Teacher Joseph's Podcast

Tea Culture in the UK (with transcript)

Se você ouviu o último episódio, já conhece um pouco da região Norte do Brasil. Hoje, vamos continuar nossa jornada pelo país e explorar outra parte fascinante: o Nordeste.

O Nordeste é formado por nove estados: Maranhão, Piauí, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, Sergipe e Bahia. É uma região conhecida por sua riqueza cultural, histórica e natural.

Foi no litoral do Nordeste que os portugueses chegaram pela primeira vez ao Brasil. Por isso, cidades como Olinda e Salvador preservam uma arquitetura colonial impressionante, cheia de história.

Mas o Nordeste vai muito além disso. É lá que estão algumas das praias mais bonitas do mundo, como Jericoacoara, Porto de Galinhas, Maragogi e Praia do Espelho. E no interior, o sertão guarda tradições fortes, como a literatura de cordel e o repente.

A música é uma marca registrada da região: forró, frevo, axé, maracatu, e as grandes festas populares como o Carnaval de Salvador e o São João de Campina Grande.

E claro, a culinária é um espetáculo à parte. Moqueca, acarajé, carne de sol, tapioca, vatapá... sabores que encantam quem visita.

Se você está aprendendo português e quer mergulhar de verdade na cultura brasileira, conhecer o Nordeste é essencial. Me acompanhe para mais curiosidades e dicas de português para estrangeiros.

In the introductory episode, I answer why I think it's important to look at asking questions as an art. I give my background, anecdotes, and hypotheticals to display what trying to achieve with this podcast. While I use a lot of complex vocabulary, I try to speak in a slower cadence so that learners in a wide range of levels can try to understand. Hope you enjoy!

"People Fixing the World" whilst learning English with Teacher Eve

Fishing for plastic

In this story, an aeroplane named Seven is using a secret energy source. But the assistant engineer might know what it is. 
This is Part 3 of 5. 

It was 12:00pm and Seven was playing cards with Zack the pilot in their hangar.
 
Seven picked up a few cards and slammed five down on the table. “Once again, I’m winning, Zack. When will you ever learn? You can’t beat me—Hah!” 

Zack, looking frustrated, said, “Next time I’ll beat you. I’m going to practice online. You’ll see. Next time.” 

Tobee arrived for work and went straight to the office. He noticed the security camera system was blinking, alerting some kind of action needed. Tobee took care of it and turned to exit the office. 

But what was this? In front of him there were several huge barrels labelled ‘7-Up’. Tobee thought that it was illegal to use 7-Up. He understood it was a cheaper fuel source, but he believed it wasn’t worth the risk. Tobee believed in the government’s decision to ban 7-Up as a fuel source. 

Tobee stepped out into the main hangar and confronted Zack. 

“Boss? There are seven giant barrels of 7-Up in the office. Have you been giving it to Seven? You know that’s illegal, right? Why are you doing this? You’re risking your entire business.” 

Zack looked undeniably suspicious and worried. He struggled to speak confidently and said, “Oh that… that’s left over from my son’s 14th birthday party last week. Want some?” 

Tobee said, “Uh… okay. But… I’m a bit… hurt that you didn’t invite me…” 

Zack laughed nervously. “Yes… I only just invited family and friends… Sorry, Tobee. Maybe next time. Uhh, feel free to take some home if you want.” 

As Tobee left the main hangar, Seven whispered to Zack, “Phew, that was a close one. Thankfully he bought it.” 

Tobee didn’t believe Zack’s improvised story, but he tried to play along. He didn’t want Zack catching onto him. Tobee thought that he’d discover the truth for himself.
