as a chinese who is learning portugese, your way of teaching is so much better to understand the real portuguese language. i have learned so much from you. thank you for the great job.

[@DecodingWordswithAndrew]

Obrigado Weidong!

[@ducciwucci]

This is saving my life currently. I've been studying Spanish for a decade, and the process of learning Portuguese has been more about unlearning Spanish pronunciation. It's interesting how similar they are, while being so completely different. Thank you for your help!

[@DecodingWordswithAndrew]

So great to hear it's helping you!!

[@rubykwokful]

That’s the same for me! I am trying to learn Portuguese but always got confused with the pronunciation!

[@changveronicas]

exactly!! same same but different! it’s like a tongue twister!

[@EchoCyanide]

I'm with you. Learning the words is super easy since I know a lot of Spanish. The pronunciation is MUCH harder. This video is definitely helpful but even so, I find myself slipping into Spanish pronunciation when trying to follow along with him.

[@Jamesulchip]

I've just started Portuguese (I teach French and Spanish by profession). Your channel is the GOAT for learning Portuguese! Subscribed!

[@DecodingWordswithAndrew]

Wow, I appreciate that!!! Glad to be a part of your Portuguese journey!

[@Zeal808]

Oh my gosh i love how Portuguese sounds 😊. So cool! I have Portuguese heritage. It’s been beautiful learning history and language. Thank you!

[@DecodingWordswithAndrew]

So cool!

[@johnmcmanus8764]

Really helpful in eliminating, or at least reducing, the interference I still have from having learnt Spanish.

[@DecodingWordswithAndrew]

Yes, definitely a double-edged sword coming to Portuguese from Spanish

Óla, Andrew 😊 I found you have succeeded in creating a perfect teaching method for Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation 👌🏼 I am completely enamored and have lost my heart to this beautiful language 💚💙💛🤍 You are truly dedicated and give your whole captivating personality to us 🫶🏼 Muito obrigada I’m so happy I found your excellent, very clear video tutorials 🙏 P.S. It would be fun to hear how you pronounce my name, which is Sirkku Talvikki Kurikkala Quite a lot of K-letters 😉😉

[@DecodingWordswithAndrew]

Thank you so much! I think I could maybe say “Sirkku” :)

[@zenonorris5231]

Your videos are the most helpful I’ve seen so far! Keep it up, big fan!!

[@DecodingWordswithAndrew]

Glad you find them useful, Zeno! Let me know if there's a specific type of video format that you especially like so that I can make more of them. Trying to take this channel more seriously and upload consistently instead of posting once every few months, so any input is greatly appreciated! -Andrew

[@zenonorris5231]

@@DecodingWordswithAndrew your format is great! It’s hard to find videos with spoken/conversational Portuguese so your videos are so helpful in that regard!! Do you offer classes or private lessons?

[@DecodingWordswithAndrew]

I don't offer classes, but more and more people have been asking about creating a course, which I might consider. Right now I just want to focus on building out my library of content on YT. In any case, I'd love to take this conversation offline so I can pick your brain to see how I can better tailor my content...if you're down, hit me up on IG or Twitter!
