DICAS DE INGLÊS TECLASAP: COMO DIGO AMIGO SECRETO EM INGÊS?
O Natal ainda está longe, mas recebi um e-mail de um leitor querendo saber como se chama a festa de “amigo secreto” em inglês. Como na Inglaterra não temos esse costume e não faz parte de nossa cultura, desconheço expressão equivalente. Se alguém quisesse introduzir essa tão simpática brincadeira por lá, teria que chamá-la de Secret Friend ou Mystery Friend (e ainda correr o risco de ser totalmente ignorado). Até aí, nada de grandes novidades.
O quadro muda de figura, porém, ao aterrissarmos nos Estados Unidos – pelo menos na Califórnia – e no Canadá. Lá chamam isso de Kriss Kringle ou Secret Santa. Secret Santa seria, possivelmente, a designação mais comum nas escolas ou escritórios. Kriss parece ser derivada de Christmas, eKringle de… caramba! Sabe que não faço a menor ideia? (mas que parece nome de salgadinho, parece).
Continuando, Santa é de Santa Claus, AKA (also known as = também conhecido como) Father Christmas.
Bem, acabei de ter uma crise de consciência por não ter dado uma explicação melhor a respeito deKriss Kringle. Vou deixar de ser preguiçoso e procurar no meu dicionário — afinal tantos dicionários servem para quê? E veja só o que encontrei:
Kriss Kringle – Alteração do dialetal alemão Christkindl – Presente de Natal. Quem diria? Nem imaginei que ia aprender algo assim em plena tarde de sábado… E tem mais! Kriss Kringle é The Christ child também.
Bom, agora vamos a alguns exemplos de possíveis diálogos para consolidarmos a novidade.
- Who’s your Secret Santa this year?
- Preciso traduzir? (Ué, por que não?). Quem é seu amigo secreto este ano?
Outro bom exemplo:
- What did you get for your Kriss Kringle?
- O que você comprou para seu amigo secreto / amigo oculto?
- I bought Michael Jacobs’ latest books “Tirando Dúvidas de Inglês” and “Como Melhorar Ainda Mais seu Inglês“.
- Comprei os últimos livros de Michael Jacobs: “Tirando dúvidas de inglês” e “Como melhorar ainda mais seu inglês”.
- Great choice! Everyone should buy one or two copies, or even more.
- Ótima escolha! Todos deveriam comprar pelo menos um ou dois exemplares – ou até mais.
Quanto ao fato de os ingleses não compartilharem conosco desta tradição tão pitoresca, só posso sugerir que eles o façam o mais rápido possível e, aproveitando a “deixa”, usem as expressões que os norte-americanos já adotaram. Mas, cá pra nós, conhecendo os meus patrícios, tenho cá minhas dúvidas…

COMO DIGO CURTIR UMA PÁGINA NO FACEBOOK?
Lógico que a palavra isolada curtir tem vários significados, daí a importância do contexto: Posso usar o THUMBS UP para referir curtir algo, no sentido de aprovação? Sim, pode. É comum ler Thank you for the thumbing, or thank you for thumbs up my Fan Page. Thumbs up geralmente usado como substantivo, polegar no sentido de aceitação. Curtir significa aprovar. Thank you for like my Fan page.
Thumbs up
Thumbs up
1. a sign of approval
2. approving
2. approving
I got the thumbs up to follow through from the manager.
Thumbs up, sinal de aprovação, uma gíria para dar um joinha, muito comum na internet.
Like my Fan page: Curta minha Fan page, é um verbo que não admite o tempo contínuo, o ING, ou seja liking my fan page, (é comum ler isso, mais é usado de forma informal como internetês).

TECLA SAP: Micos em inglês: A costureira
Trabalhei como professor de inglês durante 3 anos e, por alguns meses, dei aula para dois irmãos. Em uma das aulas, estávamos conversando sobre os países deles e um dos irmãos disse que a mãe era costureira, mas ele não sabia como dizer “costureira” em inglês. Eu também não sabia, mas pensei: Se “professor” é “TEACH” (ensinar) + “ER” = “TEACHER” e “cantor” é “SING” (cantar) + “ER” = “SINGER”, “costureira” deve ser “SEW” (costurar) + “ER” = “SEWER”.
Na hora a palavra até soou meio estranha, mas acabei dizendo que era “SEWER” mesmo…
No dia seguinte, um pouco antes da aula com os dois irmãos, procurei no dicionário e descobri que, na verdade, “costureira” era “SEAMSTRESS” ou “DRESSMAKER” — e pedi milhões de desculpas pelo erro!
MORAL DA HISTÓRIA: Para quem não achou tanta graça da história, vale lembrar que o significado de “SEWER” é “esgoto”. Acontece.
Se você gostou dessa história e quer ler outras semelhantes, conheça o livro “Aprenda inglês com humor – Micos que você não pode pagar“, de Ulisses Wehby de Carvalho, lançado pela Disal Editora em 2012.
Quem nunca deu uma bola fora ao falar inglês? Os relatos de situações constrangedoras vividas por quem ainda não possui domínio da língua inglesa têm o objetivo de divertir, ensinar e evitar que mais gente caia nas mesmas armadilhas.

11 Tips to Help You Learn English Faster
Credits of the article: Before start to read, I like to know that I found out a powerful website on internet and I decided to copy and pass it on for English learners. English Tonight
1. Take a deep breath and SPEAK!
The more you think about speaking, the more nervous you will get. Just try speaking more. Next time you go to English class or speak English, count how many times you speak in five or ten minutes. After that, try to speak more. If you spoke one time today, next English class, try to speak two or three times. The more you speak the more you will learn how to communicate properly.

