  • Accent Over Me - Ep4 - Why English is difficult
    Apr 23 2021

    I don't know about you but I think that English is a difficult language to learn. Based on that, I asked some Brazilian friends about their difficulties to learn the language and I tried to find on the internet how they can suffer a little bit less during this process. Hit the play button and let's learn together!

    Tips that I talked during the episode:

    Improve your speaking with yourself

    Rules to use have/has been

  • Accent Over Me - Ep3 - Slang
    Apr 8 2021

    Slang words are not in the dictionary. You just find it talking to people. But you can be fluent in a particular language and don't understand some words that somebody just made up. I didn't have so much luck look for them on the internet. So, I ask my husband, who is American, to help us to understand it a little bit closer. Come with me to welcome Aaron and let's learn together!
