Água com gás e água sem gás em Inglês?

Se quiser beber água com gás, não peça water with gas. É bem provável que você seja envenenado se assim proceder.

Nos Estados Unidos, diga: club soda, sparkling water, mineral water (já vem com gás). Na Inglaterra, prefira: fizzy water e sparkling water. Água com gás é tecnicamente conhecida como carbonated water, mas não é coisa que se peça para beber. Comum nos dois países é a água pedida pelo nome da grife (designer water), assim:

– Can I have a Perrier please?

– Sorry sir, we’re out of Perrier. Would Malvern be ok? (Lamento, acabou a Perrier, serve Malvern?)

Cf. Joel Santana e o Pode To Be

Caso prefira água sem gás, peça bottled water (recuso-me a traduzir isso), spring water (da fonte) ou mesmo ordinary water. Outra denominação comum é still water. Still, nesse caso, nada tem a ver com a tradução de “ainda”. Still significa algo que não se mexe, parado.

Cf. Como se diz “água doce” em inglês?

Cf. Como se diz “ir por água abaixo” em inglês?

Cf. GLASS: como se diz “vidro”, “copo”, “copo plástico” e “óculos”?

A friend in need is a friend indeed? Qual o significado desta expressão idiomática?

A friend in need is a friend indeed  is an Idiom and it means:  A friend in need is a friend indeed says that people often act friendly when they want to get something from us.  Example: "Hey buddy, how's it going? You look good. I love your jacket. Do you think you can give me a ride home?" Reply: "A friend in need is a friend indeed."  A friend in need is a friend indeed can be said when you notice that someone is being extra friendly to you and acting like your good friend as a way to get you to give them what they need.  Definitely, in my point view I translate this in Portuguese....os amigos são para as ocasiões. Numa tradução livre...você só conhece os amigos nas horas difíceis.  Source: GO ENGLISH

10 dicas do que não faze rde jeito nenhum para aprender Inglês!

1)      Focar o tempo todo na gramática! Os maiores especialistas recomendam que não deve focar muito em gramáticas, é como pensar o tempo todo no que falar, a língua é automática!

2)      Estudar exaustivamente palavra por palavra e decorar.

3)      É comum pensarmos em Português ou na língua nativa de seu país para falarmos em Inglês. É preciso focar o tempo todo, pensar automaticamente, isso se dá com o tempo.

4)      Medo e ansiedade, frustação com erros, insegurança também é uma das barreiras que devem ser quebradas. Lembre-se, somente a prática leva a perfeição. Mantenha a motivação e continue praticando.

5)      Não aprenda apenas em sala de aula, dedique-se pelo menos 10 minutos por dia.

6)      Falar antes de desenvolver essas habilidades, praticar o listening e a leitura. Não funciona.

7)      Não use palavras negativas, não crie barreiras, foque no que você quer.

8)      Faça por prazer, não por que seu pai quer, por que o mercado obriga. Tenha o hábito da leitura constante e da imersão natural no idioma.

9)      Esqueça os métodos milagrosos, fluência leva tempo e determinação. Varia de aluno para aluno, do nível intelectual de cada um.

10)   Seja você mesmo, não tente imitar nativos, o tempo, a prática e perfeição trará a fluência natural.

Enfim, há mais de 30 anos que estudo o idioma como autodidata, o aprendizado é continuo, é preciso motivação e força de vontade, estabelecer metas e depois correr para o abraço. Não esqueça de acessar o ENGLISH TIPS-SELF-TAUGHT. Deixe seu comentário e divulgue para amigos. 

Depois de tudo isso se quiser aprender Inglês recomendo aulas com a professora Elen Fernandes (Canal no YouTube).
