Prática de Shadowing: are you still watching? - Aprenda a falar inglês com vídeo
Criando lição...
1
How much do you spend on streaming every month?
2
How much do I spend?
3
Yeah, this is like...
4
Or how much do other people spend on my behalf?
5
Thank you to Hostinger for sponsoring this video, and to our patrons for supporting the channel.
6
Okay, let me Google how much it costs, because I don't know what these cost.
7
Okay, I did some Googling.
8
Thank goodness I don't pay for all this myself.
9
I don't like hearing that.
10
You want to know why?
11
I have all of them, and I'm paying for all of them.
12
Who loses out if I have a VPN and a dream?
13
Yeah, like why are they also so pressed about sharing passwords?
14
Are they really that broke?
15
Woman who doesn't pay for streaming services, are you really that broke?
16
Do you use all of these services every month?
17
Ah, I open it every day.
18
That's crazy.
19
It might be.
20
I ended up doing the math and it turns out I spent 97 Canadian dollars
21
and 86 Canadian cents every month to watch videos on the internet.
22
The thing you're doing right now for free.
23
But the funny thing is, is that I don't really care about the money.
24
My problem with streaming isn't the cost, it's that it just...
25
It doesn't feel like home anymore.
26
I might be the only person who feels this way, if you search up the state of streaming on the internet right now, you're gonna find a half dozen video essays with millions of you saying, we gotta go back to piracy,
27
but at risk of sounding like a boot licker, I don't really want to do that anymore.
28
Don't ask me what's on this hard drive.
29
Now I do think there's a valid case for archiving work
30
so it doesn't vanish in case some loser with a spreadsheet doesn't want to pay residuals, But beyond that, I don't mind using my disposable income on things that are important to me.
31
And streaming services are weirdly important to me.
32
Maybe it's because I've been using them since the beginning.
33
Do you remember this?
34
My family cut the cable in the late 2000s in favor of this.
35
A Netflix disc for the Nintendo Wii console that connected to their video streaming service.
36
It's so old that they had to remind people not to return the disc.
37
For the first time, we didn't need to worry about recording programs or managing our DVR.
38
We didn't need to get a box set if we wanted to watch every episode of a TV show.
39
Now this meant a lot to me specifically because I'm a youngest child, which meant that I had no control over the remote during the best TV hours.
40
But Netflix meant that I could watch what I wanted when I wanted.
41
And it turns out that was all of the time.
42
I am finally, finally, 100% caught up with Castle and...
43
I have no more purpose in life.
44
They shaped my interests and personality in comically obvious ways.
45
Whoever?
46
I'm the castle.
47
Castle, castle.
48
I really am.
49
I'm the handsome one.
50
I spent my days exploring different worlds with different characters.
51
Top three, by the way, are 30 Rock, Psych, and now Scrubs.
52
No particular order.
53
They're all just so good.
54
This sort of constancy was only possible thanks to streaming giving me a new way to watch TV.
55
Shows weren't just something I caught when it was on.
56
They were a place to live for a few seasons.
57
And before you say that this is just what happens when you're an adult with responsibilities, I want to say
58
that my life is is comically similar to what it was
59
ten years ago Let me just find this one clip
60
So I'm eventually going to get up and go edit yesterday's daily vlog
61
and probably just watch the Mindy project on my second monitor
62
But that's about all for today
63
If you want to see me keep making daily vlogs make sure you like share
64
and subscribe and I will see you tomorrow
65
That was ten years ago The only thing that's different is
66
my glasses my entire life has been making YouTube videos and watching TV except I'm not watching TV anymore.
67
I think my problem is that there's just too much friction.
68
I'm reaching for my phone to use Instagram instead of watching TV because TV just feels like so much work nowadays.
69
I know I sound cooked, but like, I just picture it as browsing, clicking through different apps and titles
70
and watching the sorry excuse for what counts as a trailer nowadays as it auto-plays
71
while I'm trying to read the show description.
72
I can't escape into another world because it feels like I'm stuck in traffic trying to get there,
73
But I want to go to there because I love TV.
74
So I want to figure out how to bring back the parts of the streaming experience
75
that I loved as a kid to find my way back home.
76
To start, I looked for what was making streaming feel so insufferable nowadays.
