Hey, what's up?
Ei, tudo bem?
2
Stephanie the English coach here from EnglishFullTime .com.
Aqui é a Stephanie, a professora de inglês do EnglishFullTime.com.
3
In this video, I want to talk to you about how to change your accent, given that this is something that I did in Spanish.
Neste vídeo, quero conversar com você sobre como mudar seu sotaque, já que isso é algo que eu fiz em espanhol.
4
I want to talk to you about my experience
Quero falar com você sobre a minha experiência.
5
and what worked for me because I know so many of you do not like how you sound in English.
e o que funcionou para mim, porque eu sei que muitos de vocês não gostam da forma como soam ao falar inglês.
6
I actually get DMs and emails about this all the time from people saying that they want to change their accent, reduce their accent, they don't like how they sound etc
Na verdade, eu recebo mensagens diretas e e-mails sobre isso o tempo todo de pessoas que dizem que querem mudar o sotaque, reduzir o sotaque, que não gostam do som da própria voz, entre outras coisas.
7
and i know it's a real thing i know changing your accent
e eu sei que é algo real, eu sei que mudar o seu sotaque
8
is a real desire for so many people
é um desejo real para tantas pessoas
9
and i am not here to shame you for this desire
e eu não estou aqui para envergonhar você por esse desejo
10
or tell you that it's wrong because this is exactly what i wanted
ou dizer que está errado porque isso é exatamente o que eu queria
11
when i was learning spanish and i didn't want to sound like a native speaker
quando eu estava aprendendo espanhol e não queria soar como um falante nativo
12
because that's what was marketed at me
porque foi isso que me venderam como sendo a realidade
13
and that's what i was told i should want not at all i was in high school
e foi isso que me disseram que eu deveria querer, de jeito nenhum, eu estava no ensino médio
14
when i started learning spanish and i just loved the way the language sounded
quando eu comecei a aprender espanhol e eu simplesmente amava o jeito como o idioma soava
15
and i wanted to honor the language by speaking it as well as possible
e eu queria homenagear a língua falando-a da melhor maneira possível
16
so i know there's this whole thing right now with you can't really say
então eu sei que tem toda essa coisa agora em que você não pode realmente falar
17
that you want to change your accent because your accent is your identity
que você quer mudar seu sotaque, porque o seu sotaque é a sua identidade
18
and i just don't believe that at the same time
e eu simplesmente não acredito nisso ao mesmo tempo
19
if that's true for you i'm totally okay with
se isso for verdade para você, eu estou totalmente de acordo com isso
20
that i made other videos talking about this
que eu fiz outros vídeos falando sobre isso
21
that i really recommend you watch one is an honest conversation
que eu realmente recomendo você assistir é uma conversa honesta
22
about speaking like a native i think that's what it's called
sobre falar como um nativo, eu acho que é assim que se chama
23
and the other one is the dark side of wanting to
e o outro lado é o lado sombrio de querer
24
sound like a native speaker anyways go watch those videos i
soa como um falante nativo de qualquer forma vai assistir esses vídeos eu
25
really talk about this whole issue more in depth in this video though we are past
realmente falam sobre toda essa questão com mais profundidade neste vídeo, embora já tenhamos passado do ponto.
26
that this video is for people who really want to change
que este vídeo é para pessoas que realmente querem mudar
27
how they sound in english i wanted to change how i sounded in spanish
como eles soam em inglês, eu queria mudar a forma como eu soava em espanhol
28
and i achieved it so today i want to share with you what worked for me.
e eu consegui, então hoje quero compartilhar com você o que funcionou para mim.
29
Okay, so the first thing that really helped me change my accent in Spanish was I actually went to Argentina.
Certo, então a primeira coisa que realmente me ajudou a mudar meu sotaque em espanhol foi que eu realmente fui para a Argentina.
30
And don't hate me for making this be number one
E não me odeie por ter colocado isso como o número um
31
because I know a lot of you watching are going to be like, Stephanie, there's no way I can travel to the US to fix my accent.
porque eu sei que muitos de vocês que estão assistindo vão ficar tipo, Stephanie, não tem como eu viajar para os Estados Unidos para corrigir meu sotaque.
