Fun fact: Worcestershire sauce is HUGE in Brazil. Every snack bar and restaurant has it. But we have no clue… Why’s that? Cause we call it ENGLISH SAUCE (Molho inglês).😃
Haha I did see it actually
Eu não fazia ideia kkkkk . Meu molho favorito
Molho inglês não é Worcestershire. Worcestershire é feito com peixe, nunca vi isso na lista de ingredientes desses molhos.
@@XxKnuckleSOverlorDxXO que posso dizer é que efetivamente algumas marcas vendiam o que nós chamamos de molho inglês com o adendo de "tipo Worcestershire", que normalmente não vinha em evidência mas também não vinha em micro letras. Hoje em dia não vejo mais a informação aparecer com frequência. Mas de fato, nunca me lembro de ter peixe nos ingredientes. Diante da sua alegação e dos meus conhecimentos só posso a duas conclusões:
1) talvez exista uma forma de fazê-lo sem usar peixe;
2) o mais provável e que tenhamos sido enganados por um bom tempo pelas fabricantes de molho brasileiras😂😂😂😂;
é o mesmo molho sim, mas só marcas mais caras trazem anchova como ingrediente, foi abrasileirado, hj em dia se acha lea & perrins pra vender no brasil e é o original, o primeiro a ser feito
Sadly most of us brazillians cannot speak English fluently and those who can often feel shy to speak. Glad to see some of my fellows leaving shyness apart in this video! Cheers mate! Come back whenever you wish!
Thanks 🙏
Sadly most of english natives just speak english hahaha
Thanks man, unhappy the most brazilian people like me need to know videos like that. I was in sydney learning english for 9 months after this i returned to Brazil. I think as well that my english level is not enough although i can understand better than. A big signal above is my reading level. Now i can read english books :)
@@giovanniroppa that’s amazing man! I love that you can enjoy a book in English… so sick! 😎

O carisma da professora de inglês, impressionante como algumas pessoas tem e outras nao.
sério? vi nada demais.
achei ela bem carismática também, transmitiu alegria
@@guilhermehonorio6500 achei normal
O que sempre me deixa abismado é como tem tanto professor de inglês no Brasil sem inglês avançado sequer. O rapaz, que aprendeu com video-game, tem vocabulário mais extenso e melhor pronúncia que ela.
@@bellanivitortu acha mano? eu curti mais a pronúncia da professora pra falar a vdd, agora de vocabulário ela perdeu pro mlk mesmo
The reason everybody kept saying 'notebook' when it was 'laptop' It's not because of a brand but it's because that's what we call it here. we call a 'laptop' a 'notebook'. A laptop here would be used to refer to a fake 'laptop' like a kid's toy.
Also I don't think a macbook would be the first thing to mind when seeing a laptop since apple it's not that big in Brazil. At least not as big as in the US
Yeah, it's a tendency. I'm Hispanic and it's common to use the name of a famous brand when we're talking about a specific object (even if we know the name of it, we still tend to follow that tendency) ❤️🩹
I believe that has more Brazilians speaking English, even in a basic level, than English native speakers who knows Portuguese.
I believe you
You got it
they dont need to learn portuguese
@@m4rkes462and we Brazilians don't need to learn English aswell (I speak English because I like to study languages but I definitely don't need to)

No, he was in a rich area in São Paulo. Actually less than 5% of our population can speak english.
@@AndersonSouza-dk2tbem 2012 meu professor de inglês falava que menos de 5% dos Brasileiros falavam inglês (já era uma pesquisa antiga) e até hoje falam isso. Sei que poucos falam, mas acredito que a porcentagem seja bem maior atualmente pq não é tão difícil encontrar alguém que fale inglês como era antigamente.
You are right. Im graduated in foreign languages apllied to internacional bussiness..my area cover translations... internacional marketing and that stuff..and when i work with employees from hotel staff and stuff , for instrumental english classes, most of them, even coming from humble origins like favelas. Know how to speak at some degree or at least can understand pretty good the listening part and thats amazing..i guess its a reflction of the nowdays easy acess to the internet and the range and contact with tourism in those areas..so..the poorer part of the population now are aware of the importance of learning english, because they want get money with sales or services for Foreigners..have dates..that kind of stuff with gringos. @@USAsilva

Thank you so much! Hope you are enjoying Durham
Take note: In Brazil notebook = laptop we use both words for portable computers even in Portuguese 🥴
Some people use both words interchangeably in the US. Laptop is the most used though.