77
There were a bunch of articles explaining the rising cost and economics of it all.
78
But when it came down to the actual experience of watching stuff, this one idea kept popping up in different words.
79
Abundance of options, content overload, Choice fatigue.
80
Basically...
81
My lungs are too buttery!
82
My steak too juicy!
83
My content too abundant!
84
That's what I sound like, and you know what?
85
I'm right.
86
Because it is a problem.
87
For two reasons.
88
First, we have the paradox of choice, or overchoice, or choice overload.
89
Bit of an ironic name, but it's when too many choices gets in the way of making a decision.
90
Alongside that, we have decision fatigue, where making too many decisions impairs your ability to make more decisions.
91
Both of these things can collide after a long day of living in a society.
92
Maybe we're fighting off a crash out over a customer, or a co-worker, or an exclamation point in an email.
93
But we also need to decide what to eat, when to do our laundry, whether or not we should cancel that gym membership that we never used, but maybe we should just start going to the gym?
94
All the while our phone just sends us more things that we need to decide.
95
Should I text them back?
96
What do I do about the news?
97
It just won't shut up!
98
Not all of these choices can build up into this big lump of exhausting reality.
99
So, you might want to escape for a second to a different world. But to do that...
100
YOU HAVE TO MAKE MORE CHOICES!
101
BAH!
102
BAH!
103
BAH!
104
CHAP!
105
Now I'll admit, struggling with what to watch isn't new.
106
Before all of this, we were loitering in a blockbuster or flipping through TV channels.
107
But the difference now is that there is so much more.
108
We're all choice overloaded and decision fatigued, so it can be tempting just to choose not to choose.
109
Just settle back into a comfort show or scroll on social media which makes all the decisions for you. But...
110
I don't know.
111
I just don't want to be so passive with this thing that I care about.
112
I don't want to be the kind of person who's convinced
113
that all of the good TV shows were made when I was a kid during my formative years, just because I haven't had the time to really engage with anything new.
114
So how do we fix this?
115
Well, the same way we always do.
116
With a website made with Hostinger!
117
They've been sponsoring videos on this channel for almost five years now.
118
So, I wanna get rid of all the decisions that don't matter and focus on the only one that does.
119
What do I want to watch?
120
So I made a simple tool that lets you browse titles and add it to your watch list.
121
Wow! So under-stimulating.
122
Then it just tells you which streaming service has the most stuff that you actually want to watch.
123
This should simplify the math of which streaming service you should get and help you stay focused when you actually use it.
124
You've already made the one choice that matters, so you're free to ignore all the chaos.
125
Or embrace it.
126
I don't know where you sit on the alignment chart.
127
I think they should make streaming easier.
128
And I know that it was easy to make, thanks to Hostinger.
129
I got my premium hosting plan, which is available for just $2.99 a month.
130
I got my free domain that comes with a hosting plan.
131
And I got my free business mailbox so all your bug reports don't clog up my main email address.
132
But there won't be any bugs.
133
Cause I didn't code the backend.
134
Instead I made no code workflows with N8N.
135
They have hundreds of nodes and integrations that you just drag and drop.
136
No need to code, no need to worry about semicolons.
137
Now, N8N does have a cloud platform, but I prefer to self-host
138
because I don't want to have to worry about rate limiting
139
in case you guys make this website go viral like you did for spellcheck.
140
More than a thousand people still go to this website every day!
141
I made this game as a joke!
142
Self-hosting also keeps my data and your data if you use the site more private.
143
So I use Hostinger's self-hosted N8N plan.
144
It's really convenient being able to manage all things related to my website in one dashboard.
145
These two plans make it possible for me to make basically any website, web app, tool I can imagine while writing basically no code.
146
It's awesome.
147
I'd call it a miracle, but it's actually just Hostinger.
148
One of the most comprehensive and affordable web hosting platforms out there.
149
You can make your portfolio, online store, vibe-coded app all in one place.
150
Literally, you can host multiple websites with one plan.
151
If you're ready to get started, you could go to hostinger.com forward slash answer in progress or click the first link in the description.
152
And you can use our code answer in progress for 10% off your first purchase.
153
Either way, we've got a website.
