one year ago you think I was just

starting to to learn English and and I

think you as I said in the owl in our

group you were you were you was it you

were they they were the first person

that the PERS insist and it actually is

speaking English live out sorry native

English English speaker that that I work

with that’s wonderful so you’ve been

really studying English over the last

year and first of all before we talk

about your English background can you

remind me which area you live in in

Brazil yes I live in the Northeast of

Brazil is they state the name of the

state is Paraiba and I live in jumpa so

the city which won’t pass over yes and

today’s thing is pretty cloudy today

here not too hard I know this is the

kind of summer season for you

summer season yeah yes the boss when I

make now is

about 30 degrees 30 degrees

Wow here I think it’s probably close to

zero

Oh much different than in Brazil

what’s different yet yes yes actually I

tried I I get a temperature like this

when I lived in Spain and Spain I live

that’s been for for one year and four

years ago and and the city that I lived

this in the winter season and that’s

about zero degrees like like in your

city zero five degrees so you

experienced this Robbins yeah it’s very

very cold in my region there in the

winter the winter is about 20 degrees

don’t place that’s a winter yeah and

some places in the countryside some

series is about 18 degrees 17 but and

it’s certainly not freezing never snow

it’s pretty my gold in the winter is

that okay for you do you like mild

weather and hot weather or would you

rather have more seasons because you’ve

experienced that in Spain yes I well I

actually the code is I didn’t like so

much better code if they could weather

is you know I think yes you certainly

known you you have to to be rapid every

time

in the street you have to do some coat

some how can I say so a lot of clothes

yes a lot of clothes coats scarves hats

gloves all of it

yes and in when you and you enter in

some place the the places is hot is is

Herod Herod yeah so it’s hot hot inside

inside so you had you had to have to

yeah you had to take off oh yeah oh yeah

almost so helpless and then you have to

put it on again here we we don’t have

this problem for sure we with when in

this season in the summer season I we

all find we all search someplace with

air conditioning you know right air

conditioning is the priority

yeah yeah yes for example in the

university what I stood I always always

searched some place with air

conditioning for example the library

whatever it must be it must have the air

conditioning Oh

seems like when it’s 30 degrees you need

air conditioning that’s no question you

need to find somewhere cool yeah

everywhere no housing or your work place

in your car no

so so you are reading the in your

sitting - cool right he was in the your

lost city yes yes so for Christmas I was

visiting in the north my in-laws city

you’re correct and then two days ago we

came home so now I’m back home in my

house in my bed with my cats with my

food it’s a little it’s very comfortable

I like to travel but it’s nice to be

home

so I’m heroes they gifted that the

brothers then gave to to you

it’s fitting the in your cars that’s a

great question so he gave us that

electric piano for Christmas my

brother-in-law and it did fit but we had

to be really careful because we didn’t

want it to get bumped or scratched or

any problem with it so we wrapped it up

a lot with jackets and coats and clothes

and put it in our car but we forgot the

electric cord at my in-laws house so

they are sending it to us now in the

mail ok yes yes I’m really glad that you

got to see that and you saw the the big

present in our live lesson on Christmas

Eve is that when you saw that yeah I saw

that I was think he’s a very small gift

and it he was just kidding with you

yes because that box was so big I was

thinking was there a joking but that’s a

good right yes certainly a wonderful

gift that all have forever and it was so

nice to be able to share that Christmas

Eve with you and giving that live lesson

kind of just showing the house is really

fun and it sings

like you participate a lot in our

Facebook group and connect with other

members of The Fearless fluency Club and

other people in that group it’s great

you’re active yeah yeah and do you know

how to play not at all

I have never had a piano lesson

in my life so now I’m gonna start this

is one of my new year’s resolutions try

to learn to play the piano

yeah then have to give you some lessons

for you right Dan plays the piano pretty

well so maybe at the end of 2017 I’ll

show you my progress hopefully I will do

well I’m looking for some good materials

or courses or YouTube videos just like

you are doing with English I’m trying to

