1
Thanks so much for helping me move, Sam.
2
Yeah, of course.
3
That's when friends are full.
4
Erica?
5
Are you a hoarder?
6
No, I am not a hoarder.
7
I just have trouble getting rid of things.
8
So you want me to throw all of this away for you?
9
No, I don't want to throw it out.
10
But I don't want to move it to my new plate either.
11
You could try selling things online.
12
There's a lot of English that I don't know involved in that.
13
I could help you.
14
Okay, first step is to go to a platform for selling second hand items.
15
Secondhand is another term for used, right?
16
Exactly.
17
You're going to need to create a listing for each one of your items.
18
A listing includes the price, condition Pictures? and any other important details.
19
Let's start with this length Okay.
20
Price?
21
$1 ,000.
22
Let's try to pick reasonable prices.
23
People look for used items because they want a bargain.
24
Mm, okay.
25
$100.
26
Erica.
27
You never know.
28
One person's trash is another person's treasure.
29
Huh?
30
It means that something might be trash or useless to you, but it might be exactly what someone else is looking for.
31
I don't know if anyone is exactly looking for this, All right, I have an idea.
32
You can put $100.
33
O -B -O or best offer.
34
So it's $100, but if someone wants to suggest a different price, I'm willing to negotiate?
35
Yeah.
36
I would put $10 OBO, but that's just me.
37
Condition.
38
Beautiful.
39
Beautiful doesn't really describe the condition or state that it's in.
40
What should I say then?
41
that it's a piece of trash?
42
Um...
43
That would be more accurate.
44
But we do try to be more positive with our descriptions.
45
You could say it's well used, or in fair condition if it's not in great shape.
46
The shape is a circle.
47
A circle is a very good shape.
48
No, if something isn't in great shape, it means it's not in good condition.
49
I'll say it's in fair condition.
50
What condition do you think this is in?
51
Hmm...
52
You can tell it was used but it's in pretty good shape.
53
So I would say it's either gently or lightly used.
54
And this, my mom gave me this years ago, but I never use it because the sound of the ukulele gives me nightmares.
55
Well, if you can't even tell that it's been used, you could say it's like new,
56
or you could even say never been used.
57
Okay, I've created my listings with prices and descriptions of each item stating the condition they're in.
58
Now what?
59
Picture time!
60
All the platforms suggest uploading photos of your items to help them sell.
61
Great!
62
I love taking pictures.
63
Thank you.
64
Um...
65
They should not be selfies.
66
But if it's a selfie, everyone will see how much joy this has brought me.
67
Trust me on this.
68
Put it down.
69
Make sure it's well lit so we can see it.
70
Got it!
71
Let's try a little bit better angle so you can actually see what it is and what it looks like.
72
Alright, listings are made.
73
Photos are uploaded.
74
Now what?
75
We wait.
76
for how long?
77

Do you want to move that fan to your new apartment?
86
Good point.
87
How do I suggest $20?
88
Say, I could do $20 or how does $20 sound to you?
89
How does 20 sound to you?
90
I was hoping to spend $15.
91
But I just told them 20.
92
They're haggling with you.
93
Haggling means negotiating over a price.
94
Mm -hmm.
95
$15.
96
Seems kind of low.
97
It's up to you.
98
You can make a counter offer.
99
I think I'll counter offer $18 And how do I say I don't want to negotiate anymore?
100
You could say, $18 is my final offer.
101
Or I could do $18 and that's as low as I can go.
102
$18 is as low as I can go.
103
sold let me know when I can come pick it up My first sale!

107
They want me to professionally clean the rug?
108
I mean, they have a point.
109
Thank you.
110
Well, I don't want to go through the hassle.
111
Just tell them, "Sorry, I'm selling it as is." That means you're selling it in the current condition, just as it is.
112
Sorry, selling as is.
113
Okay, I'll take it anyway.
114
Can you mail it to me?
115
Who mails a carpet?
116
Yeah, especially when it's easier to just have them flying.
117
Well, I don't want to even think about how to package a rug for delivery.
118
write back that it's pickup only.
119
You won't deliver it or ship it.
120
Sorry again, but it's pickup only.
121
They didn't reply.
122
Probably ghosting you.
123
I thought that only happened on dating apps.
124
Nah, ghosting happens on pretty much every online app people decide they don't want to continue the conversation
125
and then instead of responding it's just easier to disappear.
126
Bye rude, and spooky.
127
but mostly rude.
128
Ooh, another buyer.
129
I see you're selling two bike locks for $15 each.
130
I'll give you $20 for both.
131
Everyone wants a discount.
132
Everyone's trying to save a buck.
133
Honestly, it's not a terrible deal though.
134
You can get rid of both at the same time and you only have to deal with one buyer.
135
But $20 is too low.
136
I know you can sweeten the deal by throwing in something else.
137
Let me see your computer.
138
How about this?
139
Let's call it $25.
140
and I'll throw in A bike seat.
141
You've got a deal.
142
you And by throwing in the bike seat, it's one less thing you have to sell.
143
Oh my goodness!
144
We actually sold my stuff!
145
Yeah, great job!
146
Now we just have to move the stuff I'm taking with me.
147
Yeah, about that.
148
Now that you have some extra money from selling all of your stuff, You can hire a professional to move you.
149
What?
150
That's not...
151
I already called them and they're on their way.
152

O que você vai aprender

Essa prática de conversação em inglês vai te ajudar a dominar frases úteis para vender itens usados online, como descrever a condição de um produto ("in fair condition") e negociar preços ("OBO - or best offer"). Além disso, você vai aprender expressões coloquiais, como "One person's trash is another person's treasure", essencial para se comunicar de forma natural em situações do cotidiano. Essas habilidades são perfeitas para quem quer aprender inglês com YouTube e aplicar o que aprende em contextos reais.

Ouça atentamente esses sons

No diálogo, observe a conexão entre palavras, como "that's when friends are full" (fique atento ao "that's when" pronunciado rapidamente, quase como "thatswhen"). Também há reduções, como "I don't want to" que vira "I don't wanna" na fala informal. Esses detalhes ajudam a melhorar a pronúncia em inglês e a entender a fala nativa com mais clareza. Pratique escutar essas ligações repetidamente para se acostumar com o ritmo natural.

Fale como um nativo

Para imitar o ritmo e a ênfase dos falantes, use o shadow speak: reproduza as frases imediatamente após ouvi-las, tentando igualar a entonação e a velocidade. Por exemplo, na frase "You could try selling things online", a ênfase está em "try" e "selling" – dê um pouco mais de força nessas palavras. Quando falar "OBO", pronuncie as letras separadamente, mas de forma rápida. Essa técnica, conhecida como shadowing, é uma das melhores formas de melhorar sua fluência. Use um shadowing site para treinar regularmente e ver os resultados rápido!

Gramática neste vídeo

As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:

EstruturaNo vídeo
Present perfect have/has + particípio passado — uma ação passada que ainda importa agorait's been · I've created · has brought
Voz passiva be + particípio passado — o foco está no que acontece, não em quem fazare made · are uploaded
Conselho com “should” should + verbo — dizer o que é uma boa ideiashould I say · should not be
Verbo + -ing enjoy, keep, stop… + -ing — verbos seguidos da forma em -ingsuggest uploading · love taking

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.
