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! 🇺🇸🎙️

When I tell you I get all kinds of messages… believe me, I really do. 😂 Today, someone decided to insult me by saying: “You’re not the sharpest tool in the shed.” And honestly? It brought back a memory from when I was learning English. I used to love the song All Star (yes, the one from Shrek 🎵), and the first line goes: “Somebody once told me the world was gonna roll me, I ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed.” That sentence stayed in my head for YEARS because I could never figure out what it actually meant. Then I realized it doesn’t have a perfect translation in Portuguese. It basically means you’re not very smart, but we don’t really have one exact expression that matches it. (Or maybe we do?) 🇧🇷 If you’re Brazilian, do we have a good equivalent? Let me know in the comments! Now let’s make this fun: 👇 Comment an idiom or expression in your native language, and let the next person reply with the closest equivalent in their language. I’ll start: Filho de peixe peixinho é