154
Now let's use it and see if we saved streaming.
155
No big deal.
156
I made a website.
157
Of course she did.
158
Do you guys remember how I have all the streaming services?
159
That you pay for every single one of them.
160
To be honest, my problem isn't the money.
161
My problem is that I just want to be using the streaming services.
162
Spoken like a true secret billionaire.
163
My problem isn't the money.
164
It's the principle of it all.
165
Okay, explain, explain.
166
The problem is...
167
When I was younger, I built my identity around what I watched.
168
I loved it so, so much.
169
And that just doesn't happen anymore.
170
And it made me sad.
171
Well, you have all of these streaming services.
172
How are you not getting lost in pop culture?
173
You have them all at your fingertips.
174
That's exactly it.
175
I should be able to do this thing that I was able to do back when like there was one streaming service.
176
Why does it seem harder than ever?
177
And I think it's because there's just too much streaming services.
178
I'm having...
179
This is actually the funniest conversation we've ever had.
180
I pay for 10 streaming services.
181
My problem is that there are too many streaming services You pay for 10 streaming services!
182
Hearing it out loud
183
I don't even know what this video is about The premise of this conversation is so funny My lobster too juicy,
184
my steak too buttery Like truly like what are we talking about?
185
My tummy hurts Cause your steak too juicy So anyway,
186
you have 10 streaming services and that's a problem for you because you were a child once.
187
I kind of wish we had this conversation a little earlier
188
because it feels like the answer should have been only use one streaming service.
189
What have you done?
190
I made a website.
191
Wow.
192
What do I do?
193
You make a watch list on the website and then it tells you
194
which streaming service has the most of the stuff on your
195
watch list way actually kind of good like this might be no offense sabrina this might be the first
196
genuinely useful website
197
that you have made for a video you can kind of create your list of things
198
that you want to watch without being overwhelmed by an actual streaming service that's trying to tell you
199
that you want to watch this thing you're like do i actually want to watch this thing
200
so you can like make your list without the distractions of streaming services so true it made choosing
201
what I want to watch.
202
Stopped feeling overwhelming and I just got to experience like the fun of Discovery again.
203
I also liked there's like a section where you it'll show you one item
204
and you can say yes or no. That's great.
205
Okay so remind me again what is your problem?
206
Are you trying to reduce the number of subscriptions that you are currently subscribed to?
207
Okay so theoretically yes this should have helped me manage my streaming service subscriptions.
208
I can't cancel any of my plans because they're all annual subscriptions.
209
Oh no!
210
Theoretically it could help though.
211
Okay.
212
My website, while I think it's useful, it didn't solve every problem people have with streaming.
213
I shared the website with our audience and 33% of people just said, no, this was not useful to me.
214
A lot of it boiled down to the fact that like there are people out there who want to boycott
215
big streamers entirely for a lot of reasons.
216
There are the labor disputes that drove the writer and actor strikes.
217
There are these unpredictable catalogs due to licensing or memory holding work for a tax break.
218
There's the introduction of ads, which kind of defeats the entire purpose that streaming started with.
219
And like some people just want to opt out of that.
220
I only subscribe to a couple of streaming services, but when there's something that I want to watch that's just not on on a streaming service, I will just buy the digital copy.
221
Really?
222
I think this comes from me when I was a kid.
223
I would just buy the DVD box sets.
224
I have three minion movies in high res Blu-ray 3D.
225
You really need to see that.
226
Blu-ray.
227
I think that a lot of people's problems with streaming is very valid
228
and it makes me appreciate physical media a lot more.
229
One thing I think I'm going to try
230
and do with the website is also use like the eBay
231
API to add another option on top of streaming for like everything that you search for.
232
Check if there is a DVD available for it.
233
But honestly, ever since I made this first version, I haven't spent that much more time working on it
234
because I have been too busy watching things again guys since
235
i made this site last week i have watched two entire
236
tv series whoa i thought you're gonna say two movies me too crazy seasons
237
or series two series five seasons total of media in two
238
weeks in one week in one week i watched all of barry
239
and season one of widow's bay it ah so good the tumblr girl is back well ready to make some gift sets.
240
Yes and no. What do you mean?
241
They're both like really good.
242
Like I was watching them and I was like oh this is like art.