After that, try to speak more. If you spoke one time today, next English class, try to speak two or three times. The more you speak the more you will learn how to communicate properly.
2. Don’t apologize for not knowing everything or “Not speaking English!”
You are learning English… You are trying, right? That’s what’s important. You don’t say “I don’t know how to cook that.” and stop cooking new things or “I don’t now how to use a computer.” and stop using new computer apps and programs. You just keep doing your best and you learn more and more as time goes on. Please don’t say ‘I DON’T speak English’. Instead you could say:
• “I am learning English. Could you speak a little slower?”
• “I’m sorry, I didn’t understand.”
• “Could you repeat that?”
• “So, you’re saying that…. [rephrase what you heard]”.
• “What does _________ mean?”

• “Could you repeat that?”
• “So, you’re saying that…. [rephrase what you heard]”.
• “What does _________ mean?”
3. Stop translating everything word for word to your language.
Translating everything to your native language is a big NO NO when learning English! If you are doing it, STOP right now! Translating everything is slowing down your progress. If you hear something in English and instantly try to translate it to your native language; you will not be focusing on learning English, but rather translating. When you hear people speaking in English:
• Listen for words you DO understand
• Use contextual clues… so, if you hear, “There is a big rhinoceros.” If you don’t know what ‘rhinoceros’ means but you see a big animal in a picture, or someone is pointing at something. Use those clues to figure out what it means.

4. Train your ears to understand.
You need to focus and listen. Train you ears to listen for words they (YOU) know in English. Listen for patterns. Don’t focus on grammar or single words. Focus on the phrases. Listen to English movies, music, and TV. Listen to the way things are phrased or ordered. If you train your ears, you will automatically start to understand more when people speak English. Training your ears to listen to English, will help focus on the big picture; understanding English. You cannot become fluent if you are focusing on words, one at a time. It would take you forever to learn English.

5. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes.
Fear can stop you from learning English.
• Do you go to English class and think that everyone is going to make fun of you or laugh at you if you try to speak English?
• Do know all the grammar rules but struggle to have a conversation in English?
• Do you avoid speaking with native English speakers and other people that speak English better than you?
Stop being so afraid to speak English! You need to let go and relax. You need to stop thinking of the ‘What if’s…?’. Instead focus on doing and your actions. No one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. The more you do something the better you get at it. To be a better English speaker and understand more English you need to stop being afraid of making mistakes.

6. Keep Trying. Don’t Give Up.
Professional athletes practice a lot. They weren’t born professional athletes. A ton of hard work and hours went into being so good at what they do. They could never be a professional soccer or baseball player without trying. If a professional athlete stopped practicing today, their skills would get worse. They would start making mistakes. The more you practice speaking English, reading English, listening to English, and writing in English the better you will get. You won’t be able to speak English fluently tomorrow or even next month. Over time if you put in the effort, you will be more comfortable and know a lot more English.

Over time if you put in the effort, you will be more comfortable and know a lot more English.
7. Keep a small notebook… write down important phrases.
Write down entire phrases that you hear. You could write it down because you think you will use it, you learned something new, or you didn’t understand. When you look back at the notebook later you will have the whole phrase; instead of one word in isolate (alone, with no example). By writing down the entire phrase you mind remember is like that. Next time you need it, the whole phrase will come out, instead of just one word.

8. Stop Negative Self-Talk
Do you find yourself saying or thinking negative things about learning English? Such as,
• “You will never learn English.”
• “Why do I always make mistakes? I am so stupid.”
• “I never know what to say. English is so hard.”
If you do say these things to yourself, then you do have negative self-talk about learning English.
How do you fix negative self-talk?
• Recognize you are being negative.
• Rephrase or change your statement. State the negative in a different manner
Negative Self-Talk: “I will never learn English”.
Positive Self-Talk: “English is difficult but I am going to keep trying. I am sure I will get it soon.”
Being positive will help you learn English quicker.

9. Set goals- Know why you are learning English. What do you want to accomplish? Do you want to speak English fluently? Do you want to get a job speaking English? Are you going to travel to the United States? Do you need to know English for University? Do you want to learn English because all of your friends speak English? Think about why you are learning English and set some goals.
• How long will you study English?
• How will you study or learn English?
• What specifically will you do to learn English?
• How will you know when you meet your goal?
• What will happen when you meet your goal?
• How long will you study English?
• How will you study or learn English?
• What specifically will you do to learn English?
• How will you know when you meet your goal?
• What will happen when you meet your goal?
10. Try something new
Have been trying to learn English the same way for the last year? Three years? Seven years or more? Try something new! Change is good for you. It will help you grow.
• Try listening to English podcast.
• Take an online English class.
• Listen to music in English.
• Watch TV or news in English.
• Watch YouTube English Lessons
• Take a class from a different teacher.
• Do a language exchange online or in your city
• Find an English speaking friend (native or not)

11. Throw your textbook (or grammar book) out the window.
Okay…. Maybe you don’t need to be so dramatic but a textbook should be used as a reference. Don’t throw it out the window; put it in the closet. An English textbook should not be your only resource when learning English. It should be there to use from time to time when you have a question or want to look up something. You need to focus on YOU. What do you need to learn? You are an individual. What you need to learn in English is different than what your neighbor, your friend and your boss need to know in English. The textbook will not change based on each individual’s needs… it is a one size fit all. Language learning is NOT one size (or way) fits all!
