NEW YEAR'S EVE Trailer 2011 - Official Trailer 2 [HD]

A good film for the Holidays Seasons, specially it is about new years eve night and all the hope we usually have that after midnight, a great year is coming up! From the same director of Valentine´s day. I like the casting, many good actors and actresses, Bon Jovi and stories that cross over all the time.

Tomica Jet Everett Turbo Loft Cars 2 from Tomy Takara Toys Disney Pixar ...

Meu bebê tem 2 anos e ama os Carros, da Pixar. Faz um tempo que descobrimos esse canal, o Disney Collector BR, que infelizmente acho que acabou e não foi mais atualizado, mas tem bastante material disponível. Eles tem vídeos sobre vários brinquedos, claro que o Miguel só vê os Carros. O legal é que ele assiste aos vídeos em inglês com o maior interesse e já aprendeu que o nome do guincho Mate é Tow Mater...vídeos são ótimos para estimular seu filho a ouvir inglês. Isso faz com que futuramente o seu filho não tenha dificuldades com o idioma.

Christmas Recipes : Salmon Salad Nicoise (Part 1) - Gordon Ramsay

Mais uma receita em vídeo do super chef Gordon (I love him). Will watch it and try the recipe?

Clip: Cars - Sheryl Crow

Música é uma das melhores maneiras de aprender vocabulário e pronúncia. O meu bebê AMA o filme Carros e para ser sincera eu não dava muita bola e achava um exagero ver coisas dos Carros em tudo que é loja, mas realmente o filme contagia. Eu não aguentava passar da cena de abertura, com uma corrida, achava muito barulhento e tal. Mas, depois, o McQueen vai para a cidade Radiator Springs, na Rota 66, que pretendo visitar com minha família e adoro aquele visual anos 50 da Cidade, o deserto, bem sem contar que a música tema é cantada pela linda Sheryl Crow e tem uma super guitarra. Rock and Roll!

So, here is the clip for the week, dedicated to my baby, Miguel!

Lyrics:

Em    G     A     Em     G      A
I'm American made but I like Chevrolet
My momma taught me wrong from right.

I was born in the South
Sometimes I have a big mouth
When I see something that I don't like
I gotta say it.

Well, we've been driving this road for a mighty long time
Paying no mind to the signs
Well, this neighborhood's changed
It's all been rearranged
We left that team somewhere behind.

Slow down, you're gonna crash,
Baby you're a-screaming it's a blast, blast, blast
Look out babe, you've got your blinders on
Everybody's looking for a way to get real gone
Real gone.
Real gone.

But there's a new cat in town
He's got high-faded friends
Thinks he's gonna change history

You think you know him so well
Yeah you think he's so swell
But it's just a front you wait and see

Slow down, you're gonna crash,
Baby you're a-screaming it's a blast, blast, blast
Look out, you've got your blinders on
Everybody's looking for a way
To get real gone
Real gone.
Real gone.
Real gone.
Uhh.

Well you can say what you want
But you can't say it 'round here
'Cause they'll catch you and give you a whippin'

Well, I believe I was right when I said you were wrong
You didn't like the sound of that
Now, did ya?

Slow down, you're gonna crash,
Baby you're a-screaming it's a blast, blast, blast
Look out, you've got your blinders on
Everybody's looking for a way to get real gone

Well here I come and I'm so not scared,
Got my pedal to the metal, got my hands in the air
Look out, you take your blinders off
Everybody's looking for a way to get real gone
Real gone.
Real gone.
Ooh.
Real gone.
Real gone.

Maybe, Rodrigo, my husband could learn how to play this song to Miguel!

The Itsy Bitsy Spider Plays Piano with Fly Band

   
Hey Guys! How are you? It is a holiday around here today, my city anniversary!
Well, also it is a day to talk about teaching English for kids.
I want to share with you something special, my baby boy, Miguel started asking me to sing the Itsy Bitisty spider song another day and guess what! I did not know the lyric, just the version in my language, Portuguese. So, guess what again! You Tube saved me with lots of cool versions of this song. We have a cable TV that allows us to be connected with You Tube and then he watched a lot of these versions and of course, asked for repetition...

It shows me how interested in learning a language a baby can be and how we can use online resources to allow them to be in touch with a foreign language, don´t you think so?

The lyric:

The itsy bitsy spider
Went up the water spout
Down came the rain
And washed the spider out.
Out came the sun and
Dried up all the rain
And the itsy bitsy spider
Went up the spout again!

I had no idea about what "itsy bitsy" meaning would be, but as we went to the Public Library, that has a playroom for kids (fantastic, by the way), we met a Canadian-Braziliam family and when Miguel asked me to sing it again, I asked them about which meaning it would have and finally, they told me that it means: "very small, tiny".

Yeah, we can learn new vocabulary teaching Kids! Thanks, girls for the help!

Lyric and translation to Portuguese HERE

Quando seu filho deve começar a estudar inglês?

Olá! Muita gente me pergunta a idade ideal para colocar o filho para estudar inglês. Estudiosos afirmam que quanto antes a criança tiver contato com o idioma, pelo menos na linguagem oral, facilitará a vida dele para aprender de fato a língua inglesa de forma escrita no futuro e também evitará dificuldade com o sotaque. Fora, que crianças são abertas a aprender e não tem vergonha, coisa que ocorre muito na vida adulta.

Sendo assim, fiz o link com essa matéria bem interessante e perguntas comuns sobre esse tema, que a revista Crescer separou AQUI.

Hey guys, June is leaving us and July is coming up! Have you ever noticed how Americans are patriotic and the quantity of scenes where they show their flag?

So, as they celebrate their Independence next Tuesday, the clip is to celebrate the "Easy Rider" Style...

I had no idea this expression, "Easy Rider", came up from this movie I really want to watch!!! Jack Nicholson is on the film...so, enjoy your Friday and have fun with this "Easy Rider" dream and life style.

Watching clips is a good way to be in touch with English, culture and improve listening and vocabulary...

Did you like the clip? What is your suggestion to next Friday?

To Braziliam Begginers:  Oi Pessoal, o clipe de hoje vai em homenagem a Independência dos EUA, celebrada na próxima terça e o filme "Easy Rider" e essa canção é um clássico. Aproveite o clilma, tente pensar em algumas palavras que você entenda durante o clip. Assistir a clips é uma ótima maneira de treinar seu "listening" e aumentar vocabulário.

Ps: I dedicate it to Rodrigo, my love, who suggested the song and to Wadih, that has the "Easy Rider Dream"...to my uncle Nielson and our friends Jorginho and Leila, who are "Easy Riders...." already"