32
Don't worry, you don't actually have to travel to another country to work on your accent.
Não se preocupe, na verdade você não precisa viajar para outro país para trabalhar no seu sotaque.
33
I'm just telling you my story right now.
Só estou contando a minha história para você agora.
34
And I did what I thought I needed to do back then.
E eu fiz o que achei que precisava fazer naquela época.
35
And knowing what I know now, I now know that it's totally possible without traveling to another country.
E sabendo o que sei agora, eu sei que é totalmente possível sem viajar para outro país.
36
But let me tell you what I learned about going to Argentina.
Mas deixe eu te contar o que aprendi sobre ir para a Argentina.
37
So I did a study abroad program with my university.
Então, eu fiz um programa de intercâmbio estudantil com a minha universidade.
38
I went to Argentina.
Eu fui para a Argentina.
39
I got super lucky in a way because my family was from Argentina.
Eu tive muita sorte de certa forma, porque a minha família era da Argentina.
40
So there was a lot of family, friends waiting for me over there.
Então, havia muita família e amigos esperando por mim lá.
41
And I really got to spend a lot of time around native speakers.
E eu realmente pude passar muito tempo convivendo com falantes nativos.
42
And that was key.
E isso foi fundamental.
43
For those of you who don't really know my story, my parents immigrated to the US from Argentina, but I did not grow up with the language.
Para aqueles de vocês que não conhecem bem a minha história, os meus pais imigraram para os EUA vindos da Argentina, mas eu não cresci ouvindo e falando o idioma.
44
I didn't grow up speaking it.
Eu não cresci falando isso.
45
I didn't grow up understanding it, not even a little bit.
Eu não cresci entendendo isso, nem um pouco.
46
So me going to Argentina was like me trying to reclaim an identity that I felt like I had lost.
Então, ir para a Argentina foi como eu tentar recuperar uma identidade que eu sentia ter perdido.
47
I really wanted to get to know the country and the culture that my parents were from.
Eu realmente queria conhecer o país e a cultura de onde meus pais vieram.
48
So anyways, I go to Argentina and all of a sudden, everyone is speaking Spanish basically the same way all around me
Então, de qualquer forma, eu vou para a Argentina e, de repente, todo mundo está falando espanhol basicamente da mesma forma ao meu redor.
49
and that was the first time something like that had happened
e essa foi a primeira vez que algo assim aconteceu
50
because when I was living in California I had a lot of friends from Mexico
porque quando eu morava na Califórnia eu tinha muitos amigos do México
51
so I was very familiar with Mexican Spanish
então eu estava muito familiarizado com o espanhol mexicano
52
but I had teachers in my university classes from Spain from Argentina from Mexico
mas eu tive professores nas minhas aulas da universidade da Espanha, da Argentina, do México
53
so my exposure to Spanish was quite varied and so I could understand the different accents more or less.
então minha exposição ao espanhol foi bastante variada e, por isso, eu conseguia entender os diferentes sotaques mais ou menos.
54
And I was, I don't know, I think I had a pretty basic to lower intermediate level in Spanish.
E eu estava, não sei, acho que eu tinha um nível de espanhol bem básico a intermediário inferior.
55
I was one of those good students that could do very well in grammar, but I couldn't speak.
Eu era um daqueles bons alunos que se saía muito bem na gramática, mas não conseguia falar.
56
And I was so shy.
E eu era tão tímido.
57
I was terrified of making mistakes.
Eu tinha medo de cometer erros.
58
So anyways, I had all this exposure to different kinds of Spanish through my classes, through traditional environments,
De qualquer forma, eu tive toda essa exposição a diferentes tipos de espanhol por meio das minhas aulas, por meio de ambientes tradicionais.
