If you think you need to speak English like a native to get a job, that is a barrier that only exists in your mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Understand and be understood<\/strong> are the only things you really need.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>That is really it. If you can understand someone speaking in English and if people can understand you speaking English even with your accent (<strong>everybody<\/strong> has an accent) you are ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nothing replaces a course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every once in a while we hear about some superheroes that learned how to speak English all by themselves. That is not the reality for most people though. There are at least two things you most likely have only by attending a course:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Writing practice<\/strong> &#8211; Only by practicing you will learn some irregular verbs&#8217; past forms (<em>think &gt; thought<\/em>), how do you spell some words, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Grammar<\/strong> &#8211; Knowing the basics will make your life easier when you don&#8217;t understand a word but get the overall context.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&#8217;t need a 15-year course, that is not my point. You do need to be sure you have the basics of writing and grammar structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Movies, TV shows, games, and code <em>lives<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I was super afraid of entering into a meeting and not understanding a word people were saying. I started watching TV shows and YouTube videos. First with English subtitles, then with no subtitles at all. This exercise helped me and it still helps me a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Code lives on Twitch also help a lot. There you will <em>hear<\/em> some jargons that you only <em>read<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some examples that worked for me. At the time I gave the talk I was watching Andor, today I&#8217;d say <em>The Last of Us<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.disneyplus.com\/pt-br\/series\/star-wars-andor\/3xsQKWG00GL5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/felipeelia.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2833\" width=\"405\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/felipeelia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image.png 414w, https:\/\/felipeelia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-300x167.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 405px) 100vw, 405px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Andor (Disney+)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@gameranxTV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"414\" height=\"231\" src=\"https:\/\/felipeelia.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/felipeelia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-3.png 414w, https:\/\/felipeelia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-3-300x167.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 414px) 100vw, 414px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Gameranx (YouTube)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@SirZanny\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/felipeelia.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2835\" width=\"405\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/felipeelia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-2.png 414w, https:\/\/felipeelia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-2-300x167.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 405px) 100vw, 405px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Zanny (YouTube)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/ryanwelchercodes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"414\" height=\"231\" src=\"https:\/\/felipeelia.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2837\" srcset=\"https:\/\/felipeelia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-4.png 414w, https:\/\/felipeelia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-4-300x167.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 414px) 100vw, 414px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">RyanWelcherCodes (Twitch)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Real life<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Courses, YouTube videos, TV shows&#8230; none of that really prepares you for real life. In real life you will need to deal with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Acronyms and expressions<\/strong> &#8211; These folks really love acronyms. <em>EOD<\/em>, <em>ASAP<\/em>, and AFAIK are some of them but you will see a lot of new ones when you start. Expressions like <em>Ballpark estimates<\/em> are also part of this item.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Broken audio<\/strong> &#8211; In a movie everybody hears each other without any noise. In real life the video freezes, the audio breaks up, and more. Expressions like <em>Do you mind saying that again?<\/em> or <em>You broke up a bit<\/em> I only heard after attending meetings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Accents<\/strong> &#8211; I am lucky to be part of a very plural team. We have American, German, Indian, Hungarian, Mexican, and more. Sometimes it is hard to get one or two explanations but instead of faking you understood, it is better to say <em>I\u2019m not sure I follow\u2026<\/em> and ask them to explain it in a different way. This happens more than people imagine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t know how courses outside Brazil work but here we learn something like <em>How are you? I&#8217;m fine, thanks, and you?<\/em> In real life, no one really uses that. Pay attention to others and adapt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When I joined the company, I almost gave up!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve been part of 10up for 3 years now but I almost quit in my first weeks. We have a daily standup and it was nearly impossible for me to understand one of my colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I brought that to my leadership team and they told me it was normal and that I would get used to it. I really got used to it after a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>It can be hard in the beginning. <strong>Do not give up!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a tip: <strong>always be frank, and never pretend you understood<\/strong>. Companies really value people who know how to communicate well and (as weird as it may sound) part of good communication is saying when something needs to be explained in a different way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to Google Translate, there are at least two tools that help me a lot on a daily bases and I think it is worth sharing with you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"506\" height=\"289\" src=\"https:\/\/felipeelia.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2838 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/felipeelia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-5.png 506w, https:\/\/felipeelia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-5-300x171.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 506px) 100vw, 506px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>Grammarly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grammarly is a service that helps while writing in English.

It doesn&#8217;t need to be a 10 years course, but a structured study with a few months at least.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Watching something you like<\/strong> as YouTube videos, TV shows, and movies help a lot but with subtitles in English or no subtitle at all. Code lives are also interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nothing replaces real-life experience.<\/strong> Expressions and trivial problems are not represented in movies and series, so be prepared to learn a lot at the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also told a little about my bumpy start and how I almost quit in the first weeks. <strong>It is important to persist, it is worth it!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, we saw some <strong>tools<\/strong> you will want to keep near you when communicating in a different language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>This was just the first part! <strong>Subscribe to the newsletter and follow me on social networks<\/strong> to be updated about part 2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is my English good enough?