Keep going and you will get there!
You made my day! I was born and I have lived in São Paulo my whole life and You Visited Us!
You definetely are one of the best online English teachers.
it's an AMAZING city! thanks for having me
@@InstantEnglishUK Anytime! Do come back, will you?!
I don't usually comment, but overall I believe that only about 3-5% of the population can speak English fluently (and often have lived abroad). There are Brazilians who learn English without leaving the country, but they are also a very small portion of the population. English, being a Germanic language for Portuguese, which is a Latin language, requires a lot of study and memorization, which can take from 2 years for disciplined learners to even longer for those who are not serious. Obviously, it is easier for those who do an exchange or immigrate abroad.
There are more German speakers in Brazil than English speakers
The number of German speakers in Brazil is more concentrated among descendants or people with some close German ancestry. The majority of these speakers are located in the southern region of the country. However, Brazilian Portuguese is the only official language spoken by 98% of the population. Only in isolated regions of the northern Amazon rainforest are native languages spoken. Interestingly, Portuguese speakers from Portugal often consider Brazilian Portuguese to be a dialect.
Yes, that is true, but I have a question, are you Brazilian because you have a lot of knowledge about the country 🤔
actually, more than 1/2 of Modern English vocabulary derives from Latin, and ModE also has significant grammatical divergences from Germanic languages. as a Brazilian myself, I found English to be naturally achievable due to the similarities between vocabulary, and a really decisive factor is how much exposed you are to the targeted language. when it comes to ModE, we are all exposed to it at some extent, and it might be through music, cinema, videos… so its classification as a Germanic language, doesn’t necessarily add up to the amount of work needed when learning it, coming from a Romance language background.
@@hairandcia2028because it is, in fact, a dialect. Many even
O moleke tirou onda , that dude rock , he is the real deal
Who?
@@InstantEnglishUK I think he is referring to Matthew. He did really good! And i think he probabbly said the english version of his name cause is pretty rare a "Matthew" instead of "Matheus"
They all rocked! Not everybody has the courage to let him/herself be recorded testing his/her English! they did it really well!
1:26 Vanessa has been 32 EVER SINCE SHE WAS 10?! THATS CRAZY!
Come on
As a Brazilian I can say this is a great video the guy is super respectful and I had a good laugh watching the girl saying “mortadela” - probably because what she was up to eat after um beckinho e varias breja. and the other guy outside the interview saying “speak english - battery” is just suco do brasil. Missing my country 🥹
Thank YOUU, that's exactly what i want. I want to come across as respectful and make an entertaining/educational video
Bro, the girl in red was totally high lmao
Just a bit tipsy
Não, para nós ela bebeu pouco 😊
she was so funny to watch, definitely the kind of girl I`m friends with ashaushaushausha
she’s actually kinda popular I’ve seen her on few videoclips
I'm learning English and I understood almost everything in this video. Thanks for your videos sir!
Yes, l'm learning inglish too.. Good look guy. This is a good video for my learning.
The fact that the English range level here is so broad is impressive. I have seen people going from the earliest stages of basic to the most advanced levels.
The thing here is people WILL TRY to talk to you and help you even if their level is not the most advanced. So lots of people here can communicate in english - even if sometimes it is more of a simple type of structure with limited vocab and lots of signing going on...
I love how Brazilians can speak english, even though their native language is more similar to spanish than english
It is a amazing video. Here in Brazil is very hard to see people speaking english and every time I watch videos like that I feel a great feeling
Thank for that
Glad you enjoyed the video!
I am 13, from Brazil, taught myself through 2020-2022, started an English course in 2022, hated it because I already knew everything, complained for 2 years, told my mom I already knew everything, she said I could stop the classes if I did a Cambridge Exam and got a certificate, did the leveling test, got 24/25 (96%, remember that), got C1 level, but because of my age the centre I was going to do the exam in put me on B2 first level, did the exam, got 183/190 WHICH MEANS I WAS C1 LEVEL THE WHOLE TIME, and do you know how much 183/190 is in percentage? 96%. So the leveling test was completely accurate, I was in C1, got the same score, but nobody believes me because I am a kid. But makes sense tho, I won’t judge them.
