Hmm, the link doesn't work for me. "Forbidden"... Is this the same 100 word list that you created some time ago?

[@sobellabg804]

This video was very helpful but the pronunciation of Sem and Até do not sound like European Portuguese but more Brasileiro. Was that an error?

Canadian here 👋my father in law lives in Portugal and we are going to spend a few weeks with him later in the spring. I'm trying to surprise him with some Portuguese so thank you for making my dream possible and with such ease! You're a fabulous teacher! Obrigada!

I'm so glad, wow!!

[@thecreepyconnoisseurs21]

as a US American who has lived in São Paulo, BR for a while, getting this chance to hear the European accents of both English and Portuguese is fun and educational.

[@TalktheStreets]

I'm so glad!

[@jordillach3222]

And the vocabulary and the grammar are quite different too.

[@renancarvalho4324]

Muito bom! I'm a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker and a Portuguese teacher as well. It's so cool to see you producing this beautiful accent from Portugal

Glad you enjoy it!

[@idaliacristino9635]

Why do Brazilians write the same as the portugese but pronunciation is so different?

[@carlferreira6905]

@@idaliacristino9635 I think there are several different factors that have changed the pronunciation of the Portuguese in Brazil. The influence of the Indigenous people, the african slaves, immigration from different countries and above all, Brazilians vandalize any language. Have you heard them using English words but they use them in a :Brazilian way"... Like, they add an "e" to the end of any word that ends in a consonant. i.e. Brad Pitt they say Brade Pitte... weekend, weekende, click, clicke Pit Bull, pite bulle, and so on... I think this is influenced by the Italian immigrants to Brazil because in Italy they do the same. The bad thing, in Portugal, they started to use the same style as Brazilians...

[@user-by5my4kx7l]

@@carlferreira6905 Hi sir How to write God's willing in portuguese

[@carlferreira6905]

​@@user-by5my4kx7l Oxalá (pronounced Oshallah) derived from the Arabic Inshallah. Inshallah is the English version. Meaning: God's willing i.e oxalá que o tempo seja bom amanha (God's willing the weather will be good tomorrow) In a more formal and religious "oxala" is used "que seja a vontade de Deus" or "Que Deus Permita" both sentences have the same meaning. Oxalá is the most common used for God's willing. Hope it helps. Cheers CARL (Toronto, Canada)

It's not easy to speak Portuguese, but her accent, it's not bad at all!

[@peterhenrikgall7382]

It’s very helpful. I make lots of mistakes when it comes to the differentiation between the brazilian and european portuguese accent

[@luisguerreiro9818]

In "Parece", the first "E" should have a different sound than the second "E", as the first one is the "Sílaba tónica"(don't know the name for it in english but it's basically the part of the word that "leads"). So, the last "E" should be read with a more closed mouth, while the first "E" should be read as "É". Thanks for the good content.

[@adiliareis3631]

You're absolutely right !

[@pmsn3674]

Same thing with the verb "esquecer". Depending on what tense it comes up, the two last "e" can sound different

My parents didn’t teach me português and I’ve been learning now and I’m so proud that I already know all these words Meus pais nunca ensina-me o português mas agora eu entendo todos de palavras neste vídeo (não é perfeito eu sei 😅)

[@vcarvalho193]

Posso ajudar? Eu diria : "Os meus pais não me ensinaram português, mas agora compreendo todas as palavras deste vídeo"- Há diferença entre 'entender' e 'compreender'. 'Entender' tem o sentido de 'ouvir corretamente', enquanto 'compreender' significa 'perceber o significado'. No Brasil esta diferença não é notada, sendo usado o termo 'entender' que vc utilizou. Parabéns pelo seu esforço em aprender.

Hi Liz! Great work! I have a question - can we call ''nh'' and ''lh'', respectively, nasal and palatalized kerns, just like under the logic of ''ps'' and ''kn'' in English, even though these refer to different phonologic utterances? Thanks.

[@samaval9920]

Perhaps you could find Portuese & French reference grammars, both books & websites. Portuguese & French are Latin languages, so grammar ,syntax are are similar, but French vocabulary is guide different from Portuguese, Spanish, etc. (See videos by Langfocus & NativLang 2 video channels.)
