[@lindabotelho1087]

Thanks a million for the six practical tips given by you to learn to speak Portuguese fluently. I feel that they are real guiding lights.God bless you in abundance.Thanks a million. 👌🙏

Obrigada Linda! Boa semana.

About the last tip. This is why the more languages you know, the easier it is to learn new languages. I know Ukrainian, Russian, English and Polish and it is super easy for me to find associations and shortcuts both in grammar and vocabulary. Learning languages is the most useful thing ever)

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

Glad you liked my last tip and find it useful! I'm so impressed, keep up with the good work. Are you learning European Portuguese now?

[@jasmineowen7443]

I've just started to learn Portuguese more for fun and to learn a second language. These tips are going to be very useful. Many thanks.

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

Glad to hear! Boa semana.

Otimo lição, eu encontrei RTP muito rapido para me. Eu vou tentar o sabio. Normalmente, a primeria hora é ouvindo a notícias. Obrigado.

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

Obrigada e bons estudos!

[@Gmailiciousful]

This was incredibly helpful. Your professionalism and educator shines through brilliantly. Thank you!

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

Wow, thank you!

[@davidstoeckl6439]

Wonderful tips. I'd be wary to associate a word like Advocado with avocado. That word combo becomes guacamole in my brain. Advocado/Attorney reminds me of the English word Advocate. I expect both come from the same Latin root. Equating Advocado with Advocate would make more sense inside by brain. I really appreciated your first tool - to speak aloud words and phrases. Nothing points out my holes in learning better than trying and failing. If I was an actor, (I'm not), I would repeat my lines over and over out loud to learn them. It's not hard to see the same results learning a language. Thanks again.

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

Thanks for your comment! Agree that advocate works too! Just note that in Portuguese is advogado, with a G. Boa semana!

Boa tarde Sandra e tudo....if you are not into "novelas" here are two alternative with subtitles on RTP catch up that might be suitable. Momentos Selvagens has ten, 50-minute episodes. It's very visual and they speak with gaps in between sentences which is great for my brain to catch up with what I hear without being overwhelmed with the speed needed to process normal, informal dialogue. The other is Tesouros da Europa, also with subtitles.

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

Advogado sounds like advocate, which is what a lawyer will do for you. The latin root is extremely helpful recognizing a word meaning. I don't know how avocado relates to lawyer.

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

I understand your comment. The “avocado” example has more to do with the sound of the word.

Obrigada! Thanks for taking the time to comment on my videos. Boa noite!

[@planetrachel]

Hi - my tip, (maybe more of an aspiration than something I achieve lots) is to carry around a slip of paper with my most awkward vocabulary issues of the day written on it - then throughout the day I can give it a quick peek and try and nail the problem words. Each day a new list, but the key thing is not too many words, but making sure of checking on them regularly. And the other one is learn Portuguese with your husband - we speak Portuguese to each other every day over breakfast, just chatting about our day ahead, thoughts, ideas etc. Might not be accurate but it's fun learning and you find gaps in how to phrase things.

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

Hi Rachel! Those are 2 great ideas. Taking notes of your struggles is huge! I ask my students to do the same when they watch tv, specially with closed captions. That way you can easily take notes and discuss them. Is a fun and productive way to learn. Thanks for sharing!

I watched you with the Lisbon Diaries lady. I was curious about how you cover up your Portuguese accent...after all you lived there 23 years.

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

Hi Roman! Good question! I see myself as a pure bilingual. I lived in the US until I was 9 and until then I spoke mostly English. I would visit the US regularly so never lost touch with the English. However, some people tell me I do have a bit of an accent.

[@romancruz9231]

@@learneuropeanportuguese Well, I'm impressed with your Vlog and the Amalgam of style, warmth, expertise and that "je ne sais quoi" (não sei o que or não sei quem, or none of them? 😆 lol). I was born in Serpa to a Luso- American mother ( so, I can run for President 😆) and an Alentejano Pai. I returned to California, circa a year. Yet, my Umbilical Cord was never severed. I returned in '70, '72, and to study in '74 through '76. Then in '81- '82, '85 and lastly 1990. However, if I had your level of Portuguese fluency, it would have made my Portuguese Odysseys easier 😋 😄 😊. My Portuguese is horrible, yet I can't shake my accent and I'm nowhere fluent in Portuguese...more like a Rude Alentejanoese. However, I am going to sit in the front row of your Portuguese Classes.

[@learneuropeanportuguese]

@@romancruz9231 Thanks for sharing your personal story. It can he hard when you are back and forth. My English get's better each day, thanks to my students but I do feel more comfortable speaking and expressing myself in Portuguese. I am so happy you enjoy my videos. Obrigada e bom fim de semana! PS: My grandfather was from Évora and my last name Carapinha is from Alentejo.

Hello Sandra, yours is a great site but why " Faster " I think learning should be a pleasure. Why set up hurdles at the start ? What is the hurry ? I think people should go slow to help it " stick ". Slow and easy does the job otherwise you could miss important information.

Portuguese has two dialects: Brazilian Portuguese and European/standard Portuguese. I didn’t make up the name. I hope you are enjoying my videos!

[@LFMC1]

@@learneuropeanportuguese Portuguese from Portugal ( the real deal) is not a dialect, "portuguese" from Brasil can be considered a dialect as they don't speak portuguese, they use portuguese to speak something else. Wrong use of verbs, wrong meaning of terms, silly idiomatic expressions, etc. Following your logic, african portuguese is missing. Quite a few of them! Oh and asian portuguese too!

[@LFMC1]

@TaoDJ I'm so sorry but you're the true and only asshole around here. You seem to be an expert in portuguese language but you're not! Brasilian people disrespects so badly portuguese grammar that they've arrived to the point of not understanding, at all, portuguese from Portugal! I repeat; verbes wrongly used, meanings completely obliterated and even inverted, sily idiomatic expressions, etc and etc. All other portuguese language countries respect correct portuguese whitch is the only way to promote and preserve it. Plus, portuguese DOES NOT have dialects, it has different PRONOUNCIATIONS.
