Excellent teaching. You're superb. Thank you for these great tips. I'll watch this lesson repeatedly. Regarding your "Portuguese Pro" class, I note that it's for those relocating or retiring to Portugal. I'd love to retire to Portugal. I'm working on it. But stll too many uncertainties here at home (USA) to submit my application for your program. Meanwhile, your KZbin short lessons bring me joy and keep me hopeful. Muito obrigado. 🙏

Wonderful! Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it ☺️

[@nesitbotica5919]

Good to know! I can't wait to say "Dorme Bem" and the rather cheeky one "Acordou com os pés fora da cama 🙂. I think "diga" will come in handy, too. Where I live, they seem to always say "bom dia, tudo bem?" (for hello and how are you) and respond with "tudo bem" (all is good). But I'm going to try "Boas, está tuda?" Thank you, Liz!

[@TalktheStreets]

"Bom dia, tudo bem?" is definitely more common! "Boas, está tudo?" is more informal and often said to people we know very well :) De nada!

[@jenniferstrachan7084]

[@nabeeljutt7168]

I like to see your video it’s gone help me

[@Wee_Catalyst]

The Portuguese Pro course is AMAZING, just want to throw that out there as a student I took a very long break because life, but I’m getting back into learning European Portuguese and I’m personally amazed at how much stuck with me in the interim and how much I actually do remember even after not really practicing for months If you really want to learn European Portuguese I HIGHLY recommend learning from Liz!

[@TalktheStreets]

Wow thank you so much! That means a lot! ☺️🌟 and welcome back, you've got this!!

Nobody says ate' mais ! for good bye . we say Adeus or ate' logo . Also nobody says esta' tudo ? for estas bem ? Instead we might say, esta' tudo bem?

[@fernandodejesus255]

to say "Diga" just by itself can be a little rude, you should always add "Se faz favor!". After all, you weren't raised in a barn, were you?

[@B8kedBean]

Weird it's what they say in most bars here, I thought it was a bit abrupt initially but it's more for people when you know them I think

[@TalktheStreets]

Diga is definitely not rude :)

[@JAlves88]

Doesn't sound rude to me. But ppl also told me either rapadiga or guija was not nice. Sorry don't know how to spell the last one. Live in the USA with parents from Tras dos Montes 😂

[@katzenjamma]

I was discussing this very topic with a Portuguese friend the other day, how in English we tend to overemphasise the need for "please." He explained that, often, the "please" is implied in the question itself. For example, in English, "Would you mind doing this?" The please is implied in "would," even more so with, "would you mind." I thought "diga" sounded a bit abrupt, but it's essentially the same as "come again?" in English, which isn't at all rude. Just make sure you're asking a question, using inflection, and not giving a demand.

[@ThePmfatima]

@@JAlves88 "Rapariga" just means girl in Portugal. It's in no way a bad word. "Gaja" isn't a bad word it's just considered somewhat rude (kind of hard to explain why, though).
