List the can-do pass-off topics (speaking, grammar, culture) you are working on.
Para os pass-offs, estou trabalhando nessas areas:

Speaking:

Descrever sua aula favorita da universidade

Falar sobre o que você fez aos 10 anos de idade que não faz mais

Grammar:

Conhecimento demonstrativo do tempo futuro

Conjugação de verbos irregulares: AGREDIR, PROGREDIR, PREVENIR, DESTRUIR, CONSTRUIR, PRODUZIR, TRADUZIR, SEDUZIR

Culture:

Descrever a importância da Amazônia no Brasil

List the three online BraziliPod lessons that you have listened to during the week
1. Travel 1: Hanging out at Breakfast 1 (Conversa Brasileira)

2. Wedding 1: One big fancy wedding

3. Gossip 1: Ói, que safado!

Write two observations of what you have learned from the online lessons.
1. Existem muitos verbos em português que requerem uma preposição.
2.  As frases "O tempo todo," "toda hora," e "todo o tempo" significam "the whole time"

Write two questions that you would like us to discuss as follow-up in class.
1. Existem regras específicas para entender se um verbo precisa de uma preposição? Se não, quais são alguns dos mais comuns?
2. Se os pronomes de objeto são omitidos, isso sempre aumenta o uso de pronomes de sujeito? Ou é possível que haja omissão de pronome em alguns exemplos?

Estimada Major Denice,

Muito obrigada por dedicar um tempo para nós, especialmente durante o tempo do almoço! Sua

apresentação foi educativa e incrível demais. Admiro você e seu trabalho, o que é muito

inspirador e impactante. Eu sempre gosto de aprender de pessoas que estão ativamente fazendo

uma diferença no mundo, e você é uma dessas pessoas. Então, foi um prazer escutar você e

aprender de você, ainda mais porque você está usando seu poder para fazer o bem!

Eu acho que suas iniciativas e programas, como Ronda Maria da Penha, o curso Salvado Marias

e a Ronda para Homens, são bons demais e um exemplo não só para o Brasil, mas para o mundo

todo. Essas iniciativas e programas são necessárias para, como você falou, mudar a cultura da

violência contra as mulheres. Eu concordo que a mudança acontece mudando a cultura, que tem

infelizmente normalizado e aceitado a violência contra a mulher.

Uma coisa que eu achei muito impactante e na verdade muito triste foi aprender que o número de

mulheres polícias não tem mudado durante seu tempo como policial. Acho que aquela lei, que

limita apenas 10% dos policiais a serem mulheres, é muito sexista. Infelizmente, ainda estamos

lidando com políticas assim, que é incrível ainda ter no século XXI. Enfim, como você falou, é

importante a gente não perder a fé, e você tem razão. Não adianta perder a esperança porque

depois nada vai mudar. Pelo menos temos a oportunidade de mudar algumas coisas e fazer uma

diferença!

Mais uma vez, muito obrigada por tudo. Foi um prazer conhecer você!

Abraços,

Rocha

A) Abril C C

B) Not surprisingly, I felt much less confident while negotiating in Spanish. I hadn't considered Abril's perspective much before, as she has always seemed very confident and capable, despite English being her second language; I'm quite impressed. Nonetheless, I was still able to understand everything Abril was saying, and I was able to counter on a few of the points.

C) I'm actually surprised at myself for underestimating the difficulty of negotiating in a secondary language. I think that if I had spent the hour before "warming up" my Spanish, I would've felt more confident. In the future, I will definitely be more cognizant of the difficulties of doing business in a foreign country/language; I can definitely see how a lot can go wrong without this understanding and preparation.

B. 4/5/2021

C. Arturo did not have any feedback for me aside from some mispronunciations, which I did my best to auto-correct during the presentation.

D. I enjoyed this presentation more than I initially thought I would. Having never learned about accounting before, learning these terms and concepts in Spanish was definitely overload at first. However, I think that preparing for this presentation and getting to explain some of the concepts with tangible examples helped overcome some of this. Part of the reason I liked this section was because I had no English background with many of the terms. I wasn't only learning important Spanish business concepts but also general business concepts that will help me in any workplace environment, both Spanish or English.

The metric system originated in France in 1799 following the French Revolution although decimal units had been used in many other countries and cultures previously. Although there have been many different measurements and the definitions of the units have been revised, the official system of measurements of most countries is the modern form of the metric system which is known as the "International System of Units".

Since other systems of measurement are still used around the world, such as the United States and the United Kingdom, this site aims to help people convert units of measurement with Metric Converter and Metric Conversion Table and to better understand alternative measurements that they are unfamiliar with. The measurement units are categorized into types (such as Temperature Conversion, Weight Conversion and so on) seen on the right-hand side which then lead to a series of metric conversion calculators.

If you have a suggestion for new units to be added or suggestions on how to improve this site please contact us by email.

Cultural Interviews with International Business Executives is a compilation of over one thousand brief video clips in which executives from different countries discuss (in their native language) cultural issues that are of interest to North Americans. These executives offer their opinion on a number of issues related to their experience in working with North Americans. These interviews serve as an excellent resource for intermediate and advanced learners of a foreign language. To date we have executives who speak Chinese, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish. Beyond foreign language learning, these interviews also serve to compare cross-cultural opinions about professional activities.

We have subdivided the interviews into 2 major topics. The first section " Negotiation Topics" deals with the interviewees perceptions about how their work is different when specifically working with North Americans. The second section, " Bonus Topics " deals with general social, language, and scheduling issues that come up in intercultural exchanges. Users can view these interviews by language (click on any of the languages on the left sidebar). All of the video clips are also available on youtube (and they are embedded here in this site). The youtube video clips also provide subtitles in the original language and English translations, which you are welcome to turn on or off, depending on personal preferences.
