00:00:00.730 --> 00:00:03.316
[english] Hey, guys! My name is
João Pedro Ribeiro

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

00:00:05.792 --> 00:00:06.992
in São Paulo, Brazil.

00:00:07.442 --> 00:00:10.422
I study journalism, I... I...

00:00:10.452 --> 00:00:15.707
work as a temp at a local,
small, TV station in Taubaté

00:00:15.707 --> 00:00:25.256
and I love the world of broadcasting,
news, journalism itself and languages.

00:00:25.470 --> 00:00:29.990
I don't... I can't really explain
why I like those, but I...

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

00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:43.660
my native language, which is portuguese,
spanish, and a little bit of italian.

00:00:43.660 --> 00:00:50.463
But english is my main focus, because
I also work as an english teacher

00:00:50.463 --> 00:00:55.735
I help people who struggle with
the english language

00:00:55.735 --> 00:01:01.935
and that's a profession,
that's a job that I love.

00:01:02.655 --> 00:01:07.528
[portuguese] I speak portuguese,
it's my mother tongue,

00:01:07.552 --> 00:01:11.662
and I like portuguese a lot,
all the other languages too,

00:01:11.662 --> 00:01:14.270
but I like portuguese a lot, and...

00:01:14.387 --> 00:01:17.007
since I live in the inland
region of São Paulo,

00:01:17.138 --> 00:01:20.228
I've lived in the south
region of Minas Gerais too, I...

00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:25.636
I have a slight accent from these places.

00:01:25.714 --> 00:01:30.644
It's not like the people from
the city of São Paulo,

00:01:30.644 --> 00:01:32.444
that say 'porrta' (trill 'r').

00:01:32.637 --> 00:01:34.897
This, for us here in Campos do Jordão,

00:01:34.897 --> 00:01:39.757
is something unnatural, you don't
hear many people speaking this way

00:01:39.984 --> 00:01:41.509
here in Campos and Taubaté

00:01:42.139 --> 00:01:44.009
but, uh...

00:01:44.099 --> 00:01:47.039
here we say 'porta' (retroflex 'r'), and...

00:01:47.160 --> 00:01:51.000
and we also 'eat' a lot the
final syllables of words, like:

00:01:51.158 --> 00:01:54.338
'por-de casa', 'por-do quarto'

00:01:55.826 --> 00:01:57.098
there are other examples,

00:01:57.098 --> 00:01:59.995
I don't remember them now,
but there surely are more.

00:02:00.075 --> 00:02:01.355
Anyway...

00:02:02.175 --> 00:02:07.355
I really like portuguese, and... that's it!

00:02:07.838 --> 00:02:10.647
[spanish] I speak a little bit
of spanish too

00:02:10.647 --> 00:02:16.507
I learned, and I did not study it
like I studied english

00:02:16.507 --> 00:02:19.755
but, [he repeats] I didn't study it
like I studied english

00:02:19.755 --> 00:02:25.495
but I have the opportunity
to practice it with friends of Argentina.

00:02:25.501 --> 00:02:30.311
I wish that, hopefully,
someday I'll go to Argentina...

00:02:30.464 --> 00:02:32.254
and soon.

00:02:32.496 --> 00:02:39.536
But... it's a language that I kind of
learned by immersion.

00:02:39.931 --> 00:02:46.551
Even if I never went to Argentina,
it's something I always use with friends,

00:02:46.551 --> 00:02:49.981
with the people I know from Argentina.

00:02:49.981 --> 00:02:53.351
I have friends from
Buenos Aires, and Mar del Plata.

00:02:53.708 --> 00:02:58.628
And also, since I like journalism,
I've always been

00:02:59.466 --> 00:03:08.046
sort of paying attention to the
media of Argentina

00:03:08.581 --> 00:03:14.811
and that's a thing I like, you know?
It's a way of practicing the languages

00:03:14.857 --> 00:03:19.089
that one speaks, that one knows,
and that's it.

00:03:19.429 --> 00:03:26.149
The only thing I wanted to say is that
I'm tired of staying in Brazil for so long

00:03:26.211 --> 00:03:33.124
I never left Brazil, and I hope that
I may leave Brazil,

00:03:33.124 --> 00:03:35.024
not to leave forever,

00:03:35.024 --> 00:03:38.984
but that I may travel abroad,

00:03:38.984 --> 00:03:41.356
and that's what I hope.

00:03:41.595 --> 00:03:44.875
Very well! That's pretty much all.

00:03:45.125 --> 00:03:47.635
Thanks for watching this video,

00:03:47.916 --> 00:03:50.376
it makes me really happy.

00:03:50.653 --> 00:03:53.303
[english] Thanks for watching this video

00:03:53.343 --> 00:03:56.503
[portuguese] and thank you for watching!
