hi everyone, my name is Seb and welcome back to Pra Caramba, a podcast I created to help you improve your Brazilian accent, one episode at the time.
Learning to speak a new language is a lot to do at once. I’ll never forget how distracting it was to sound nothing like what I was trying to it sound like, when I was first speaking a new language in the past. This method that I’ve been sharing with you has helped me immensely because it detaches a whole part of the language to be practiced on its own, so that you don’t have to dedicate as much energy on it later when you find yourself in a conversation. I think of it as the wax on, wax off from Karate Kid. As such, every time you start a new episode for the week, in the beginning, it might sound awkward, but keep going and as you progress through the week, you’ll see how fast you get better. This is something that really compounds over time. Finally, last week, a listener reached out to share a tip: every week, he uses the previous week’s episode to warm himself up before exercising with the current week’s episode.
if this is your first time listening, my method is very simple:i’ll say a sentence, give you some time to repeat out loud, then we’ll do that three times for each of the sentences. All the sentences are in the episode description so that you can read along. If you’re having trouble with a sentence, hit pause and repeat it as slowly as possible until you get closer, then continue the exercise. As per use, don’t forget to focus on perfecting, not on trying to be perfect. LET’S GO.

That’s it for today. As always, I recommend sticking to at least one episode per week, repeating it twice a day, back to back, everyday of the week. Let me know in the comments if you try the listener’s warm up tip and if it works for you. Thank you so much for listening, see you next time!
