Can Brazilians understand these languages?

[@justoliver77]

Ohhh a new video format, I look forward to it! Brilliant Work!

[@kevindasilvagoncalves468]

Most of us brazilians don't have much contact with foreign languages apart from some music and films. We were (kind of) a country of immigrants but not anymore. Having some basic english is something from the youngest generations only.

[@FOLIPE]

Even when we were a "country of immigrants" it was only for a couple decades and in a small part of the country, even in the southern states the proportion of immigrants was not higher than 10% of the population at peak moments which were very short (by comparison in many European countries the national average is 15-20% nowadays and has been rising for decades).

[@fspr6527]

Sim, nossos pais não tinha essa ferramenta que temos que é a internet, pode se aprender outras línguas e se divertir ao mesmo tempo assistindo filmes e séries estrangeiras e mesmo jogando video games (devo 80% do que sei de inglês aos videogames, sou da geração ps2 em que os jogos na sua maioria não vinham traduzidos como os de hj em dia, era praticamente uma obrigação dominar ao menos algumas palavras chave em inglês para ir se passando as fases), mas nossa geração só assiste séries dubladas e jogam jogos dublados por preguiça de aprender outros idiomas

Uma vantagem que o português tem sobre o inglês e o francês... os nativos desse idioma tem maior inteligibilidade com línguas do mesmo tronco familiar... exemplo: quem fala português pode entender na forma oral (total, quase total ou parcial) idiomas como galego, espanhol, catalão, italiano e romeno. Quem fala inglês e francês praticamente não entende idiomas germânicos e latinos na forma oral...

O francês também é latino, outra coisa é que esteja extremamente bagunçada na pronúncia.

So it was not hard for me too but not hearing but reading tasks in Italian, French & Romanian! I think it was quite easy for me 'cause I can read Italian a little, & I know English & Swedish (but in this case it has no use). I' d like to present me. I am tatar ethnically & I was bilingual since that period I'd begun speakin'. The thing is I was born in Russian speaking city named Moscow. So I can speak Russian as fluent as native Russians.

Interesting experiment. As a Brazilian guy who does not speak any of those languages, I can tell that I had a similar result to thoses people, although I understood the examples in French and in Italian a little bit faster than they did, I was surprise that I got right the French item (French is not intelligible to Portuguese speakers). The Romanian audio was the hardest one to undertand, just like them, I also thought that it was talking about one slipper and not a shoe.

[@alanguages]

The sound system of French resembles Portuguese more than Italian and Romanian. French and Portuguese use the nasal sound.

[@pedrocosta2860]

@@alanguages Although that is true, generally speaking, I'd say that could understand Italian better.

Can you do EU Portuguese or any other Portuguese worldwide, perhaps from Africa? Thank you

[@kimpanther]

The Italian speaker in the audio has a distinct southern accent mixing s/z and p/b and does not enunciate 'manubrio' and 'sella' (which almost sounds like Senna) correctly. In short, this makes it harder for foreign speakers. Using a standard accent would have made it easier. The word 'sellino' exists in Italian and it's closer to Portuguese 'selim'. On the other hand, I'm surprised the Brazilian woman could not recognize 'aria aperta' (ar aberto?).

[@palomacarnielli]

Acho que a tradução para aria aperta é Área aberta. Eu também não entendi como ela não reconheceu esse termo.

[@kimpanther]

@@palomacarnielli aria = air / area = area
