ENGLISH vs EMBROMATION - Featuring Mr. Adriano Rougemont!

Good afternoon everybody!!!
We have been talking about fluency lately and today we continue discussing the topic...But in a very different way!
THE TIME OUT PROJECT 2011 is pleased to feature ADRIANO ROUGEMONT, also known as the "Brazilian Ewok"drunk and singing JEREMY, from the grunge band PEARL JAM!
Why did I decide to post it? Well, first of all, I laugh my ass off listening to it. Secondly, it reminds us of how important it is not to EMBROMATE, but how nice it is to try to imitate the sounds and the intonation! Finally, ADRIANO's bizarre interpretation helps us understand how important it is to dedicate time to learning english properly!
Check it out:



ENJOY!!!!!!