59
but I was never immersed in the same accent 24 -7 for a long period of time
mas eu nunca fiquei imerso no mesmo sotaque 24 horas por dia, 7 dias por semana, por um longo período de tempo
60
and that changed when I went to Argentina
e isso mudou quando eu fui para a Argentina
61
because suddenly I was around people who were all speaking the
porque de repente eu estava rodeado de pessoas que todas estavam falando o
62
same way with the same sounds the same intonation patterns
da mesma forma, com os mesmos sons e os mesmos padrões de entonação
63
and the same words and it was amazing
e as mesmas palavras, e foi incrível
64
and you know what ended up happening the patterns started jumping
e você sabe o que acabou acontecendo: os padrões começaram a pular
65
out at me I was like oh my gosh I keep hearing this very specific pattern
ele saiu com isso pra mim e eu fiquei tipo, "meu Deus, eu continuo ouvindo esse padrão muito específico"
66
when people are asking questions or when people are surprised or
quando as pessoas estão fazendo perguntas ou quando as pessoas estão surpresas ou
67
when people are communicating disappointment because a lot of the things
quando as pessoas estão expressando decepção porque muitas das coisas
68
that we think and feel get communicated in tone right
que pensamos e sentimos são comunicados pelo tom, certo
69
or in intonation patterns and stuff like that it's stuff
ou em padrões de entoação e coisas do tipo, é isso aí.
70
that you could never learn from a textbook
que você nunca conseguiria aprender em um livro didático
71
and it just started jumping out at me and it made it
e de repente começou a saltar para os meus olhos e isso fez com que tudo fizesse sentido
72
so easy for me to imitate and mimic and copy
tão fácil para mim imitar e copiar
73
and shadow right but I wouldn't do shadowing the way a lot of you learn shadowing
e shadow right, mas eu não faria shadowing da maneira como muitos de vocês aprendem shadowing.
74
and do shadowing I was just listening and obsessively studying how people were speaking.
e praticava shadowing, eu só ficava ouvindo e estudando obsessivamente como as pessoas estavam falando.
75
And I was open to modifying the way that I speak.
E eu estava aberto a modificar a maneira como eu falo.
76
What happens to a lot of people
O que acontece com muita gente
77
is they're not really trying to change how they speak so
é que eles não estão realmente tentando mudar a forma como falam, então
78
when they listen they're just hearing the message and replying
quando eles ouvem, eles estão apenas ouvindo a mensagem e respondendo
79
and moving on i didn't do that i was observing
e seguindo em frente, eu não fiz isso, eu estava observando
80
and i was obsessing
e eu estava obcecado
81
and i was listening for every single detail i was studying the way people would move their mouths
e eu estava prestando atenção em cada detalhe, eu estava estudando a forma como as pessoas moviam a boca.
82
and i would imitate that
e eu imitaria isso
83
and i usually would imitate it quietly like under my breath like you could barely hear me
e eu geralmente imitava isso em voz baixa, como se estivesse sussurrando, de um jeito que você mal conseguia me ouvir
84
because i was just trying to train my tongue to get the right positioning
porque eu só estava tentando treinar minha língua para encontrar a posição correta
85
and then I would do it in my head like I would just listen listen I'd practice in my head
e então eu fazia isso na minha cabeça, tipo eu só ouvia, ouvia, eu praticava na minha cabeça
86
and then I would do it very quietly I was never very loud
e então eu fazia isso bem quieto, eu nunca era muito barulhento
87
and I never practiced for hours and hours
e eu nunca pratiquei por horas e horas
88
and hours I spent a lot of time listening in fact
e eu passei muitas horas ouvindo, na verdade
89
I ended up spending a few years in Argentina that's another story for another time
Acabei passando alguns anos na Argentina — isso é outra história para outra hora.
