Portuguese has started to interfere with my English. I mix them up so often. I got into the habit of switching between English and Portuguese and it makes my head hurts. There are some areas in my Portuguese that are dramatically weak such as my speaking. I use ChatGPT and text online friends everyday in Portuguese so I am always writing in Portuguese. I even lost my ability to naturally produce nasal sounds. Thats how much I do not speak or practice speaking portuguese. In my city we have a lot of brazilian spaces such as barbershops, restaurants, churrasco (not sure if I spelled that right). And the Brazilians are always happy to speak but it is a journey traveling to those spaces. I will get better with speaking soon. The bigger concern is retraining my mouth to produce nasal sounds, the NH, LH, open and closed sounds.

Interviewed At The Wrong Level. How Hiring Managers Actually Decide? Most job interview advice focuses on answers, confidence, or “speaking better English.” That’s not why experienced professionals fail interviews. This podcast is for qualified, capable professionals whose CV is strong, but whose interviews don’t reflect their real level. In this podcast, we look at interviews from the perspective that actually matters: how hiring managers evaluate trust, seniority, and readiness. We talk about: why strong professionals underperform in interviews how role and psychological state affect clarity the difference between task executors and trusted contributors how interviews become business conversations instead of exams This is not about scripts or tricks. It’s about being evaluated at the level you actually operate. If you’re experienced, international, and tired of being under-positioned in interviews — you’re in the right place. Let me know your "aha moment" from this recording.

Hi there American English language learners! How are you? Did you know pronunciation is just as important as basic grammar and vocabulary skills? Did you know that even if you have real good grammar and know a decent amount of basic vocabulary.... if your short vowel sounds are completely not pronounced well it can make you possibly sound not understandable. Which can lead to confusion and assumptions. Have you ever been taught letter sounds from someone from the United States? Did you know our vowel sounds are not like any other international country? Maybe you want to say: I went for a walk. But you end up pronouncing: I went for a work. Or maybe you want to say: I want to visit the US. But you end up pronouncing: I want to wisit the US. This can and sometimes does lead to your listener maybe not directly saying to you "I don't understand." And sure they could "Figure it out" most likely due to context of what you're saying. But really you're making your listener do more work to understand you. Becoming a fluent American English speaker is so much more than just.... learning some vocabulary...for most students they've never learned American English letter sounds. Being a fluent English speaker or C1/C2 as I would call it... is a combination of being really good at pronunciation, grammar, sentence structure and vocabulary. You don't have to be 'perfect.' but you should at least learn letter sounds. It's part of the American English language. It's a part of our language culture. It's how we are able to understand one another here in the US. It's how we here in the US are able to speak so quickly but still clearly understand one another. Because we naturally move our mouth/lips/tongue/jaw frequently when we speak. Which most international countries are not trained do to at all. So many students want to become fluent but don't realize mouth movement and letter sounds are a part of it.
