Muitos falantes de inglês como segunda língua têm dificuldade em entender crianças falando em inglês por causa do timbre de voz das crianças e da maneira como elas pronunciam palavras. E já que phrasal verbs e expressões idiomáticas fazem parte do inglês cotidiano, obviamente crianças anglofônicas os usam constantemente também. Meu aluno, que já é fluente em inglês, me mostrou o seguinte vídeo e pediu para eu ajudá-lo a entender tudo o que este menininho disse. Achei que você se interessaria também.

What did you think of the little boy? Did you like the video we sent you today? Please say hello and comment below.
Hi Tim. This kid is a real character !! Those videos from real life make all the diference!!
Let me tell you, last Sunday we had this earthquake here in northern California, but since it happened about 3:00 a.m We were sleeping. Well, the fact is, just because You (guys) taught me sometime ago, I knew the correct expression to define it….” I slept through it”.
Thank you again and again for your great job Barrets!!
PS: Hopefully we are just fine, we live about 60 miles from the epicenter.
That is scary!! When I was a baby, my family experienced an earthquake in Knoxville, TN; and it wasn’t pleasant! So glad you are all ok – and that you slept through the whole ordeal!

i just loved the kid’s voice – very high-pitched. He is the most adorable ginger haired kid ever! I’d love to see more of him.
He *is* cute. I’ll need to see if there are any other videos with him. (I hope they don’t spoil him; though.)