90
but I spent a few years in Argentina
mas eu passei alguns anos na Argentina
91
and for the first few years I was so terrified of making mistakes
e nos primeiros anos eu ficava tão apavorado com a possibilidade de cometer erros
92
that I would basically not speak unless I really had to
que eu basicamente não falava, a menos que realmente precisasse
93
and that's not good and I had to work on overcoming my confidence issues
e isso não era bom, e eu tive que trabalhar para superar meus problemas de confiança
94
and that took years but in the end because I was
e isso levou anos, mas no final, porque eu estava
95
so afraid of speaking I got really good at listening
tão com medo de falar que acabei ficando muito boa em ouvir
96
and hearing the little details in the language anyways going back to obsessing
e percebendo os pequenos detalhes na língua, de qualquer forma voltando a ficar obcecado
97
and paying attention and wanting to work on how I sounded I would practice
e prestando atenção e querendo trabalhar na forma como eu soava, eu praticava
98
and I would imitate and it felt really weird in the beginning
e eu imitava, e parecia muito estranho no começo
99
and it felt kind of fake it felt like I was pretending to be somebody
e parecia meio falso, parecia que eu estava fingindo ser outra pessoa
100
that I wasn't but I just had to push through that and it started getting easier.
que eu não estava, mas eu só tinha que seguir em frente e as coisas começaram a ficar mais fáceis.
101
Now I just want to quickly compare
Agora eu só quero comparar rapidamente
102
that to my friend who I studied abroad with
isso para o meu amigo com quem estudei no exterior
103
because she already spoke Spanish quite fluently
porque ela já falava espanhol com bastante fluência
104
and she already had sort of like her accent and she wasn't trying to change her accent.
e ela já tinha mais ou menos o sotaque dela e não estava tentando mudar o sotaque.
105
And so today when she speaks Spanish, she sounds exactly the same as you know how she sounded back then.
E então hoje, quando ela fala espanhol, ela soa exatamente igual a como ela soava naquela época.
106
She wasn't trying to modify anything.
Ela não estava tentando modificar nada.
107
She liked her accent.
Ela gostava do sotaque dela.
108
She liked the way that she spoke.
Ela gostava da maneira como ela falava.
109
And it's fine because she's able to communicate just fine.
E está tudo bem porque ela consegue se comunicar perfeitamente.
110
And her accent is part of her identity, I think, you know, because she is Mexican American.
111
So she wasn't trying to change anything.
112
She was just enjoying the new culture and exploring and connecting with people.
113
And she was not afraid to speak.
114
And I admired this so much about her because I could hear when she would make mistakes, for example.
115
And then I would think, oh my gosh, I'd be terrified if I made a mistake like that.
116
That's basic, right?
117
We can be so judgmental of our peers.
118
It's so sad and I love her so much.
119
But anyways, she was over there speaking freely and I was too afraid to speak, even though I had in many ways better grammar.
120
You know what I mean?
121
So anyways, so many stories I could tell about this phase of my life, but those are some of the things that worked for me.
122
And I just want to take a moment to say that I had no feedback during this entire process.
123
I know so many people want feedback all the time and they just feel so
124
insecure in their ability and they want somebody to just confirm that they're on the right path.
125
I totally get it.
126
When I was in Argentina, though, I had no feedback.
127
And when I would try to ask native speakers for help, or I would ask them about a certain sound or whatever, they were not able to help me in any way.
128
In fact, sometimes the explanations that they would give were quite confusing and totally missed the mark, like had nothing to do with what I was asking.
129
So I really had to train my ears.
130
And I think that is one of the biggest secrets.
131
I really worked on training my ears and I would study what was going on and I would practice.
132
And when I would say a sound or a word, I could literally hear if I was saying it the way I was used to hearing it or not.
133
So I'll give you an example because this was really cool.
134
The word estás in Spanish, you hear the Esther estas that's how many spanish speakers around
135
the world pronounce this word estas that's how i learned to pronounce it in school
136
but i could hear in argentina people were not saying estas they were not saying
137
that at all and every time i would try to say
138
that word i could hear i'm like i'm not doing what
139
they're doing they're doing something totally different what's going on
140
and it took me a little while to figure out and
141
so i would try to drill the word and i would go
142
no
143
and every time i would get to the s i'm like
144
no that's not the sound that's not what they're making that's
145
not what they're doing whatever's going on with this s it's not an s all right
146
and then one day it kind of just clicked
147
and i went eh that's eh that's
148
and i realized that's not an s it's like just air coming out of your mouth eh that's
149
and then you move into the t and rest of it
150
and and it was so cool when i finally got it
151
because it was so hard locking in
152
that sound was probably one of the hardest sounds for me in the entire language
153
but when i got it i was like that's amazing
154
because instantly my accent sounded even more argentinian
155
which is obviously what i was going for and
156
when you lock in a sound in one word when you practice with one word and drill with one word, you can lock in the sound.
