Week 7 Challenge
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbBoHLxov-E This week, we’re taking your English out into the real world! Many Brazilians struggle with the pronunciation of American states, and that’s completely normal! Some names are very different from what we would expect in Portuguese. Your challenge 🔥 Watch the video where you’ll hear the names of all50 U.S. states. Listen carefully, repeat the names out loud, and pay attention to the pronunciation. 👉 Don’t just watch, SPEAK! Pause the video if you need to and repeat the names until they feel more natural. This video is a gold mine for improving your pronunciation and getting more familiar with the geography of the United States. 🇺🇸 💬 NOW, TELL US: 1. Which U.S. state would you most like to visit, and why? 2. Which state name were you pronouncing incorrectly before watching the video? 3. If you could choose one place to live in the United States, which state would you choose and why? 🏡 Write them below and practice saying them out loud! 🎤
Well, the state if find more difficult to pronounce correctly it's name was Illionis. Maybe for the fact that you read the word and expect a determined pronounciation and when you hear it, it's completly different form what you were thinking it was. I'd like to visit someday Washington, the Grunge music cradle. I don't know much of the US states but, based in some movies, series, books and this kind of stuff , i probably would choose Maine or Louisiana. Maybe for the weather reason i could make another choice, like Florida or Miami, for example.
@Mackenzie Marino , really? So sad to hear that... Well, sometimes we imagine that when a brazilian moves to the US it will start to move around between the many states in order to know their different culture and lifestyle. But we usually forget we are speaking of large states , and most of times it may be take a long time to travel from one to another, right? Considering too the monetary aspect which can be important for the most of people, i presume.
Week 5 English Challenge

To feel like shit → "Se sentir péssimo / um lixo" Expressão informal para dizer que está se sentindo muito mal fisicamente (como de ressaca) ou emocionalmente I'm there → "Com certeza!" / "Pode contar comigo!" Usado para confirmar presença de imediato em algum plano. 🗣️ Dica de Shadowing Vídeos como esse são perfeitos para praticar Shadowing! A técnica é simples: 1. Ouça uma frase do vídeo. 2. Pause e repita em voz alta. 3. Faça isso até conseguir falar a frase com o mesmo ritmo e entonação do vídeo, quase como se estivesse falando por cima da voz dele! 🎯 Desafio da Semana O seu desafio é criar três cenários ou situações curtas da sua vida real em que você usaria cada uma das três expressões: 1.
