This week, we’re doing a shadowing challenge using President Trump’s AI-generated video (yes, he posted that 🤣). I added both English and Portuguese subtitles to make it easier to follow along. You’ll also find the script attached below. Feel free to print it or write the lines down on a piece of paper before you start recording. Your challenge: ✅ Record all of Trump’s lines throughout the video. ✅ Then, choose ONE patient (Patient 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6) and record all of that patient’s lines as well. Your goal is to imitate the speaker as closely as possible. Pay attention to: - Pronunciation - Intonation - Rhythm - Emotion Before you record, listen to my example audio so you know exactly what I’m looking for. I personally chose Patient 3. When you’re finished, upload your recording here, and I’ll personally give you feedback on your pronunciation, intonation, rhythm, and overall delivery. I’m excited to hear your recordings! 🇺🇸🎙️

Welcome to The Common Room! Let's get to know each other! Tell us: 🌍 Where are you from? 📍 Where do you live now? (if different) 🎯 What's one thing you're passionate about? Feel free to reply to other members and start a conversation. You never know who you might have something in common with. And don't forget to answer today's poll! 👇 What best describes you?

Every week, I’ll post a short text for you to read out loud and record yourself. This is one of the best ways to improve your pronunciation because it helps you notice your mistakes and track your progress over time. Here’s how it works: 1. Read the text out loud and record yourself. Don’t overthink it; just do your best! 2. Upload your recording in the comments so you can get personalized feedback. 3. Only after you’ve recorded yourself, listen to my audio. Think of it as an answer key. Compare your pronunciation, rhythm, stress, and intonation with mine. 💡 Pro tip: Save your recording! In 3 or 4 weeks, record yourself reading the exact same text again. You’ll be surprised by how much you’ve improved.

Welcome to the Pronunciation Corner! This is the place to ask any pronunciation questions you have. If you’ve ever wondered, “How do I actually say this word?” or “Why doesn’t this sound like it’s spelled?” I also encourage our native English speakers to join the conversation and help answer questions, share tips, and give feedback. The more perspectives you get, the better! To get us started, here are a few words that many Brazilians struggle with because the pronunciation is very different from the spelling: - queue (line) - aisle - muscle - bomb - calm - plumber Feel free to add any words you’ve always had trouble pronouncing, and let’s practice together! 🎉

I finally created this community. Something I have been thinking about for months; now, it’s here. That is my win and you guys coming along this journey will be my victory 💪