It was interesting to see how Brazilians speak English and it was impressive. If I were there I would answer anything. I have a very extensive vocabulary and I know
10 000 words, but sometimes there are some words I rarely use in my everyday life. Unfortunately I don’t have many people who can speak English with me and I am desperate cuz I want to make friends so they can speak only English with me.
I don’t want everyone to speak my first language because it annoys me. My family always speaks Russian with me and no one speaks English with me. I don’t live in an English speaking country. I am bilingual and I speak two languages fluently. My studies were in English, but I only had online lectures cuz I was the only student from my faculty and others were Erasmus students from different countries, but I never met them cuz it all was online, so it was pretty boring. When I had French at my university, there was a girl from Italy, we communicated with each other and then she had to return to Italy at the end of her study semester in a foreign country. Anyway, it was great to meet someone. During online lectures I had to listen, but it also was good because it was a voluble info for me and I had good grades this year.
I will defend my bachelor paper this summer, so and then afterwards I want to move to my homeland cuz I’ve been living in a foreign country for 22 years and life is bad now, but things will get better. I want to find a good job, earn a lot of money, find a good girlfriend and make reliable friends. Furthermore, I am interested in learning other languages and I know some basic Greek words and I have a conversational level in Spanish, but I want to improve my Spanish. I’ve been working as an English teacher since last year and I am happy to help someone with English. I have dreams and I’ll do anything to make my dreams come true.
Hey i'm from brazil
Para brasileiros foi perfeito .. não é fácil encontrar brasileiros q falam inglês
E também não é fácil encontrar ingleses que falam o português (meu marido é inglês e tem preguiça de aprender o português)
@@suelysouza3924 bom saber disso👏👏
I'm Brazilian and I can tell you that those people in your video are priviledged and considered exceptions for being able to understand and speak English pretty well, even making some mistakes sometimes. If you go to a less wealthy neighborhood or to the suburbs of São Paulo, I'm quite sure that almost no one will barely understand you.
I just went to random places not privileged areas
I used to live in this street, its called Maria Antonia. its in front of Mackenzie Univercity, a rich school with a lot of rich people 😂
@@InstantEnglishUK I see, I'm not criticizing you. But as other Brazilians have already commented, these are considered wealthy areas where people are expected to be priviledged and well educated. Brazil has a huge social and economical inequality, so people's educational background and even their appearance will vary a lot according to the region you are exploring. (for example, we couldn't see many black or mixed people in your video - they live mainly in the suburbs)
@@InstantEnglishUKNo no, sorry, but you didn't. All those places are priviledged (i live across the street from that university - only the rich ones hang out there). Social inequality here in Brazil is huge, man. That neighborhood is just for rich kid, unfortunately
@@ArthurBuscoExatamente! Hahahah se ele fosse em qualquer outro canto, provavelmente ele não ia conseguir fazer o vídeo
10 years ago, I got a Mortgage here in the US. Now I know a lot about it. Things like escrow account, interest rate, leasing, loan, etc are part of my vocabulary. Living in the US and using the language everyday takes your English to a new level. All the questions in the video look so easy for me now 😊
good for you mate!
2:59 In Brazil we call both the trash bin/can/container/heap _and_ the trash itself as just "o lixo" ("the trash") for short, so I can see where the confusion comes from. I suppose americans at least say it that way as well sometimes, "Throw it in _the trash",_ not sure about people from other countries
It was so nice that you visited our country! I've been watching your videos about a year and It helps me so much to improve my english specially the vocabulary! Thank you!
Oh, I hope my writing is good enough😅
I'm so glad! I had a great time.... on to RIO next!
Oi Bruna, tem uma diferença entre *SPECIALLY* e *ESPECIALLY* em inglês.
Yeah! Fiquei na dúvida entre qual dos dois seria o correto. Pensei que seria "specially" por estar especificando sobre vocabulário mas faz sentido pois há vários vocábulos dentro do tópico vocabulário! Thank you for your help!