157
Once you get the sound, you can then apply it everywhere else that it exists in the language
158
so then i was able to say every other s
159
that comes out like that in that way and it totally helped shape
160
and transform my accent so mastering those little sounds is really important
161
and also when i introduce myself with my name my name is stephanie
162
but in argentina nobody says stephanie they say okay they don't
163
even say stephanie right they literally kind of just jumped to my nickname, Steffi, and they call me Ehtefi.
164
So I couldn't even introduce myself the way people were saying my own name to me.
165
They're like, oh, Ehtefi, Ehtefi.
166
And I'm just like, what are they saying?
167
How do I introduce myself?
168
I want to say my name the way they're saying it
169
because clearly this is how it's said in this part of the world.
170
And so I practiced, I practiced, I practiced, I drilled, I tried, I failed, and then I got it.
171
And then I locked it in and then i was able to use
172
that sound everywhere and now obviously that sound is
173
so natural for me and it's just awesome the other thing
174
that i want to say about accent work is i already
175
mentioned earlier it can feel awkward it's a gradual process
176
and now looking back on my earlier videos
177
and everything i can hear how gradual the process actually was
178
because in those first six months when i was working
179
so hard on locking in the accent i can listen to those videos now
180
and I can hear that I actually sound like I'm really trying you know
181
but it's okay that's part of the process
182
and then over time I got really comfortable with the Argentinian accent
183
but I will say it got to a point where I
184
felt like okay my accent is really good I'm fooling people people think I'm from Argentina not everyone
185
but a lot of people do but I felt like I was performing
186
and I didn't want to feel like I was performing.
187
So then I decided I was going to dial it down a little bit
188
and find a comfortable middle ground between being inspired by an Argentinian accent
189
and then speaking the way my mouth kind of just wants to speak.
190
And that is the accent that I have settled on.
191
So I'm going to show you my accent now in Spanish.
192
By the way, I can imitate other accents in Spanish just for fun, like accents from Spain or Colombia,
193
Mexico, etc. But my way of speaking is definitely inspired by Argentinian Spanish, specifically the porteño accent.
194
So, let me show you real fast.
195
This is a book that I've been reading my son.
196
It's called Ruperto Detective.
197
It's a children's book, okay?
198
I just want to show you, especially for those Spanish speakers who are like, ooh, I want to hear her Spanish.
199
Here we go.
200
Una cuestión de tamaño.
201
Me llamo Ruperto Sapo.
202
Soy detective.
203
Bueno, en realidad hace solo cinco minutos que soy detective.
204
Acabo de poner un cartel que dice, sapo privado.
205
Afuera de la cueva y estoy esperando mi primer cliente.
206
Afuera hace frío.
207
Debido a mi gran inteligencia, me doy cuenta de que eso se debe a una cosa.
208
Es invierno.
209
En invierno siempre hace frío.
210
So that is how I sound in Spanish.
211
It's easier to just read from a book than speak freely at this moment
212
because I've never really spoken freely on social media and it still makes me kind of nervous.
213
So I'll work on it because I think it would be really fun to make more content in Spanish.
214
Anyhow, I am aware that when I speak in Spanish, my voice does go a little bit deeper and I find it fascinating.
215
Many people have pointed it out to me and I hear it too.
216
And I think one of the reasons this might be is because when I was learning Spanish, my husband was one of my role models.
217
He was someone I was around all the time
218
and I would listen to how he spoke Spanish
219
and i would imitate it so i possibly you know grabbed
220
that deeper sounding voice from listening to him i'm not sure
221
anyways i could make my voice a little higher i don't
222
really like it as much i don't think let's try it
223
a little bit actually i've never done this before i'll just read a little bit
224
and i'll try to make my pitch a little bit higher
225
and you tell me which one sounds better Me llamo Ruperto Sapo.