find that for the piano yeah yeah so I’m

gonna say I think you as you as I saw

some some videos of you you learn the

French right yes and uh well you

probably know the difficulty that we we

have learning English you know because

well actually I’ve I have watched some

videos and American youtubers then that

learned it Portuguese oh great

so they’re speaking native language yeah

great because Portuguese Portuguese is

not easy it’s not a easy language very

difficult like well maybe like Spanish

it more or less so but this is very it’s

very difficult because I accept right

now I’m I was a little nervous as I said

to you by me I was a little nervous and

some some words get a little you know

Lakhan I just I just did the don’t get

to think in English and I sometimes I I

try to thinking Portuguese translate

into English and say and it gets a

little while you know so it’s it’s very

difficult but I’m I I’m trying to think

in English in you know some Washington

some videos and watching your videos on

YouTube and watch some American

youtubers Bridger youtubers and try to

thinking in the same time I I listen you

know I well I think you were just

you weren’t understanding what I’m

trying to say yeah certainly not a fast

or easy process but you’re surrounding

yourself with English YouTube and videos

and our Facebook group and courses

you’re doing a lot yeah yeah yes in

anthem in what some some series at

Netflix Netflix actually my my daughter

love love to watch some cartoons yeah

and Netflix when I and when I put it in

in English well it’s really easy to

understand so I was watching some

cartoons in English that’s right big

great vocabulary yes yes for example I

remember I remember you because I was

watching Puss in Boots you know oh the

cat - yes yes is that funny

and I learned some some word I which my

vocabulary watching this serie and have

fun right

that’s very good very good that’s great

you’re open-minded thinking about using

even kids material who cares if it’s for

kids you’re interested it doesn’t matter

I have fun yes I think that’s that’s a

wonderful mindset just being open-minded

interested in different ideas and having

courage like today talking together you

said you felt nervous it’s a big deal

you’re speaking in English trying to

think in English and you’re doing it

it’s a great way to finish 2016 just

preparing some food some drinks for the

party maybe a part you’re gonna have a

New Year’s party tonight yes because

hearing I live in you know I live in you

know enough building like yeah it’s an

apartment and some some apartments are

planing was planning to make a party so

so we make I don’t know the name in

English but it’s like a crowdfunding

it’s like this Oh everyone sharing it

yeah yes everyone gives them some amount

of money and and they they are they are

organizing the party and in the

playground area I think in the in the

area near Bitcoin ground okay some sort

of outdoor plaza or somewhere where you

can gather together there’s a there’s a

pool and some some places well I don’t

always feel it’s common in the United

States but it is very common

some kind of common area and it’s warm

there so you can actually use the pool

yeah yes yes so the part is gonna be

there

great I think you know the family are

all here so I I think this is this will

be fun yeah you get a chance to even

meet your neighbors and talk with them

and celebrate all together that’s a

really cool community activity I’m

curious I have a final question for you

because you have been studying English

for at least one year I’m sure you’ve

done stuff before that as well but what

are some awesome tips you would give to

someone who says I really want to

improve my English and I want to be able

to speak with a native speaker like run

Elly’s doing I want to do that what’s

some advice that you might give them yes

yes to surround yourself with English as

much as you can you know because you

have to acclimate your ears with English

and in order to speak I think I think

it’s very important to understand what

what works what works

listen so if you understand and you are

be more able to speak confidently so and

just take the first step

it is very it’s not difficult to to take

the first step because you get an air

hose and block it and you have you have

to as a sudden in my video that I

sharing in our group you have to break

the barrier I have to break the barrier

because if you don’t make your bit your

barrier

and one will will break it it it’s up to

you it’s beautiful advice short surround

yourself in English listen a lot so that

you get used to hearing English and

comfortable with good grammar and

vocabulary and take the first step just

do it it’s hard but it’s step by step

it’s the best way that’s great advice

thank you for your advice and thanks
