1
What's your level of English?
2
Let's find out.
3
In today's video, I'm going to ask you a few questions to help you figure out your level of English.
4
Are you a beginner, an intermediate, or an advanced student?
5
Here are the rules.
6
No pausing the video, no translating, and you have to answer every question in your head.
7
I'm going to ask you a few questions.
8
Each question will test a different skill.
9
For example, your grammar, your vocabulary, your listening, and how naturally you can use English.
10
For every correct answer, you get one point.
11
And at the end of the video, I'm going to reveal your final level.
12
Before we begin, this is just a short quiz, which will give you a general idea of your level.
13
If you want a longer test, you can find plenty of those on the internet, but they will take 30 to 60 minutes.
14
In the next few minutes, we're going to go through this quickly and I'm going to give you a general idea of your English level.
15
Ready?
16
Here we go.
17
Question one.
18
If I blank more time, I would learn English faster.
19
Which is correct?
20
If I had more time or if I will have more time.
21
I'll give you three seconds to figure this out.
22
The correct answer is if I had more time.
23
If I had more time, I would learn English faster.
24
This is an example of a conditional sentence.
25
Conditional sentences normally begin with the word if.
26
Let's go on to question number two.
27
Which sentence sounds natural?
28
I am waiting you or I am waiting for you.
29
The correct answer is B.
30
I am waiting for you.
31
After the verb to wait, we always need to use the preposition for.
32
I am waiting for something.
33
For you, for the train, for the bus, for something.
34
If you don't use the word for, people will still understand you but you won't sound natural.
35
So don't forget, you wait for something.
36
Question number three.
37
Choose the best word.
38
The meeting was blank because nobody prepared.
39
A. The meeting was boring.
40
B. The meeting was bored.
41
C. The meeting was boringly.
42
The correct answer is A.
43
The meeting was boring.
44
When something is boring, it makes you bored.
45
When something is tiring, it makes you tired.
46
When something is interesting, it makes you interested.
47
This is a very common mistake.
48

52
Now let's move on to question number four.
53
I'm going to say a sentence out loud, but I'm not going to show it on the screen because I want to test your listening skills.
54
Oh, and I'm also going to speak quickly.
55
Are you ready?
56
Listen carefully.
57
I don't know what you did last night.
58
Could you understand what I said?
59
I said, I don't know what you did last night.
60
I don't know becomes I don't know.
61
What you becomes what you.
62
I don't know what you did last night.
63
We also drop the T sound in last.
64
So we don't say last night.
65
We say last night, last night.
66
I don't know what you did last night.
67
I don't know what you did last night.
68
This is an example of connected speech.
69
And this is how native speakers talk in daily conversation.
70
Now, on to question number five.
71
What would a native speaker say?
72
A. I go to work every day at eight.
73
B. Every day at eight, I go to work.
74
C. Both are correct.
75
The correct answer is C.
76
Every day I go to work at 8 and I go to work every day at 8 are correct.
77
However, the meaning is slightly different.
78
When you put every day first, you emphasize the fact that this action happens every single day.
79
Every day I go to work at 8.
80
Not every week, not every month, but every day.
81
Otherwise, you could start with I go.
82
That would probably be the most normal way of saying this, because you're emphasizing the fact that you are doing the action,
83
not your friend, not your brother, not your sister, you.
84
I go to work every day at eight.
85
English is interesting in that way because you can often change the order of a sentence to emphasize different things.
86
You can also add more emphasis on your pronunciation, which has the same effect.
87
For example, if you say, I like dogs, you're emphasizing the fact that you like dogs and not cats.
88
But if you say, I like dogs, you're emphasizing the fact that you are the one who likes dogs.
89
All right, that brings us to the end of today's quiz.
90
Again, the point of this quiz was just to give you a quick overview of where you're at with your English.
91
It was not a comprehensive test.
92
If you want to find those, you can find those on the internet.
93
There are many different resources available, but those will take more time.
94
How many did you get right?
95
If you got zero or one correct, you're probably somewhere closer to the A1 level, which is totally fine, but it's a more beginner level.
96
If you got 2 to 3 correct, you're probably closer to the B1 level, which is an intermediate level.
97
And if you got 4 to 5 correct, you're probably closer to the advanced level or the C1 level.
98
Again, this result isn't totally precise, but it should give you a good overview of your current level.
99
Let me know in the comments, how many questions did you get right?
100
Which questions did you find easy and which questions did you find difficult?
101

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.
