Start your English course now and in each video, before class, we will present our learning objective. For this video, Jô, what is our learning target? The learning target is that you leave here knowing your course and knowing which path you will take to learn English well.
So, module one starts here and now we will explain what we will see during all these classes. Let's go. Hello, Grass Hopper, welcome, very welcome to the first video, the first lesson of your English video course.
My name is Gustavo Guanabara. And my name is Joana Costa. You can call me Jo.
And now man, it's a great joy to start the English course, as we always said during the promotions. It's something you've always asked for and now we're starting the first module, right, João? Very happy with it.
Exactly. I'm very happy with the result. I think you'll enjoy it too.
It's because this video that we are recording, we are recording at the moment when we have just finished recording the first module. So everything we say here is already guaranteed, because it is already recorded. It's great.
It's a lot of show. It really is a great show. It's not because we're not doing it, but it's perfect for you.
During our journey there, during classes, you will understand a little more what the focus of this course is, whether this course is ideal for you. But let's stop talking and go directly to the slides where we will list all the points of these more than 20 classes that this first module has. The first module is known as beginner, right?
It was called beginners. Exactly. So, we are all beginners.
Whoever is following this course here, oh no, but I already know a lot of English and so on. Always consider this a beginner in everything in your life, so that you open your mind to learn new things. So that's pretty cool.
Of course, as we have always said and will always say here on the course, this course may not be for you and that's okay. And the question is, is this course for you or not? You have to see if it's worth doing, if what we're going to say you already know and it's very easy for you.
And what we always ask for, I'll ask in this video too, but I'll summarize here, maybe this course isn't for you, but maybe you know someone who really needs to learn English and who needs to take the first steps. And then this course will be, oh, perfect for everyone. And then, as soon as you find out if it's for you or not, let's go to the first class, the very first, right, which is Introducing yourself.
You will discover how to introduce yourself using basic English. Exactly. Because not every beginning needs to exist, right?
There are several ways to introduce yourself. Or you arrive and you know how to speak, right, the basics, you say: “Hi, how are you? My name is Gustavo, I'm from Rio de Janeiro, I'm a technology teacher and I really like teaching.
" And there are other ways in which you will start to say: "Ah, this is my background, I don't know, so your vocabulary has to increase. " We will start with Basic Engl. Yes, because we're going to start from the beginning.
Is this for you? This is for that colleague who you know wants to start studying English, get that promise down on paper and hasn't done it yet. And if you happen to be in doubt, oh man, is it worth learning English?
What are the advantages of learning English? I don't think we needed to explain it, but we also included this in the course, right? Why do I need to study English?
How important is English in our lives? Yeah, why should I learn English? This is important.
We'll get there, I'll just give you a spoiler, but it's not much. During the video you will understand better. There's plenty of reason.
Exactly. Even during this time of introducing ourselves and everything else, we will learn to say our name, our age, what, what our job is, what we do to survive, right, or to live. Anyway, last name.
Exactly. You will understand the last name, the middle name. We're going to talk about a lot of things, talk about how old you are.
You will understand that talking about age is not how we say it, it is a little different, right? The construction is a different construction and every time you do what we do, people know that you are Latino. Exactly.
The person will understand, so this guy is starting now. Another thing that is important, our course will not only be based on video, we will have, you will see during the calls in the middle of the course, we will have videos. We will also use support applications, right, João?
Yes, you will have five apps to help you learn English. So, you will see some applications, we will open some with you, inform you how it will be useful in your learning. Even one of them will be like this, practically mandatory complementary material, right?
Yes yes. We're going to say: "Look, essential, this one you have to do and you have to study every day, because as we always say here, I always say here in the video course, I don't know if you know the channel, the The only way you can learn something is by training. And to train and get better, it has to be every day.
This is how you will learn English. It's because English is a language, right? So when you learned Portuguese, you were learning vocabulary, enriching it and using it.
It's the same thing. You will enrich your vocabulary and use it more and more. And to use it for what?
So you can have a conversation, right? You can chat with people. This is the goal of the beginner, right?
Eh, it's to communicate. Communicate. You need to start, you need to be interested and if you don't see the use, your brain goes there and throws all that information away.
Exactly. So, you need to practice. And if at this moment you're watching the video saying: "Hey, but you're talking about English and so far no one has talked about the verb to be, will this course be so revolutionary that it won't teach the verb to be?