Hey Chris, love your videos man! You gotta come to my hometown Brasilia (also known as capital of Brazil). It's so underrated in here. I've been waiting for a video of yours in Brazil ever since I started watching your videos. Cheers!
I’m also from Brasilia! 😂 the video is really cool, come to Brazil more often 👍🏽
he should really come to Brasília, I would love to appear in one of his videos omg
@@00fiction same heheh
The images were easy! For me, the Speaking section would be the hardest, since we hardly speak in english, that means we dont practice at all, so it gets a bit rusty.. Forming phrases while pronouncing them at the same time is hard on a brain that doesnt make it often.
Also, you were on Mackenzie university, which has most of its people from a higher economic and social class, meaning they have a better english level than 90% of the brazilians
Great Video!
Yeah I normally choose students because they are more willing to go on camera. Older people don’t want to be in the video unfortunately
Hey hey I felt represented. Brazil here!! I'm really into your videos.
Thank you! What did you like most about the video?
This video is so nice!!! I’m always happy to meet Brazilians that can speak English! We are always so afraid to make mistakes that this becomes a barrier in our lives when it comes to learn other languages ❤ Keep going guyssss!!!
I'm soo happy after this, these guys are soo good . Appalaude for them 👏🏻
Defo!
Seguindo para aprender o inglês,seus vídeos esta me ajudando muito, obrigado.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you!
Superb! I’m from Brazil and I was surprised by the result, I expected a much lower level.
Next stop Rio
They were on Av. Paulista, if it were anywhere else, I'm sure the level would be lower
Lógico o cara tá na rua da Mackenzie queria ver fazer isso aq em Guaianazes
Really cool seeing our people speaking English. In Brazil they won’t use the language on the daily basis, unless the job or study requires. We learned at school and if you don’t continue you forget. Speak another language gave amazing opportunities at work and I met my Dutch husband!
I want to show that anyone can speak English, you might have mistakes, but that's ok! We all make some mistakes from time to time
I got all of the challenges right😎, most of the guys learn the basics of english in school and then keep improving their knowledge thanks to music,games or foreign youtubers/streamers. Loved ur video,I hope u make more videos in Brasil 🙏☝️🤓
thank you so much mate!
Very impressive. Far better than what would happen if you asked random people in a US city about a non-English language.
omg I was looking forward to seeing this video, so glad that you made this video here in brazil, I wish I was lucky enough to encounter you, but I’m from rio lol. I’m such a fan, you’re nice!
Im recording in RIO today, ipamena beach
My mind blew away with the word "plunger", I ´ve never used it before, so I am very glad I know now. Guys, this is not for you to feel bad, these videos are with the purpose to learn or increase your vocabulary if you love english. Thank you very much!!!!!!!
Thank you so much! i think so people have misunderstood the video, i never criticise anyone and I am only positive with anyone who takes part in the challenge... it is supposed to be a bit of fun that is also educational :)
I learned English by watching TV shows with subtitles, till i finally managed to understand what they were saying without having to read the subs, i'm not 100% fluent, i'd say 90% maybe, but i can easily communicate with any English speaker. The 10% is the expressions, the phrasal verbs that i'm still learning till today, actually but it's understandable considering that there's LOTS AND LOTS of expressions and phrasal verbs in American english 😅😆
And i also speak Spanish, i learned it by watching mexican tv shows😆
Now, my goal is to learn Italian and French 😍
7:19 that is the average quality of an English teacher in Brazil.

Every young Brazilian think they can speak english while they actually can’t. You did a great job showing them they still have a lot to learn and really should study more. (Altough some of them even said they’ve been studying it for 22 years lol)
Well, i think it's about making learning English fun (or any language for that matter). People study for years but the classes are so boring, it kills their motivation. I want to change that!! hopefully you can see my style of teaching is to make it fun, engaging and this builds motivation in my students :)
naming things is easy the most difficult part for me would be to talk
Brazilian speak very well, i love being Brazilian, i'm learning a lot with you ❤
Thank you
that guy nailed it
Matthew é o típico camarada que aprendeu com jogos e o nome dele provavelmente é Matheus.
