A method based in exposure and execution of simple tasks
The X2Talking method will offer you the necessary exposure to the language (even being an online course) and it will provide tasks for you to execute in order to start speaking Portuguese
In a short time, you will be talking to your Brazilian partner, friends, family, work colleagues, and to all Brazilians that are waiting to meet you here in Brazil.
The pillars
X2 Talking Method
Exposure
To learn to speak any language, you need to expose yourself to it. So, to learn to speak Portuguese, you need to expose yourself to natural conversations in Portuguese. This is how your ear gets used to the sounds, the way the language is spoken by the natives, the expressions they use, the vocabulary, the grammar of the language in real contexts of use.
Execution
Following a natural logic, however, we not only need to expose ourselves to audios and real conversations in the foreign language that we are learning, but we also need to perform some actions that helped us to develop our speech. This is where the second part of our method, which we call execution, comes in.
Applying the method - The steps
With the X2 Talking Method, you will always work with some audio of native speakers. And every time you work with a new text - a dialogue, a video, a movie or TV show scene, a podcast episode -, you will apply the following steps.
Step 1: Immersion
The moment to immerse yourself in the language, by listening to audios of native speakers.
Step 2: Unveiling
The moment to immerse yourself in the language, by listening to audios of native speakers.
Step 3: Acting
The moment to immerse yourself in the language, by listening to audios of native speakers.
Step 4: Mirroring
This is the moment in which you will perform a second speaking activity, overlaying the audio with your own speaking.
Step 5: Digging
It's time to take notes and select what is more relevant to study from that specific audio.
Step 6: Cataloging
Now you will select the sentences you judged as important to retain in your memory and you will add them to a SRS (Spaced Repetition System) app.
Step 7: Retaining
At this step, you will have to review the sentences you cataloged into your SRS app daily in order to transport that knowledge from your short-term memory to your long-term memory.
Step 8: Living Experiment
The moment to execute or simulate interactive tasks based on real life situations in order to practice and improve your speaking skills.
Meet your teachers
Teacher Adrieli (or Dri for Yeppers) is married to Otávio who is also a member of Yes Portuguese School team. They have one daughter, Emma, who is 2 years old. They live in Carangola, in the state of Minas Gerais, in Brazil.
Teacher Ludmila (or Lud for Yeppers) is
married to Victor who is also part of our big family. They live in Juiz de Fora, also in the state of Minas Gerais, in Brazil.
Teachers Dri and Lud are Brazilians and they both have a PhD degree in Linguistics. They met at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, when they were taking their master's degree. After that, they did a lot of researches together, including their PhDs. They also did part of their PhDs in Sweden and it was during that time that they came with the idea of creating Yes Portuguese School.
Dri and Lud then applied their scientific background and their own experience as language teachers and language students to develop the X2Talking Method, which is the most effective way to learn a foreign language.
Leveling up
We name our levels after the titles you can get in the sport by winning championships. Studying a foreign language is a competition, although we are often competing with ourselves. But every word learned, every new phrase, is a victory. That's why you deserve the title of champion, two-time champion, tri, tetra or five-time champion (like Brazil at the FIFA World Cup).
