Transcript
Nalini: Hello! My name is Nalini Elvino de Sousa and welcome to Travel and Learn Goa.
Travel and Learn is a podcast for travellers and language lovers. We have 2 different sections: one is travelling and the other is language.
In the language section we have 3 levels: easy, medium and hard but today’s podcast is different. Is about how to motivate yourself to learn a language.
Today, I decided to talk to a very good friend of mine. Marina Nédio!
Olá Marina! Hi!
Marina: Hi! Olá Nalini! Hi!
How are you? Como estás?
Nalini: I am great! Marina, remind me, where do you live exactly?
Marina: Aveiro! Moro em Aveiro. E tu?
Nalini: Eu moro em Campal. I live in Campal, in Goa. Campal is part of Panjim and Panjim is the capital of Goa, as you know.
So, Marina and I have different level students who are learning Portuguese with us now. And what we were discussing the other day, is that, sometimes, our students don’t have enough time to study.
I mean, they don’t have time to go through the notes of the class, practice new vocabulary like we always advise them to do….but there are many ways to practice without sitting with your notes and books, isn’t it Marina?
Marina: Yes, yes. When I start to travel, I decide to change all my social media to English as a way to be in contact with the language.
It’s interesting because this was a long time ago and I still have Facebook, Instagram, the email…I still have it in English.
It’s a good way of being in contact with the language.
