Hi! I'm a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker and a self-taught English one.
While learning English, I started studying and focusing on phonology (also for Portuguese, to understand my mother tongue even more and help others); I'm not an expert nor have I studied it formally, I'm just an enthusiast.
Completely detail-oriented, I used to speak out loud to myself, tire out my mouth muscles by repeating movements endlessly, make up words containing close sounds, and so on. I'm CRAZY about accents and dialects. I've learned English through General American, so that's the accent I go with to teach and communicate, but I've been trying to develop a secondary Estuary British accent, because I love it and want to be able to speak in a completely different speaking environment.
I'm open to becoming partners with someone on a par with me; at the moment, I'm looking for:
1) a native American English speaker willing to go from small talks to thought-out subjects. Though I'm an advanced speaker, I'm open to be corrected in ANY detail that prevents me from sounding like a native. So I'd love to find someone with ears tuned to noticing subtle sounds, to master my rhythm, contractions and connected speech;
2) a native British English speaker (especially Estuary English) willing to be a friendly guide on that bold quest of mine. If you pronounce [ɛɪ] instead of the standard [eɪ]; [ɑɪ] instead of [aɪ]; and/or throw in a fairly occasional and beautiful [ˈbɹɪʔ.ɪʃ], [ˈlɛɪ.ʔə], [ɪkˈsɑɪ.ʔɪd], or even [ˈbɛ.ʔə], you're the one I've looked for!
I'd like to find dedicated, long-term partners. If you are a Portuguese beginner, consider having classes with me. But if you are an intermediate to advanced speaker, you may fit in with my ambitions. I'm here to offer you what I ask for: meaningful reading to practice sounds and rhythm, writing and correcting texts to master grammar, and speaking in an intimate speaking immersion experience.
Get in touch if you think we can be a good match! :)
