There are old, old, old, old, old, old, old, old, old, old, old, old, old, old, old, old, old, old, old, old, old, old, old,
342
old, old, old, old, old, old, old, old.
343
There are these small historical buildings.
344
Look at the hotel.
345
It's beautiful.
346
Look, guys, what a building.
347
This is also an auto -vokel, but it's an international car.
348
Maybe even an international car?
349
Yes, it can be.
350
It's probably going to be in Buenos Aires.
351
Yes.
352
In general, there are two cars.
353
One is local, from the city, maybe from the state.
354
And the second is this.
355
I would probably call him Mеждугородny.
356
Let's go and show you how he looks.
357
There are so many fun zones, as if you look at the airport.
358
Ты туда заходишь и там ждешь своего автобуса.
359
Вот, интересно.
360
Ну и вообще, вокзал выглядит очень, конечно, современно, сравнивая с аналогичным вокзалом в Буэнос -Айресе, да, в столице Аргентины.
361
Ну, к сожалению, видна огромная разница.
362
Просто, я бы сказал, colossальная разница.
363
Хотя они даже похожи.
364
Там тоже на втором этаже есть такой второй этаж, такие мостики похожие.
365
В общем, архитектурно есть что -то похожее, но, конечно, состояние совершенно другое.
366
А вот, смотрите, Рио -Уругвай.
367
Вот так вот выглядят эти зоны, про которые я вам говорил,
368
которые… зоны ожидания, которые похожи на зоны ожидания в аэропорту, забавные.
369
И вот там автобус, люди заходят… Нет, там, по -моему, ну да,
370
там загружают багаж сейчас, и люди скоро куда -то поедут.
371
Итак, в городе Сан -Паулу, в самом большом городе Бразилии, мы с Юлей были.
372
Я, правда, там был, скажем так, чисто для галочки, я был только на окраине.
373
А вот эти два города, Куричиба и Фоздо -Игуасу, туда мы бы хотели съездить.
374
В городе Фоздо Игуасу находятся знаменитые водопады Игуасу,
375
которые уровня Ниагарского водопада, а вот такие же там водопады.
376
А город Куричиба, просто интересно посмотреть, он находится здесь недалеко.
377
Я думаю, что мы туда обязательно съездим.
378
смотрите здесь даже есть вип -зал вип -зал на вокзале прикольно
379
вот он наш мост сейчас нужно понять как нам туда пройти как до моста добраться наверное как -то вот здесь мы сможем
380
I don't know.
381
Oh, can we do this, Yule, road here?
382
Ah, here I see.
383
Here I see.
384
Here, here I see.
385
Here, here.
386
Here, here.
387
Here, here.
388
And then we go right there, right to the bridge.
389
We'll tell you about this bridge, because it's very interesting.
390
Oh, my friends, it's not with us.
391
Oh, it would be she would like to see this place.
392
Well, it's, so I understand, the territory of the restaurant, скорее всего, as I understand.
393
Но посмотрите, какие тут красивые и дома новые, и прикольная труба.
394
Да, вот это в центре из кирпича.
395
Красиво, да?
396
А вот это здание налоговой.
397
Сюда мы ходили еще в прошлом году, чтобы сделать налоговый номер, потому что без него ты не можешь ни сим -карту оформить,
398
ни вообще ничего do not have anything to do without this number.
399
And I remember this almost vertical hill.
400
We were then with Sabrin, with a car.
401
Oh, I don't know how you can see it, but it is almost vertical.
402
Here, the car is now driving.
403
I don't even know how we were there with a car.
404
There we go.
405
We're going to go to the bridge.
406
We're going to the bridge.
407
We're going to the bridge.
408
We're going to the bridge.
409
We're going to the bridge.
410
We're going to the bridge.
411
We're going to the bridge.
412
We're going to the bridge.
413
We're going to the bridge.
414
We're going to the bridge.
415
We're going to the bridge.
416
We're going to the bridge.
417
We're going to the bridge.
418
We're going to the bridge.
419
We're going to the bridge.
420
We're going to the bridge.
421
We're going to the bridge.
422
We're going to the bridge.
423
We're going to the bridge.
424
We're going to the bridge.
425
We're going to the bridge.
426
We're going to the bridge.
427
We're going to the bridge.
428
It's a great thing!
429
It's, in a way, a big automatic, where you can drink water.
430
You just come here, you take a cup of water and drink water.
431
Well, it's not free, of course, you pay.
432
But the camera смотрит за тобой, что ты все сделал правильно, что тебе есть 18 лет.
433
В общем, как -то вот так выглядит свобода.
434
Ладно, шучу, конечно, друзья.
435
Но, правда, это, конечно, интересная штука, такая разливайка.
436
Разливайка, потому что, ну, пиво на разлив, да?
437
Вот это мы называем пиво на But this is not a barman who takes you a beer, but you are the same.
438
In general, it's cool.
439
Let's go look at the bridge.
440
Here we are finally at the bridge.
441
Yulia, can you tell us about the story of this bridge?
442
Because the story is very interesting.
443
Yes, the bridge was built in 1926, So, it was about 100 years ago.
444
100 years!
445
And then the most connected the island with the land.
446
Because before that there was only a baron -like trip.
447
And this caused certain difficulties.
448
And, as I understand, the city of the city of the city.
449
Because Florianopolis is the city of Santa Catarina.
450
The city of Santa Catarina, where we are now.
451
And to leave the city there, where it was, and to open new possibilities for this city,
452
the governor Ersiliu Luz got a huge credit for 50 years to make this city.
453
I would say that he stole the credit.

And it really helped this region to grow better.
457
But the bridge was built for 4 years.
458
He began to build it in 2022 and wanted to call it the bridge of independence.
459
But, unfortunately, the governor died before the bridge was destroyed, and when the bridge was opened,
460
they gave him a name in the name of the governor.
461
It was called the Eurcelio Lus, and in the name of the governor, it is called the airport,
462
and the park, yes, there is a big park in his name.
463
Like this, friends, there was no infrastructure, there was no development, there was a bridge,
464
there was a bridge, and there was an active development of the остров.

In general, thank you to the governor for the fact that we can now go and enjoy this beauty.
466
Yes, on the weekends, this bridge is closed for cars, and he is completely given to passengers and riders.

The island of you takes something and gives you something.
486

487
He bought me my love ring.
488
It's a gold ring.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
