I forgot to say before: in this thread is also forbidden to speak another languages than english. So, don't try your italian, spanish or whatever here. It could looks rude, but i'm only saying that to practice, lol.

Hey, someone knows to answer me what means that expression "LMAO"?

(26-11-2018, 12:18 AM)Senna Escreveu: The matrix is part of Real and a very special movie for me. I already watched the trilogy more than twenty times surely. I'm editing parts of matrix movies to training my English, is short videos with some minutes only with talk parts, in dual audio and dual subtitles, English and Portuguese in both. I going to create a google drive folder and to share with all you.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ss6Xyf...AvzbzthD0Q

Folder updated.

Smith, you got to learn those expressions by their own meaning, that's why I hammered on "learn english in english, not in portuguese".. I like "peace of cake" (very easy), "hold your horses" (take it easy), "I dont' follow you" (i don't understand what you mean)..

By the way LMAO stands for "laughing my ass off", which means laughing until my ass get off my body

Tx, bro.

Actually, i've realized that. There's some expressions in english that i understand what it means, but can't translate to portuguese. That's why we have to learn to think in english.

I usually listen to YT videos while i an walking to the university(or waiting for a buss depending if there are much sun or not), or playing FPS games, so i usually download a very long video and some times i start to laugh in middle of street.

One show that i particularly love to listen while play/walk/wait is Stefan Molyneux, this video in particular, he is talking about sugar daddy and is interesting. Around 2 minute, he asks if this is close to prostitution and he answer "this is prostitution" few moments later, he say that most girls that he date comes from very good families. His taste for woman apparently is very similar to my taste. He despite being 60yo, is tall(6' or 1,82m), exercise a lot and is successful. He apparently married 5 times, he also married to a Russian girl one year younger than his daughter(around 10 min)

Try listen to shows like this while you have nothing better to do. Will be better than do nothing. Much better than  a "telenovela"

By the way, here is a good book to learn the first (or most useful) 1500 words in English. I used to read this book a few times until I could learn all them.

https://www.unsv.com/voanews/specialengl...rdBook.pdf

I have another one for the 4000 words, with CDs/MP3s, if someone is interested.

I'll share with you some notes about words through tough thorough thought, though. Bellow a Gavin video explain this theme.

"It can be weird. It can be understood through tough thorough thought, though".


through - f-ru - através

tough - tóf - árduo

thorough - fo-rou - minuncioso

thought - fót - reflexões (pensar)

though - v-ôu - mas (but, mas no final da frase)

trough - tróf - coxo

Any hints to improve my pronunciation? My pronunciation is awful. I usually confound "bitch" with "beach", most native americans that i've talked can understand me, but i still fell like my pronunciation is awful and wanna improve it.

Check on youtube some channels with pronunciation videos, you need to decide if you want to learn British or American English (so you don't mix both sounds).

It will only work for few words.... Anyway, just like an "Gaucho" speaking Portuguese is completely different than an "Northeastern", English have a lot of variation on USA, an Texan talking in English is completely different than an guy from Alaska. You can say a lot from an person just by listening him. For example, Barbara4u2c have an central/eastern European accent and she said that she is from Slovenia(confirming my impression); I recommend her channel for people who wanna practice listening because she is funny, beautiful and talk slowly.



Some people say that is impossible to get rid of an accent, but Melania Trump was born in Yugoslavia and is fluent on English, French, Italian, German and Slovenian and she speaks with apparently no accent.

Speaking for myself, I'm used to british english. Whenever I'm not sure about a word's pronunciation, I use Macmillan dictionary to listen its pronunciation. Then I imitate untill it's perfectly fine.

Concerning very similar words like bitch and beach, the slightly difference is in the duration while you are pronouncing the "i" sound. The same thing happens with other words with "i" and double "ee", like ship - sheep. The sound is pretty much like this: ship (ship) - shiiiiip (sheep). Listen to Macmillan's pronunciation of these two words and you'll get the small difference.

I'm practicing the "TH" sound. It's no so easy how I did thought, because the "TH" sounds actually don't exist in Portuguese. Until little time ago I did think that pronouncing D sound or F sound I was doing correctly. Is it sounds easy to you?

Hi guys, i know i'm coming late to the party.


Just wanted to leave this app as my personal recommendation for you:
http://knudge.me/

My english improved hugely last year, to the point where i managed to watch without burden (and portuguese subtitles), movies, TV shows and Youtube videos.

Best regards.
