Hello guys! So, today, I have a special guest here.
This is Tim.
Tim! What's up, guys? How are you doing?
So, it's English time now.
Do you still know how to speak English?
I will see, I'm not sure.
I only speak to my mom in English now.
Well, so, Tim...
you're really passionate about Brazil,
so, I'd like to know, when did it all start?
Well, if you've been to New York,
you'll know that there are a lot of Brazilians there,
especially when the real is a little bit stronger.
But I've made a lot of friends there, we just like, you know...
we hang out, we go to bars and Central Park,
and different events and I just like,
kind of learn naturally.
I didn't like... take a class.
I just started learning one phrase at a time,
and, you know, if you spend like,
three months with a group of people,
you pick up a lot of phrases.
And, It's like I didn't know anything about Brazil, like...
I was one of those people, that maybe thought,
that the capital was Buenos Aires so...
But you kinda...
-And that we speak Spanish. -Speak Spanish, yeah!
You kind of like, get to know people,
and you kind of wanna speak more.
Like some of the people that didn't speak English,
so just to kind of "trocar ideias" you know...
So you basically had some Brazilian friends in New York?
Actually now I get to see them, they moved back, and I've...
I've seen a lot of them. I have seen 'em like five years,
here in São Paulo and Rio since, it's been really cool.
That's great! But have you ever studied
with a text book or something like that?
Not really...
You know, I listen to some podcast,
I listen to a lot of people that, you know,
make content for Brazilians, like Portuguese content.
I'd rather like learn from like authentic content,
but, you know...
sometimes I'll go to a site to, to like check something out,
to make sure I'm speaking correctly,
which usually I'm not but...
And which, what type of content,
do you like to watch or read?
I love YouTube. I watch a lot of YouTube.
I mean, I follow all the big Youtubers,
like Felipe Neto, Whindersson Nunes,
-Cocielo... -Do you follow me?
Of course I follow!
-I follow you. -Have you learned English?
I learn English from Carina, yes!
That' why he speaks so well.
Thank you, thank you!
No, she actually speaks better than me.
I speak a little bit of some slang,
but she speaks so much more formal so,
she would, she'd do better...
in like the work environment, and I'd do better in like the...
-I don't know, like... -"Vida loka" environment.
But, I like to... I love to learn more...
-"Vida loka" vocabulary. -But do you think you can u...
I don't think you can fake being a "vida loka".
-Are you a "vida loka"? -No, I'm not, I'm not...
I like to know, just to listen and understand.
It's not something you can turn on and off.
It's like... you are or you aren't.
But I think you are in a better place.
You've been traveling a lot in Brazil lately.
So, I'd like to know what's your favorite place here so far.
Well, of course I don't wanna make anyone angry,
and I love all the places.
-They will be angry. -They will be angry!
You know actually, I really like São Paulo.
You know, São Paulo is never...
the best reputation internationally,
but it's a really cool city to get to know,
it's really easy to get around
compared to some of the other cities, but is far...
And I haven't been to the coast yet,
the "litoral norte", the north coast so,
I need to see that to get a full description.
But I love the beaches in Rio, Floripa, Recife is nice,
the people are really friendly... So, I'm not... I'm not gonna...
-I'm not gonna do that! -Oh, c'mon!
C'mon you have to choose one place.
One of the my favorite beaches, it was this beach in Rio,
it's in Recreio, it's called Prainha.
It's a like, a natural reserved beach,
so, not that many people there, it's surrounded by mountains,
so when you're in the ocean, it's just like...
you feel like you're in a paradise.
That's one of my favorite places.
-He chose a place. -But I still...
But I still love you all so...
He loves us!
And what's your favorite food here?
I think I eat "coxinha" probably everyday.
I ate like a two kilogram of coxinha,
and I've thought I'd never eat coxinha again,
but the next day I was eating coxinha, so...
So probably coxinha, but there's a lot of good food here.
There's a lot of good likes snacks.
We don't have the good snacks that you have like:
pastel, coxinha, kibe... You have a lot of good stuff.
You don't have pastel like pastries, no?
They are different, right? They are not "fritos", fried.
We have pastries, but they're not as like common.
You can't just get them every place.
You go like to a pastry shop to get a pastry,
here you have pastel in almost every corner.
Yeah, it's delicious, I couldn't agree more.
Delicious, but not good for the stomach, though. I think.
I know, because it's fried food and it's not that good.
And you can also like get beer at every place here.
In the United States you can only get beer in like a bar,
or like a liquor store.
Sometimes the gas station, but you never gonna see.
First of all, you can't drink on the street.
Some people might not know about it, tell them about it.
You can't drink on the street. Only I think like, two cities,
I think Las Vegas and New Orleans are the only cities.
And we definitely won't drink at the gas station.
It's something weird in Brazil.
Because if you are at the gas station,
probably you're gonna drive later, so...
it shouldn't be like this. Well, they sell vodka in like...
You shouldn't drink and drive, but they sell vodka at the gas...
-That's a little.. -Yeah, that's...
I agree with you, but...
It's kinda weird that you can't drink and walk.
So, we're supposed to be like the Land Of the Free,
but we can't even have a beer and walk.
What's up with that?
-So come to Brazil... -Trump, Obama, what's going on?
So come to Brazil, that you can...
-You can drink on the street here! -Yeah, that's fun!
Put it on the post card.
