115

vocês Caso ainda vocês não conheçam my guide to English to survival.

116

I developed this guide just after many comments, many positive feedbacks about my English videos, and many of you also asked for a more exclusive material.

117

This guide was thought about you, viajante, or you who want to learn the basic for when comes a opportunity to speak English,

118

you don't pass a perrengue.

119

We have some modules already available, like English for airport, English for hotels, English for restaurants, English for rua,

120

questions super basic and super useful for not to pass perrengue in the middle of the street.

121

Novos modules will be released as soon as the time passes, okay?

122

This guide will always be updated.

123

The guide is 100 % online and video.

124

I particularly learn more when I'm watching a video.

125

So I'm going to do it in this format, because it works for me, I believe it will work for you too.

126

And from now, there is a 10 % off coupon for you, it's on the screen

127

Enjoy, I hope you like it very well

128

And let's continue today

129

dry strawberry on the top.

130

Oh, I didn't know it was dry.

131

Yes.

132

She was talking about her college, and I remember when you told me, when you first met, you told me about your college,

133

because at the time you were the only

134

Brazilian over there, and you didn't know how to speak in English at the time, right?

135

Yeah, I mean, I had classes in Brazil, like six -year class, but like that traditional English schools in Brazil.

136

Yeah.

137

So it is different, because I had the diploma saying like, hey, yeah, she knows how to talk in English,

138

but I remember I did some conversation classes in Brazil

139

and sometimes they had like I didn't know some words

140

so I would come to my teacher and say like how is

141

that and then she would just translate for me and then I

142

when I had to go there I had to force myself to talk in English

143

it was a little harder for me

144

and I remember this professor of mine he I think he's Canadian

145

so he speaks English but I think he gets the people that doesn't speak English, you know?

146

And then I remember one day he was like, OK, Leticia, so what?

147

I studied music, so he was like, what is the this between this and so on?

148

And I was like, uh...

149

And then he's like, OK, so he translated and I was like, OK, so after class, he's like, you know how to do this.

150

Maybe you just don't know how to express yourself.

151

Yes, yes.

152

So, but a lot of my professors are very, like, gentle, They were very comprehensive.

153

I had terrible headaches.

154

I can imagine.

155

Because my mind was so tired.

156

It was exhausting.

157

So it was 5 p .m and I was like, I just want to shut down my brain.

158

And I would go to my room and call anyone to talk in Portuguese.

159

I have to speak Portuguese.

160

Because I didn't have anyone to speak in Portuguese.

161

But if you search for things that you are into it, like, for example, Gabriel, he is into games.

162

So he started his English like he's a self -taught person

163

so he started like with games and like movies and all of

164

that so like if you are like in a topic

165

that you're like for some you with makeup like it's something already like it

166

so it was easier for you to relate to that yeah yeah

167

and talk about this about YouTube channel she's making right now 100 % English video, right?

168

So I will give her a link here in the below.

169

And go watch it, please, because her English is perfect.

170

So it's another channel to train your listening.

171

It's always good to have one more option.

172

Yeah, it's always good.

173

So here's another option.

174

Go there, go there.

175

I'm so comfortable right now.

176

I mean, nothing better than my tea.

177

It's so hot.

178

My kindle, my sofa my apartment now I'm gonna take it easy take

179

it slow to go sleep very well usually I don't like hot tea I mean I am

180

so much like cold drinks girl

181

but especially now drink something hot before I go to bed it's like a hug in or so.

182

You know what I mean?

183

I feel way more better, way more prepared for the another day.

184

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.