226
Soy detective.
227
Bueno, en realidad hace solo cinco minutos que soy detective.
228
Acabo de poner un cartel que dice, Sapo privado, afuera de la cueva, y estoy esperando mi primer cliente.
229
Afuera hace frío.
230
Debido a mi gran inteligencia, me doy cuenta de que eso se debe a una cosa.
231
Es invierno.
232
En invierno siempre hace frío so there you can hear
233
that my voice is a little bit higher
234
and I don't think it sounds bad
235
so I guess let me know in the comments
236
which one you think sounds better
237
and then I will just speak you know whatever way I like however I'm comfortable
238
but isn't that cool that we can change
239
and manipulate what we do with our mouths right here in
240
this video I'm talking about how to change your accent
241
and the one thing I want you to know and believe is
242
that your mouth is an incredible instrument you can change
243
and shape how sound comes out of it this is exactly
244
what singers do this is exactly what actors do it's 100
245
% possible you just have to know what you're trying to accomplish because
246
that will make the process a whole lot easier anyhow
247
so that's it it was very simple i was around spanish
248
all the time i obsessed over the pronunciation i drilled the things
249
that were hard i practiced and over time my accent changed
250
and it improved i don't know if that's what you were expecting
251
or coming for i hope i did not disappoint with this video please let me know
252
if you have questions about how to change your accent
253
because i do want to make a part two
254
and in the next video i want to give you really specific tips and strategies
255
that you can use to shape how you sound i did
256
it all on my own obviously i was winging it it took me a long time to figure things out
257
and i really believe that we can make it faster
258
and easier for you because i've learned a lot since then like i now know
259
that you don't have to go to a foreign country to pick up the accent that is used there.
260
Anyways, that is it.
261
I hope you enjoyed this video.
262
Please leave me some feedback in the comments.
263
I love reading your comments.
264
I want to know what you think about this.
265
And if you haven't heard me talk about this yet, I just want to let you know
266
that I now run an online community for intermediate to advanced English language learners where we practice
267
and use English every single day.
268
And my goal is to really help you become confident
269
and articulate in English i've been running this community now for almost a year
270
but i haven't really talked about it a lot
271
because i've been testing so many things in the background
272
but it's growing and it's so amazing
273
and i can't wait for you to check it out
274
and i hope you will consider joining us inside i'm sure
e espero que você considere se juntar a nós lá dentro, tenho certeza.
275
i'll tell you more about it in another video okay that's all for now and i'll see you in part two
Vou contar mais sobre isso em outro vídeo, certo? Por enquanto é só e nos vemos na parte dois.

Pronúncia para ficar de olho
O falante usa 68 contrações e formas reduzidas, como I'm, don't, they're. Diga-as na forma curta, do jeito que você ouve.
- Os sons de “sh” e “zh”: shadow /ˈʃædəʊ̯/, exposure /ɪkˈspəʊ.ʒə(ɹ)/, gosh /ɡɑːʃ/, explanation /ˌɛkspləˈneɪʃən/, accomplish /əˈkɑm.plɪʃ/

Sons difíceis para falantes de português:
- Consoante final — sem acrescentar um “i” depois: accent /ækˈsɛnt/, feedback /ˈfiːdˌbæk/, communicate /kəˈmjuːnɪkeɪt/, abroad /əˈbɹɔːd/, intermediate /ɪn.tə(ɹ)ˈmi.di.ət/
- /l/ final — a língua toca o céu da boca, não vira “u”: drill /dɹɪl/, gradual /ˈɡɹæd͡ʒuəl/, cartel /kɑɹˈtɛl/, settle /ˈsɛtəl/, dial /ˈdaɪ.əl/
- /h/ — um sopro suave, diferente do “r”: hace /heɪs/, anyhow /ˈɛn.i.haʊ/

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.
