Happy Weekend - Sambô - I Feel Good (I Got You) / Satisfaction (I Can't Get No) - Ao Vivo


I dedicate this clip to Junior, who is painting our house. He is a talented person who loves singing samba and he is in love with our SAMBÔ DVD, this is the soundtrack around here these days. It shows that Samba, Rock and English are soul mates. By the way, I love showing Braziliam singing in English around here. Did you enjoy the clip?


Tongue Twister

In Portuguese we say "trava língua". It is a good game to get kids envolved in class!
Which tongue twisters do you know?

Try to say this one 5 times!

Baia & Crazy Lady



I and Rodrigo just love Mauricio Baia. He has a song, that was made to be translated into English. It is very funny. I love to show to my students, Braziliam people speaking or singing in English. Accent is there, ok, we can  do it! Check the Portuguese version HERE

I dedicate this clip to my love, Rodrigo and hope he includes these two versions on his shows and also to my friend Costanza, as she teaches English and studies Portuguese! Have fun!

Google Chrome : Conheça os recursos do navegador



Hoje tivemos uma reunião de quase 4 horas com um super web designer, o Hugo Motta para uma parceria entre Biblio Idéias e a Domínio ID. Em breve, novidades quentes!
Mas, como hoje é dia de falar de "gadgets" e afins, aproveito para dividir com vocês que o Hugo me deu a dica para usar o Google Chrome. Alguém aí já usou? O que acha?
Ele é bem rápido, realmente e além disso, ao digitar o endereço na barra de endereço ele já faz uma pesquisa no google. Tô gostando. Esse vídeo ajuda a conhecer melhor!
Abraços!

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".

Check for yourself HERE

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

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.