243
Like I'm watching something that is like just truly beautiful craftsmanship.
244
But it doesn't hit the same as like.
245
That's because you're not a child.
246
That's because you're not a child.
247
No no no that's not true.
248
At the same time that I was watching these two shows, I have also been making my way through the West Wing.
249
I hate this show.
250
Aaron Sorkin needs to pay for his crimes.
251
And yet here I am searching it up on Pinterest and Tumblr and AO3.
252
AO3 of the West Wing?
253
What even is it?
254
That is a fan fiction website.
255
Hands off the keyboard.
256
Okay.
257
And so it's not because I'm an adult now, Because I'm still capable of being cringe.
258
Oh, sure, that's another way to put it.
259
The West Wing was made 20 plus years ago.
260
There's something about it that feels different compared to shows that are made more recently.
261
Shows that I know that are objectively good, but it just doesn't trap me in the same way.
262
And I don't know why.
263
I think that streaming has probably changed the way TV is made, but I don't know if that means that it doesn't hit the same.
264
Maybe you are just not watching the shows that hit the same way as that show.
265
So I decided to watch what the fangirls were watching.
266
To be honest, it was a blast, especially watching with friends.
267
However, it still wasn't hitting the same.
268
Something still felt off.
269
Now, don't get me wrong.
270
I am having a great time watching the Summer I Turned Pretty Season 1 Episode 4 Summer Heat.
271
But if I think about it, I'm like 15% of the way through the show.
272
There's just not enough show.
273
And the interesting thing is, if I want more show, I get directed towards the books instead of fan fiction.
274
These fandoms are not popping off in the way that I would expect from like the cultural reach of these shows.
275
Not only is there less stuff, but there's also less space to play with it.
276
And then I think about the equivalent shows that would have been made 20 years ago, Gossip Girl, The O.C.
277
Those shows, they made some unexpected choices.
278
some of which got turned into some of the greatest SNL skits of all time.
279
This is a loose homage to the final moment of the season two finale of The O.C.
280
It was incredibly stupid, but also, I don't know, incredibly human.
281
There is a chance that I'm just being nostalgic about the past, but it really feels like moments like that don't happen in TV anymore.
282
Somebody in the comments is going to say like, no, this show does that.
283
This show does that.
284
I've been watching a lot of TV.
285
Still looking for it.
286
These weird human choices that don't necessarily serve the story. Where did they go?
287
It's been a process for creators of figuring out how to effectively tell stories in different ways.
288
My name is Amanda Lotz.
289
I'm a professor of media studies, currently at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia.
290
But I am by birth American and spent much of my career studying media industries in the US.
291
And she studied them.
292
This is just a handful of her books exploring how technological infrastructure actually impacts the stories that get told.
293
So in order to really appreciate what is different about TV shows today, I think we need to understand the past.
294
We need to know how older technology shaped the foundations of TV in order to see how streaming changed it.
295
Amanda was kind enough to walk me through the major evolutionary stages of TV, starting with broadcast.
296
Broadcast, I think the word that I would use in conjunction with that is scarcity.
297
Building off radio technology.
298
Broadcasts work by capturing audio and video, converting it into an electrical signal, and transmitting that signal through the air at a specific frequency or channel,
299
as in TV channel.
300
Now anyone with an antenna could catch that transmission and convert the signal back to a show, But not just anyone could send transmissions.
301
It was a technically difficult thing to do, but more importantly, if there were too many transmissions, it would clog the airways.
302
It would make them unusable.
303
The government would organize them.
304
We created licenses.
305
And in most places, there weren't very many licenses.
306
And that's where the scarcity comes from.
307
With only a handful of broadcasters needing to appeal to entire nations at once, the programming was pretty generic.
308
In the early 50s and 60s, there were a lot of family sitcoms.
309
Westerns were really big, police shows, medical shows.
310
The game was to try to attract the most attention, because that attention would be sold to advertisers.
311
Now we all know that our attention is being sold to advertisers, even the good ones.
312
You can use code ANSWERINPROGRESS for 10% off your first website by clicking the link in the description.
313
But it's important to note just how mass appeal this media was meant to be.
314
Early broadcast programming was designed to appeal to as many people as possible, no matter the age, race, politics, education.