Costumava dizer que meu nome era Andre (como Erik Andre) até me perguntarem "Did you said your name was Andre or Andreas?" so I explained that although I've always said it was Andre, that Andreas (greek root of the name, in case you're wonderding) is way closer to the portuguese and galician pronounciantion, which is André, more like an in-between both.
So she said me I don't have to "translate" my name or its native syllable stresses when in another language. Nor just cause there would be no matching "translation" for every nut but also, despite Matthew and Matheus being an easier swap, not every Thiago/Tiago (which comes from Yakov) would want to swap to James or even Jacob.
Since then, I'm André and everyone gets the accent right on first try.
Sorry what happened exactly and where was this?
He name is not Mattew, is MA-TEUS or MA-TEUS@@InstantEnglishUK
I’m native in English from the USA and had no idea an eraser is a rubber… It sounds a bit dirty to my American ears.
Totally fine in the UK
My name is Thomaz, i am Brazilian and since i had around 5 years old I study English. My mother enrolled me at an English School, but it not worked too much. After all, I learned English with Americans when i gone to United States. I'm still here, but perhaps i return to Brazil once more time
So nice you came to Brazil, i work near Paulista Avenue. I hope you enjoyed it. I live in Santos, 60km of the capital São Paulo, the town and football team of Pelé and Neymar
Brilliant! What’s santos like?
@@InstantEnglishUKWell, it’s not so big and not so small. Population of almost 500,000 people. We have beach here and it’s hot most part of the year. More safe than the capital São Paulo. One of the bests cities to live in Brazil. 🇧🇷🤝🏼🏴
@@nicknightingale1776safer than the capital? Lol. What a liar 😂😂😂
@@Conservative007 obviously YES! São Paulo has the problems of a big city. Not only when we talk about the homicide rate (2.5 per 100 thousand in Santos x 5.3 in the capital), but also when we analyse the different species of crimes. I lived in São Paulo and nowadays i live in Santos, here we don’t have thieves breaking windows to steal cell phones, for example. Sure, we have crimes here, but the feeling of insecurity is different from the capital.
@@nicknightingale1776 obviously no. Who knows the mentioned areas are well aware that you said nonsense. Everyone knows that Santos is much more dangerous and violent than São Paulo.
That guy can understand and speak so well. Im proud ofhim
Have you seen the RIO video?
The Brazilians tend to speak with american accent. I prefer the british accent and I'm working on it. I love your videos.
What British films or series do you like?
As I Brazilian, I really don't know why we call laptops as "notebooks" here, even in Portuguese.
To be fair I’m a native Canadian and Worcestershire is a running joke because nobody can pronounce it lol
The thing about us Brazilian is that most of us want to learn English but we don't want to put in the hour to achieve fluency. Those few ones who really study every day can get to an excellent level of English, the 4 skills, hands down!
Thanks to visit Brazil!
Thanks for having me
People got tripped up with the AA battery because in Portuguese we use the word "pilha" for that, and "bateria" for ones with a blockier shape (I suppose), so we kind of expect the cognate to not apply
Toda pilha é uma bateria, mas nem toda bateria é uma pilha.
The teacher kinda scared me a bit. The guy at the bar showed he´s acquired a lot of English. Kudos to him!

@@snakermaster1503 haha nah… I’m performing with her 😉
Very interesting, it just goes to show how important it is to be immersed in a language 24/7.
I knew the answer to most of the challenges in this video, mostly because I've lived with my english speaker girlfriend for about 5 years.
What I really still struggle with is using connectives (?) such as: in, on, at, especially with in and on hhaah.
Amazingggg, make more videos like this
I have and I will!
I think there are missing some important things that those who are not Brazilian cannot consider:
1. Here in Brasil, we learn that the laptop is called Notebook in english (even tho its not) and also we commonly use this name for it more then "computador", which is "computer". So its kinda a trick question
2. In some places and some situations in Brasil, most people often call the trashcan ("lixeira") by the same name as the trash ("lixo")
And thats just a few details from this video. So when it comes to learning a new lenguage things can be more complex than it appears.
Thanks for the comment
