Oi! Meu nome é João.
Eu trabalho em um supermercado. Eu sou caixa.
Eu começo a trabalhar às 8 da manhã. Eu termino às 5 da tarde.
Eu gosto do meu trabalho. Eu vejo muitas pessoas.
Meus colegas são legais. Nós trabalhamos juntos. Nós deixamos o supermercado limpo e arrumado.
Ao meio-dia, eu almoço. Eu como um sanduíche e uma fruta.
No fim do dia, eu estou cansado, mas feliz. Eu gosto de ler livros e andar no parque no meu tempo livre.

Soldat, Sel, Salaire: pourquoi?

Discover a powerful yet peaceful method to learn English—not by trying harder, but by quieting the mind. In this video, I explore a deeper approach to language learning that goes beyond memorizing grammar rules. Inspired by the idea of stillness and awareness, you’ll learn how to become more present, reduce mental noise, and absorb English in a more natural, confident way. Perfect for A2 to B2 learners, and ideal for anyone who wants to learn English while feeling more calm, focused, and connected. Whether you're self-studying or in a classroom, this approach will transform the way you think about language learning.