315
Broadcast technology was for everyone, and so the shows were designed for numbers, not niches.
316
That started to change with cable.
317
Cable started actually fairly soon after television only as a technology to help people who,
318
due to geography like mountains or living with big skyscrapers, couldn't receive those signals over the air.
319
So cable just started as an alternative way to transmit and receive shows.
320
The advantage for cable companies was that they could charge people for access in a way that broadcasters couldn't.
321
But in order to get people to pay, they needed to offer something new.
322
In the 70s, you have the launch of some new kinds of content.
323
It's mostly around specialized channels, so sports, ESPN is one of the earliest ones.
324
CNN was probably particularly important.
325
That ability to be able to watch news at any point in the day, that was new then.
326
HBO, they start to sort of do things that people would say, you can't do that on television,
327
partly because they weren't governed by the same rule as broadcasters, but I'd say even more so because of their business model.
328
They were able to cater to people who wanted something different
329
and were so desirous of that that they were willing to pay.
330
Now, when I hear sports, news, HBO, I don't think niche.
331
But that might just be because I am in the niche.
332
This thing that happens in the early 2000s, like the New York Times would talk about HBO as though this was,
333
you know, the thing that everyone was consuming it was probably very important to people who read the New York Times.
334
Not only is this the sickest burn I have ever heard, it's also kind of true.
335
The finale of HBO's Succession, one of the greatest TV shows of this decade, had a series high of 2.9 million views.
336
Young Sheldon's series finale had 9 million, and that wasn't even the highest viewed episode.
337
I think that that is crazy, but now I understand why.
338
Young Sheldon is a broadcast show.
339
It is mass appeal by design.
340
Succession is specialized.
341
It appeals to a narrower audience who is more invested.
342
It's not fungible!
343
Now this isn't a strict dichotomy.
344
As broadcast and cable evolve side by side, I think there were shows that blended the best of both worlds.
345
30 Rock and Psych followed the broadcast formula.
346
They were workplace procedurals, but they were weird.
347
The West Wing was also broadcast, but was written like a cable show, except the seasons were way longer.
348
This led to a lot of filler episodes and storylines, some of which were great!
349
Squeeze this piece of rye bread.
350
Now what do I do?
351
Most of which were terrible.
352
But we gotta just spend time with the characters in their world.
353
I think that's what I miss.
354
Weirdos with the air time to play.
355
Barry and Widow's Bay and Hax and Shrinking and Severance
356
and all the great shows today have incredible characters and worlds that I don't get to spend time with
357
because the plot keeps getting in the way!
358
I know what I sound like.
359
I know that that is a stupid thing to complain about, but it's my stupid thing, okay?
360
Television used to have space for this full spectrum of tight stories and shows about nothing.
361
But in the streaming age, things feel off balance.
362
So what changed?
363
Netflix seems to have learned from cable.
364
It didn't come in trying to do cheap shows.
365
It was sort of like a shock and awe campaign.
366
That was, I think, important for what Netflix was trying to do, which was not necessarily to get people to watch House of Cards but subscribe to the service.
367
That's how they win.
368
Streamers needed to offer something that broadcast and cable couldn't.
369
Something that played to their specific strengths.
370
They had venture capital to pay for stars.
371
They had algorithmic recommendations to reach more specific audiences and connect them to a more diverse array of creators and stories.
372
But most importantly, they weren't confined to an airtime.
373
They didn't need to worry about people missing an episode, or filling a time slot, or building in an ad break.
374
And that's really the big difference.
375
One is about trying to get people to watch specific shows at certain times so that you can sell their attention.
376
And the other is about getting people to pay for your service month after month.
377
Watching a television show in the same way that they would read a book.

You know, I have some spare time on Monday, I will watch an hour.
379
I have more spare time on Wednesday, I will watch two episodes.
380
Part of why maybe the storytelling I think does feel substantially different to audiences is, you know, those are very different.
381
That's a different mode of production.
382
And this different mode of production, big stars, small seasons, driven by plot, is only becoming more dominant as traditional broadcasters and cable networks launch their own platforms.
383
And I pay for more streaming subscriptions.
384
Because honestly, I think this is a good thing.
385
At least for storytelling.
