English you can feel, not just memorize.

Today, we are learning how to introduce ourselves.
6
Now, not in a basic way.
7
Not just your name or your job.
8
Today, we will learn how to introduce the deeper parts of ourselves.
9
If you are intermediate or advanced, then this episode is for you.
10
Follow along with me, speak out loud, pause when you need to, and comment your answers.
11
I'll read them all.
12
And shout out to my top commenters on my last video from Uzbekistan, Brazil, and Bangladesh.
13
Thank you as always for being here.
14
Thank you for your support.
15
So, who am I?
16
Today I want to introduce myself to you.
17
Not just my name, but my story.
18
My name is Tiana Ortiz.
19
That is the name I was given.
20
But it's not the whole story.
21
I am someone who has lived between cultures, between places that both feel like home.
22
I don't just want to introduce myself, I want to tell you what shaped me.
23
First things first.
24
My name, Tiana, means the most beautiful flower, according to my parents.
25
I'm not so sure about it, but I know it is of Aztec origin.
26
I was born in the United States, Nebraska, and that is where my life started.
27
But of course, a home is not always permanent.
28
When I was eight years old, my dad was deported back to Mexico.
29
So everything changed.
30
My life turned upside down.
31
And I think that moment taught me a lot about loss, adaptation, and resilience.
32
It taught me how fast life can change.
33
how strong we are deep down and how capable we are of adapting to change.
34
Now, when you introduce yourself, you can ask, where am I from and what formed me?
35
What experience changed you?
36
What moment made you grow up faster?
37
What place in the world taught you who you are?
38
Tell me about it.
39
Write it down in the comments.
40
I attended a bilingual school.
41
They taught English and Spanish.
42
Not very good Spanish, but nevertheless, they taught me something.
43
All the basics that I would need to survive, basically.
44
My sister wasn't so lucky.
45
She didn't know any Spanish when we arrived, and my sister entered into middle school.
46
And that's a rough year to enter a new school.
47
Now add on the pressure of not knowing your classmates' language.
48
It was difficult for her.
49
But I feel especially sympathetic for my sister.
50
I was able to pick up the language pretty quick.
51
Since I was eight years old, it came naturally.
52
But at the beginning, it was difficult.
53
Don't get me wrong.
54
I definitely struggled making friends and relating to people at first.
55
I went through all of elementary school, middle school, and high school in Mexico.
56
But I did not go to university.
57
I learned through experiences, through making mistakes, through work, and through lots of curiosity.
58
Curiosity for the world in general.
59
I traveled a lot and I learned that education does not only live in a classroom,
60
but it lives in conversations, in travel, in culture, in failing but trying again, in stepping out of your comfort zone.
61
Something I learned to do was to be inspired instead of envious.
62
So now, when I feel I'm judging someone and I know I'm envious of them, I decide to feel inspired.
63
I take action on what I need in my life.
64
on what my body is telling me I need because I'm judging that
65
other person now it's your turn what's something that you've
66
learned about yourself outside of the classroom how do you learn best through structure or freedom,
67
through books or life.
68
If you did study something in school, what's something it taught you about yourself?
69
Not just about the subject.
70
What's something you learned about yourself in the classroom?
71
Let me know in the comments.
72
I'm really curious to hear your stories.
73
I work as an English teacher.
74
But that's not the full truth.
75
What I really do is make people feel safe.
76
Safe using their voice.
77
I help people feel less afraid.
78
afraid of being misunderstood.
79
I hate it when someone is learning a language and you can
80
see they're learning a language and there's always that one person who acts like they can't understand
81
what you're saying or they don't make the effort to try to understand
82
what you're saying they'll say huh what I can't understand your accent and
83
that's what I'm here to destroy that belief that maybe someone else made you think
84
being soft being patient being kind as we should
85
what you're doing is a very courageous thing to even attempt and you need to feel proud of yourself I'm here
86
to help you tune out all the people who want to discourage you.
87
Teaching is not just my job.
88
It's how I connect, how I listen, and how I have learned so many things.
89
So many.
90
Just from teaching online.
91
now ask yourself what do you really do
92
beyond your title what problem do you solve what
93
do others come to you for what kind of energy do you bring to the room.
94
Don't let those discouragers get the best of you.
95
Listen to me instead.
96
I speak English and Spanish, and I'm learning Chinese.
97
You guys know this.

Language changed my life.
99
It changed how I think, how I express emotion, how I connect with people.
100
Every language I learn teaches me a new version of myself.
101
Does this happen to you yet?
102
Maybe with another language or maybe with English.
103
Maybe the more you learn, the more you'll discover your new personality.
104
Because I feel like I have two personalities, one in English and one in Spanish, for sure.

Your turn.

How has language shaped you?

Which language feels like home and which language feels like growth?

when there's no traffic, with my headphones on, listening to my favorite songs,

stopping by small shops or markets and having quiet moments.

We all need to slow down sometimes.

It reminds me that my life doesn't need to be super productive, to be meaningful.

Por que praticar a fala com este vídeo?

Praticar a introdução pessoal em inglês é fundamental para se conectar com falantes nativos e para desenvolver suas habilidades de prática de conversação em inglês. O vídeo apresentado oferece uma abordagem que vai além do básico, incentivando você a mergulhar em aspectos mais profundos de sua identidade. Ao explorar sua própria história e experiências, você não apenas aprende a se apresentar, mas também a se conectar emocionalmente com os outros. Isso é essencial, pois os entrevistadores, amigos e colegas valorizam histórias que revelam quem você realmente é.

Vantagens da prática

  • Desenvolve sua confiança ao falar sobre si mesmo.
  • Melhora a fluência ao articular pensamentos complexos.
  • Ajuda a entender como a cultura forma a identidade linguística.

Participar ativamente, pausando o vídeo e repetindo as falas em voz alta, poderá aumentar ainda mais suas habilidades de shadowing em inglês. Essa técnica, conhecida como shadowspeak, é uma maneira eficaz de aprimorar sua pronúncia e entonação.

Gramática e expressões em contexto

No vídeo, a apresentadora usa estruturas que são comuns e muito úteis em conversas informais. Vamos analisar três expressões chave:

  • "Not just my name, but my story." - Esta frase destaca a importância de compartilhar mais do que informações básicas, abrindo espaço para diálogos mais ricos.
  • "What experience changed you?" - Uma pergunta reflexiva que fomenta uma troca significativa de experiências.
  • "I was able to pick up the language pretty quick." - A utilização do phrasal verb “pick up” é uma maneira natural de descrever o aprendizado de uma nova habilidade.

Essas estruturas ajudam a manter a conversa fluida e envolvente, sendo essenciais para quem busca se destacar na prática de conversação em inglês.

Armadilhas comuns de pronúncia

Aprender a pronunciar certas palavras e expressões pode ser desafiador. No vídeo, alguns termos podem causar confusão em relação à pronúncia, tais como:

  • "Resilience" - A pronúncia correta é [rɪˈzɪl.jəns], onde o 'z' pode ser confundido com um 's' em algumas regiões.
  • "Adaptation" - Muitas pessoas tendem a acentuar a última sílaba, mas a ênfase correta está na penúltima: [ˌæd.æpˈteɪ.ʃən].
  • "Mexico" - O 'x' é pronunciado como 'kh' [ˈmɛk.sɪ.koʊ], o que pode ser difícil para falantes de português.

Ao praticar shadow speech, é importante prestar atenção à entonação e ritmo. Recomenda-se que os alunos utilize shadowing em inglês para reaprender essas dificuldades, repetindo e imitando a fala do locutor.

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.