" There is no way to. To be is the essence of the beginner. So yes.
And also because we want to demystify that the verb to be is impossible to learn. It is a very important foundation, but it will be part of your course as a co-adviser. It won't be verb to be from start to finish.
You can rest assured. It is sprinkled throughout the classes and when you least notice it, you already understand it completely. Exactly.
Especially because you already did your master's degree, right, at the verb to be school. You don't need to suffer again. And as we are saying here, module one, the objective is mainly to communicate, right?
You use English as a tool. We will teach you things, for example, talking about your family. Talk about your family.
After all, it constitutes you as a person, right? You already learned how to say your name, your surname, your age and now it's time to talk about the people you interact with and who make you a citizen. Exactly.
And we will also learn how to build Q&A. What are the Q&A? Questions and answers.
You will be able to put together a question and know how to answer these questions. Exactly. And then we'll start because, like, questions and answers, like in Portuguese, we have many, right, to know when, where, when, how.
So, we're going to break down these questions so that you can answer each one in turn. So, we'll start with what's ands. Show.
Beauty. We will also learn to describe friends and family. Yes.
Let's start introducing you to some adjectives. Some about size, others about personality. And then we add more and more content.
After all, there are a lot of adjectives. Exactly. For friends, for families and for people in general, right?
We will learn. General mode. It's because sometimes your family is all friendly and you want to talk to someone boring, right?
Another thing, we will do, we will understand your questions. Exactly. How do you ask a closed question?
Closed questions. How do you do this? How do you best do this so you get your yes or no back?
Then we go back to that thing about you introducing yourself, talking about your birthday, right? Yes, because your age and way of speaking, your birthday date is different from Portuguese. So it's important that you retain this knowledge so you don't end up making mistakes.
Exactly. So far we are just describing and stating. We will also take things negatively.
Yes, because life is not just about yes. I've heard more no than yes. In this life, I think everyone does, right?
If I could put a postit there would be a lot of no's and a few yes's. We will always focus, obviously, like all beginners, on affirmatives, negatives and interrogatives. Interrogations.
We will learn to ask questions. Yes, because when you ask questions, you nurture this conversation so that it is enjoyable for both sides, right? She asks about you, you ask about her.
Of course, when we work on affirmations, we will also be working on questions, because it goes both ways, right? You may be asked this question, but you can also ask it. We will also learn the prepositions of location, right?
From places, right? Yes. We're going to talk about between, next to.
And in addition to describing isolated people, describe so-and-so, describe belutano, we will learn to compare these people. compare things as a whole, right? We're going to start to complicate things a little, right?
Inside the beginers parameter, right? We will start to compare, because sometimes comparison is inevitable. You want to talk about one and the other, about a characteristic that one has that the other doesn't have.
And we will equip you with this knowledge so that you can use it correctly. Another very important piece of knowledge for beginners is using auxiliary verbs. What is a business like?
Assistant. Assistant. Auxiliary verbs.
Auxiliary verbs, which are do, don't, does, doesn't, is, am, are. We have can and can't and others that we introduce little by little. Don't worry, don't despair, you'll like it.
Yeah, go, go. In addition to auxiliary verbs, we will work on articles. The a, the an, the the.
Exactly. Dan is very easy, but we separated a whole piece just for you, a whole class just to explain it to you and calm you down that there's no big deal. And to finish this module, close with a flourish, I don't know if you know, if you're arriving here on the English course, you're very welcome.
This is a channel that focuses a lot on technology. I created this channel back in 2013 to talk about computer programming. We are not going to focus this course specifically on programmers.
This course is for everyone. You'll see it in the next video, too. However, we separated the end of this module to talk a little about things that are in your daily life, which are devices and technology.
Technology in general. OK? So, we're going to talk about how to classify, which one you like most or least, what adjectives to use to talk about your technology, right?
Whichever one you like, it will be really cool. And you call a notebook a notebook, you will understand that a notebook is not quite a notebook and that a pen drive is not quite a pen drive. These names are only Brazilian.
Say, no, it's not a Brazilian thing. Notebook is an English term, pen drive is an English term. They only exist here in Brazil.
You can believe it. We are all like hot Philadelphia. And truth.
It's like a Mexican palette. It's not available in Mexico. So, man, welcome, very welcome to this course.