386
It turns out you get better stories if writers aren't building the plane as they fly up.
387
But this has also really clarified what I miss about the pre-streaming era.
388
I miss when shows weren't so polished.
389
Even today's fangirl-friendly shows are adaptations.
390
The story is already written.
391
But TV used to be filled with dropped storylines and forgotten characters, the types of stuff that like fandoms could explore without consequence.
392
For long-running shows, writers would break the procedural format for just one episode to do something weird and fun.
393
A musical, a fourth wall break, a live show, a love letter to television as this unique and distinct medium.
394
So I guess the reason why TV doesn't hit the same way it used to is just because it isn't the same.
395
The fancy academic way that we could put it is, well, if you change the mode of production, you change what can be made.
396
And if you change what is made, you change the culture.
397
It's kind of weird knowing that the thing I loved about old TV shows was definitely a bug, not a feature.
398
Broadcast television was just trying to compete with cable, but they had way more airtime to fill.
399
space for things to get a little weird, and incentive to make dramatic choices that don't really have any other purpose than getting people to watch the next season.
400
Streaming has made it possible to tell stories in a new way and therefore tell new sorts of stories, ones that are way more precise and for audiences that are
401
so specific that you could only reach enough of them if you have an algorithm.
402
That's not a bad thing, it's just a different thing.
403
And I'll always have my DVDs and my completely unrelated hard drive, But I think it's time for me to stop focusing on the past, because it's getting in the way of me appreciating the present,
404
and all the ways TV is evolving.
405
What stories can only be told in this world, in this culture, with this technology?
406
I don't fully know yet, because there is a lot of them.
407
But I can't wait to find out.

O que você vai aprender
Nesse vídeo, você desenvolve três habilidades práticas para falar inglês com mais fluência: primeiramente, a capacidade de seguir uma conversa informal com trocas rápidas e perguntas retóricas, essencial para prática de conversação em inglês. Em segundo lugar, como expressar opiniões pessoais de forma natural, usando frases como "My problem with... isn't the cost" (Meu problema com... não é o custo). E por fim, a arte de narrar memórias com detalhes, como a história da Netflix no Nintendo Wii, o que ajuda a estruturar falas mais longas. Tudo isso com um toque coloquial que faz você se sentir como um nativo!
Ouça atentamente esses sons
A fala do vídeo é repleta de conexões e reduções típicas do inglês falado. Observe como "How much do you spend" vira "How much d'you spend" (com a redução de "do you" para "d'you"), e "I don't know" se torna "I dunno" (uma forma informal muito comum). Outro exemplo é "it doesn't feel like home" — a palavra "doesn't" é reduzida para "doesn't" (com a sílaba fraca em "n't"). Essas conexões fazem a fala fluir mais, e dominá-las é chave para melhorar a pronúncia em inglês. Não se preocupe se demorar para capturar tudo de primeira; com prática, você vai notar cada detalhe!
Fale como um nativo: ritmo e ênfase
Para imitar o ritmo do falante, preste atenção nas palavras que ele enfatiza. Por exemplo, em "I don't really care about the money", as palavras "don't", "really" e "money" recebem mais força, o que transmite emoção. Use o shadow speak: reproduza a fala imediatamente após o vídeo, tentando igualar o tom e a velocidade. Isso ajuda a treinar o ouvido e a boca a se adaptarem ao fluxo natural. Lembre-se: o shadowing em inglês é uma técnica comprovada para melhorar a fluência — e com um shadowing site, você pode praticar a qualquer hora. Comece com trechos curtos, como a parte sobre o Nintendo Wii, e vá aumentando o tempo. Você vai notar que sua pronúncia e confiança vão melhorando a cada sessão!
Gramática neste vídeo
As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:
| Estrutura | No vídeo |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — uma ação que começou antes e continua | I've been using · has been making · They've been sponsoring |
| “Used to” used to + verbo — um hábito ou estado do passado que não é mais verdade | used to have · used to be · used to is |
| Voz passiva be + particípio passado — o foco está no que acontece, não em quem faz | were made · being overwhelmed · was made |
| Present perfect have/has + particípio passado — uma ação passada que ainda importa agora | You've already made · have made · haven't spent |
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
