Irregular English verb list with sound!!! Amazing!

Finalmente, parei para procurar a lista de verbos irregulares com pronúncia e encontrei uma!
Isso vai facilitar sua memorização. Acesse o link: http://archive.org/details/IrregularVerbListaudioRecording, baixe o arquivo e aprenda quase todos os passados e particípios passados dos verbos irregulares.
Siga através de alguma lista que tenha em mãos ou busque uma pela internet como no site: http://www.solinguainglesa.com.br/conteudo/irregulares1.php

Pode ser que uma parte esteja na lista e não seja pronunciada, mas marque as que forem, a maioria com certeza estará lá e não se preocupe se não tiver um ou outro na lista escrita.
Enjoy it!

Nice Sunday! :)

Séries de TV e filmes: diversão e aprendizado! - TV shows and films: entertainment and learning

Quem não curte filmes ou algumas séries de TV? 

      Bom, não há como negar que esses são recursos de fácil acesso e que podem aprimorar seu inglês de uma forma fantástica. 

     Estudei e continuo estudando por algumas séries com legenda em inglês. Nesse estudo, eu assisto ao menos uma vez para diversão. Na segunda, anoto frases e palavras que não conheço. Então, eu procuro seus significados no dicionário e assisto mais uma vez para memorizar, nesta sem legenda. Claro, é somente uma dica e pode ser adaptável a cada um, assistir mais vezes ou antes assistir sem legenda ou em português.

     Escolha seus filmes que tenha em DVD ou sua série favorita, baixe da internet ou adquira as temporadas. É um curso que vale a pena se você pretende elevar o nível de seu inglês.

   As minhas favoritas estão abaixo...I love them all!!!!