In one of your recent videos, you mentioned...
a number of aspects that, in your opinion,
make Brazil better than the USA.
So, could you mention, at least, one or two of them?
Sure! First, kinda like I said the...
Well, I don't wanna say better, but the people here are really...
are really great to... They are really friendly.
I think a little bit more friendly than...
like you kinda get on a day to day with Americans.
Americans are a little more reserved.
Even I am reserved, you know, believe it or not,
but people some sometimes, they kinda...
"Oh, you're a little reserved".
Because I think Americans are a little more...
private.
You don't touch people so much?
We don't do a lot of touching.
-Not a lot of touching. -I am touching Tim...
Are you...
But, the... It was really friendly like,
You go to the "padoca", the bakery and..
you go there and the people know you.
Actually, I have to give a shout out to my...
My "amigo" at the "padaria", "saúde", shout out!
and they talk to you, and they...
you know, it's funny, it's entertaining.
So people are great, the food is great,
the weather is great, even though it rains here...
I mean, there's a lot of great things.
I think Brazil is a great country.
So is United States!
So, you should all go to visit there.
Even though, we have a little problem now.
-In the White House though. -Yeah... I know!
So, these are the good things about Brazil,
but now let's talk about the bad things about Brazil.
It's something controversial, people...
You trying to get me in trouble!
You ask me, you ask me like: what's your favorite place?
What are the bad things about Brazil...
I'm not gonna pull an Ariana Grande, ok?
Well, but we're curious as well...
because, of course I love Brazil as well,
but I know the problems and all of it.
Everybody knows the problems.
But if you could mention one or two things,
that make Brazil worse than USA...
We won't be mad at you, because we know.
-We are Brazilians, we know. -She promised.
Well, I think they have like, they have a lot in common,
but like, a lot of the problems here are like...
exacerbated, like worse. It's like,
the poverty is like worse. And more like striking like,
you see like whole families like living under the marginal, like
you wouldn't see that in United.
You'd see like maybe like a... a man or a woman,
but you wouldn't see like a whole family.
-I've seen that a couple times. -It's sad!
The roads here are like pretty bad.
Like there's a lot of puddles, like no one really...
takes care of them.
And like, I think you know, like you see a lot of like:
"gambiarras" here like when...
people things are on a actually...
If something is broken in America,
like the next day, it's like fixed.
Like some of the...
city will, or the "prefeitura" of the city will send
someone to fix it.
Here are like a lot of things just here are like...
They just like kind of make is so it's "okay",
-but not good. -Okay...
So, those are a couple of things I've noticed.
What about public transportation here?
I take the metro everywhere in Sao Paulo.
It's actually, it's actually really good.
The only problem is it doesn't have enough coverage.
It's like, you can't get to Parque Ibirapuera,
by subway.
That would be like, if you couldn't get to Central Park
by subway, in New York like...
I don't even know what would happen.
So, it's really good, really convenient,
but it needs a couple more stations.
And another question, do you feel safe here?
How do you feel about violence and everything?
Well, I think you have to be careful, but...
You get a mix, you get one person saying one thing
and the other person saying the other thing.
So, I think you kinda just have to trust your instincts.
And, you know, don't do anything too crazy.
-But.. -Like drinking and walking?
-Like drinking and walking. -This is too crazy!
-Drinking and walking... -"Vida loka!"
with your cell phone is like a bad move.
That's like "oh, I'm a gringo, please rob me."
Yeah, don't do it then.
You can always buy a new cell phone, you know.
But you can't buy a life.
You can't buy a new life!
Yet... I don't think...
Okay, so, speak Portuguese very naturally,
you don't feel like embarrassed to speak Engl...
Sorry, Portuguese...
At least you don't look embarrassedt...
So, what would you say to those who are
trying to learn English now and they feel like embarrassed,
or they don't want to speak or to expose themselves?
I mean, I think you have to, like...
First of all, you have to have a goal like,
why do you wanna learn English?
and like always like remind yourself of that goal,
and then your embarrassment should be like a very,
very small part. Like I wanna learn this goal so,
I wanna learn English so like go to Unites States.
And then, when you're practicing you're not gonna care
if this person... First of all,
most people are... If they're not nice,
they're at least polite.
So like I don't... Very rarely,
people... In Portuguese never, I've never experienced that,
but sometimes people are in a rush they don't wanna like,
try to understand what you saying,
but people usually will be, be at least polite.
So I don't really think you should be...
nervous, or be embarrassed to speak English,
but, you know, like I said, the goal has to be
the most important thing, and why do you wanna learn,
and that's gonna like kinda get you through the..
not only embarrassment, but like the times when
you don't wanna practice, you don't wanna study,
so the goal... I think having a little clear goal is a,
it's really important.
I agree! So, just to finish the video,
do you have any word, or sentence,
that you think, my subscribers
should know in English? Maybe...
-Something from your region? -Something from your region...
-Tell them where you're from. -I'm from New York and like,
If you've ever watched those like mafia movies...
I will say like "forget about it!"
You ever heard that? Like "forget about it".
Like it just like... it's means literally,
forget about it, but sometimes is just like,
when something is so good like, "oh, forget about it!"
This coxinha is so good! "Forget about it!"
Good!
You're gonna see it mostly in the mafia movies.
Watch "Donnie Brasco".
-Hey, forget about it! -Forget about it!
So, that's it Tim...
