BOLLYWOOD

2009-04-22T10:53:00.000-07:00

Do you know Bollywood?

One of the biggest film industries in the world is not as famous as Hollywood.

Bollywood is the connection between the most well known American film industry Hollywood and the name of the city of Mumbai. If you want take a look at the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumbai.

The movies are big productions, with special effects and a lot of dancing. Usually the story is about Indian culture, but some of them show American culture as well. Recent shown at Record television the movie "The Guru" is one example of Bollywood Movies. Take a look http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zImEEGd4i7s.

If you study with the Interchange Third Edition coursebook, take a look in the book 3B unit 14 page 97 , there you can find an article about this Film Industry!

Hope you like it!

Developing a good Project!

2009-03-28T07:12:00.000-07:00

Hello my friends,
I would like to share with all of you that I'm thinking about developing a project with a friend of mine, a north american friend who lives in Alabama, USA.
We are thinking about making a blog or site, where we could have native speakers of Portuguese and English, we would teach by videos and audios...
We are trying to do this, if we succeed, you are gonna have one more place to practice and improve your English and Portuguese!
I hope you like the idea!
See y'all!!!!!

Dalai Lama-Words of Wisdom!

2009-03-01T11:51:00.000-08:00

People, I'm back to leave a message for all of you!!!

I really love to read Dalai Lama, and I got one of his texts to show for y'all!!!

I hope you like!!

"We have bigger houses

and smaller families;

more convenience, but less time.

We have degrees, but less sense;

more knowledge, but less judgement;

more experts, but more problems;

more medicine, but less healthiness.

We have been all the way to

the moon and back, but have trouble

crossing the street to

meet the new neighbour.

We built more computers to hold more information

to produce more copies than ever,

but have less communication.

We have become long on quantity,

but short on quality.

These are times of fast foods,

and slow digestion;

tall man and short character;

steep profits, and shallow relationships.

It is a time when there is much in the window,

and nothing in the room."

- The XIVth Dalai Lama

Where Is The Love??

2008-12-15T04:26:00.000-08:00

Do you know Black Eyed Peas??

I think so!

The Image beside as you can see is an exclamation point!!

This point brings the question " Where is the love?" that is one of the songs of this group!

The song " Where is the love?" it's really interesting and pretty good for English students, cause in this song we can see many examples of slang, and it's a critical song, the meaning is wonderful, you are gonna learn not just more words, but you will think about what is happening nowadays in our world!

I put this image in the blog to protest!!And make people think about our society!!

" Ask yourself, where is the love?"

If you wanna see the lyric of this song , please access:

http://www.lyrics007.com/Black%20Eyed%20Peas%20Lyrics/Where%20Is%20The%20Love%20Lyrics.html

If you don't have this song, please download here:

2008-09-26T11:37:00.000-07:00

Hello again,

Today we're gonna talk about some other tips to improve our English skills.
Take a look:
If you wanna be a fluent speaker, first you have to understand the language.
Listen, listen, listen...that is the secret.
Try to listen, music, podcast, watch movies, American TV programs, and other things more.
I always buy a magazine called " Speak Up", it's a great magazine, you have the articles in CD, to listen all when you want.
At first we have to achieve perfection in our listening. After, try to speak as much as we can, don't matter if you don't have anyone to practice with. Try to speak alone. Read texts, and practice the pronunciation!.
If you wanna speak this language, you have to work, to study hard.
When I say " work or study hard" I mean:

Listen music.
Watch movies.
Read books.
Write somethings.
Play games.

It's just a fun way to learn!
I hope you enjoy it!
See ya!

Slang and Expressions!

2008-09-07T10:18:00.000-07:00

Well, What's up everybody?
Hello again people!
Well, in this post I'll talk about the importance of the slang and expressions in English!
Have you ever used some slang before??
Oh, I think so!
We use slang everyday in our language, and expressions too!
To be a fluent speaker, you have to know the formal English and the informal English, for sure that some words you have just to know, but you cannot use them, I mean, it's better don't use them, these kind of words are called " bad words".
(Later I'll explain more about the "bad words")

I'm gonna post some slang and expressions:

My bad (foi mal)
Hit on (dar em cima)
Cool (legal)
What's up? (como vai?, e ai?)
Take care (se cuida)
Take it easy (pega leve)
I Think so (acho que sim)
See ya (te vejo)
See y'all(vejo vocês)...

There are many other slang and expressions that I'll talk about on the next posts!

Now some abbreviations you can use on the messenger:

JK= Just Kidding
IDK= I Don't Know
W/O= Without
W/=With
LOL= Laugh So Loud

I'm learning many slang, and new words that are common in USA with my friend Jessica Braz, she lived in USA for a long time, and she's teaching me many things in English, and I'll share with you people!

Thanks Jessica for all your help!
I'll never forget you my wonderful sister!

I hope you like it!
See y'all!

2008-08-26T15:28:00.000-07:00

The Technology today is one of the best ways to help you improve your English.
If you have a Pen Drive (USA= Flash Drive), you can carry all your English files in your pocket, and the computer helps too much too.
E.g: you can make presentations on PowerPoint, you can write texts in English, you can have programs to help you get better in it, you can listen many things in this language all the time with an MP3, Cell Phone or an iPod and many other things.
And I'm always looking for websites.
I'm gonna put here some sites that I use, take a look:

http://www.youtube.com
(An amazing site to take videos, and study with Native people, and to find music videos too, you will love)

http://www.englishexperts.com.br
(The best place for who wants to get better in this new language)

http://www.bbc.co.uk
(Wonderful place to listen radio, to get tips, for teachers and students)

http://www.google.com
(You can put all your doubts here, you will find all the answers)

http://www.4shared.com
(Here you can find English files, and you can share too)

You will find many other sites on English Experts.

I'll post some more later.

Have a nice day! See you next time, or post...

Skills

2008-08-26T14:58:00.000-07:00

Hello again,

Today I'm gonna give some more important tips.
When we start to learn a new language we have to follow some steps, we have 4 skills to improve, like:

1.Reading
(Read and try to understand the words without search on the dictionary, try to guess the meaning if you don't know the word, if you really need to look on the dictionary, you can take a look on the definition in English, and try to understand what the word means)

2.Listening
(Listen everyday musics in English, north American TV programs, news, watch movies, and try to listen English all the time, listening is one of the most important skills, you cannot learn another language if you don't get used to listen the things in this new language)

3.Writing
(Start to make a diary in English, and write everyday all the things you've done. Copy texts to get used, if you don't know how to write something, create the word, what you really want is try to think in English)

4.Speaking
(Speak as much as you can, you cannot be shy, you have to show for the people what you know, and learn what you don't know, don't care about the mistakes, cause a mistake show for you that you are learning, each mistake means that you are going to learn the right way of something, so don't be afraid to make a mistake)

The Beginning

2008-08-25T15:50:00.000-07:00

I started to learn English about 3 years ago. It was a challenge for me, cause I didn't want to learn English, but my parents told me that it was really important for me to learn it. At my first class I loved the English language, everyday I was trying to search for ways to improve it!

What you have to know is that you can't learn something, if you go to the classes and come back home and close your books and just open it on the other class, you will never learn another language like this!

You have to make this new language part of your life, try to talk as much as you can, try to read, to listen, and to write as much as you can, and keep contact with native people (people who live in an English country), I'll put some tips that I found in a wonderful site, these tips will make you get better in English, take a look at this wonderful site:

http://www.englishexperts.com.br/
