Can you spell your name?

Se você trabalhar ou viajar falando Inglês, saber soletrar é essencial, principalmente ao telefone. Imagine que você falou seu nome e a pessoa não entendeu. Ela provavelmente pedirá que você repita dizendo:
"Can you repeat, please?",
ou "Sorry?",
ou "Excuse me?", etc.
Ela pode também já pedir direto pra você soletrar seu nome: "How do you spell it?", ou "Can you spell your name, please?".

Song of week - JUST BREATHE - Anna Nalick

Essa é a música que lembro toda vez que ensino a palavra "breathe". Veja o vídeo! Tem a letra!
A pronúncia do "th" em "breathe" é a mesma em "the", "they", "there", "them" e "these", que também estão nessa música.

The Pronunciation Poem

Here is some pronunciation.
Ration never rhymes with nation,
Say prefer, but preferable,
Comfortable and vegetable.
B must not be heard in doubt,
Debt and dumb both leave it out.
In the words psychology,
Psychic, and psychiatry,
You must never sound the p.
Psychiatrist you call the man
Who cures the complex, if he can.
In architect, chi is k.
In arch it is the other way.

Tips for learning English: 1. Study more often

Dicas para aprender Inglês:
1. Estude com maior frequência.
Ao invés de fazer seu homework de uma vez só, estude um pouco todo dia. É melhor para lembrar das novas palavras aprendidas!

Scientific research published by Herman Ebbinghaus has revealed that we forget more than half of what we learn within 20 minutes. The same research reveals that information reviewed on a frequent basis is retained for much longer time. Since most English students only study the language once a week twice a week...they have more time to 'forget' things. So, instead of studying once a week for a couple of hours...study everyday even if it's only for 15 minutes. This will allow you to recall your words more easily, develop positive habits, and recall words when you need them.

Song of week - FOLDING CHAIR - Regina Spektor

I just love this song!!!!!


Come and open up your folding chair next to me
My feet are buried in the sand and there's a breeze
There's a shadow, you can't see my eyes
And the sea is just a wetter version of the skies
Let's get a silver bullet trailer and have a baby boy
I'll safety-pin his clothes all cool and you'll grafitti up his toys
I've got a perfect body, though sometimes I forget
I've got a perfect body cause my eyelashes catch my sweat
Yes, they do, they do…
Now I've been sitting on this abandoned beach for years
Waiting for the salty water to cover up my ears
But every time the tide come in to take me home
I get scared, and I'm sitting here alone
Dreaming of the dolphin song…
Maybe one day you will understand
I don't want nothing from you but to sweetly hold your hand
Till that day just please don't be so down
Don't make frowns, you silly clown
Just come and open up your folding chair next to me
My feet are buried in the sand and there's a breeze
There's a shadow, you can't see my eyes
And the waves are just a frothier version of the skies
There's a shadow, you can't see my eyes…
