[english] Hey, guys! My name is[br]João Pedro Ribeiro

0:00:03.316,0:00:05.792
I'm 20, I live in Campos do Jordão,

0:00:05.792,0:00:06.992
in São Paulo, Brazil.

0:00:07.442,0:00:10.422
I study journalism, I... I...

0:00:10.452,0:00:15.707
work as a temp at a local,[br]small, TV station in Taubaté

0:00:15.707,0:00:25.256
and I love the world of broadcasting,[br]news, journalism itself and languages.

0:00:25.470,0:00:29.990
I don't... I can't really explain[br]why I like those, but I...

0:00:30.320,0:00:35.760
I love english, I also speak a bunch of other languages:

0:00:35.760,0:00:43.660
my native language, which is portuguese,[br]spanish, and a little bit of italian.

0:00:43.660,0:00:50.463
But english is my main focus, because[br]I also work as an english teacher

0:00:50.463,0:00:55.735
I help people who struggle with[br]the english language

0:00:55.735,0:01:01.935
and that's a profession,[br]that's a job that I love.

0:01:02.655,0:01:07.528
[portuguese] I speak portuguese,[br]it's my mother tongue,

0:01:07.552,0:01:11.662
and I like portuguese a lot,[br]all the other languages too,

0:01:11.662,0:01:14.270
but I like portuguese a lot, and...

0:01:14.387,0:01:17.007
since I live in the inland[br]region of São Paulo,

0:01:17.138,0:01:20.228
I've lived in the south[br]region of Minas Gerais too, I...

0:01:20.359,0:01:25.636
I have a slight accent from these places.

0:01:25.714,0:01:30.644
It's not like the people from[br]the city of São Paulo,

0:01:30.644,0:01:32.444
that say 'porrta' (trill 'r').

0:01:32.637,0:01:34.897
This, for us here in Campos do Jordão,

0:01:34.897,0:01:39.757
is something unnatural, you don't[br]hear many people speaking this way

0:01:39.984,0:01:41.509
here in Campos and Taubaté

0:01:42.139,0:01:44.009
but, uh...

0:01:44.099,0:01:47.039
here we say 'porta' (retroflex 'r'), and...

0:01:47.160,0:01:51.000
and we also 'eat' a lot the[br]final syllables of words, like:

0:01:51.158,0:01:54.338
'por-de casa', 'por-do quarto'

0:01:55.826,0:01:57.098
there are other examples,

0:01:57.098,0:01:59.995
I don't remember them now,[br]but there surely are more.

0:02:00.075,0:02:01.355
Anyway...

0:02:02.175,0:02:07.355
I really like portuguese, and... that's it!

0:02:07.838,0:02:10.647
[spanish] I speak a little bit[br]of spanish too

0:02:10.647,0:02:16.507
I learned, and I did not study it[br]like I studied english

0:02:16.507,0:02:19.755
but, [he repeats] I didn't study it[br]like I studied english

0:02:19.755,0:02:25.495
but I have the opportunity[br]to practice it with friends of Argentina.

0:02:25.501,0:02:30.311
I wish that, hopefully,[br]someday I'll go to Argentina...

0:02:30.464,0:02:32.254
and soon.

0:02:32.496,0:02:39.536
But... it's a language that I kind of[br]learned by immersion.

0:02:39.931,0:02:46.551
Even if I never went to Argentina,[br]it's something I always use with friends,

0:02:46.551,0:02:49.981
with the people I know from Argentina.

0:02:49.981,0:02:53.351
I have friends from[br]Buenos Aires, and Mar del Plata.

0:02:53.708,0:02:58.628
And also, since I like journalism,[br]I've always been

0:02:59.466,0:03:08.046
sort of paying attention to the[br]media of Argentina

0:03:08.581,0:03:14.811
and that's a thing I like, you know?[br]It's a way of practicing the languages

0:03:14.857,0:03:19.089
that one speaks, that one knows,[br]and that's it.

0:03:19.429,0:03:26.149
The only thing I wanted to say is that[br]I'm tired of staying in Brazil for so long

0:03:26.211,0:03:33.124
I never left Brazil, and I hope that[br]I may leave Brazil,

0:03:33.124,0:03:35.024
not to leave forever,

0:03:35.024,0:03:38.984
but that I may travel abroad,

0:03:38.984,0:03:41.356
and that's what I hope.

0:03:41.595,0:03:44.875
Very well! That's pretty much all.

0:03:45.125,0:03:47.635
Thanks for watching this video,

0:03:47.916,0:03:50.376
it makes me really happy.

0:03:50.653,0:03:53.303
[english] Thanks for watching this video

0:03:53.343,0:03:56.503
[portuguese] and thank you for watching!
