Learn Portuguese with Alex Pereira

Learn Portuguese with UFC fighter Alex Pereira! In this video, I break down short clips in Portuguese of Alex talking about his humble beginnings in the fight game, the struggles of being a fighter, as well as how he’s dealt with his knockout loss to Israel Adesanya.

Looks like I'm learning Portuguese now 😅. Best language lesson I have ever seen.

Imagine you have to tell Alex Pereira he put the wrong tires on your car.

[@DecodingWordswithAndrew]

😂 I'd rather drive with wrong tires than eat a switch knee or a left hook lol

[@anglobear2027]

@DecodingWordswithAndrew Riding my f-150 with corolla tires on it out of there and thanking him on my way out.

As a Spanish speaker Pereira makes Portuguese very transparent and easy to understand

Daora de mais essa ideia sua de ensinar com lutadores, tem um monte de br no mma

[@DeanJC100]

Thank you for another great video! Wish you could somehow break down a 2 hour MMA podcast! but realise that would be a very long video haha Ive been learning Portuguese on and off for a year or so but never stay motivated to keep to a routine. But I always enjoy watching MMA interviews in Portguese even if I dont understand most of it! Do you offer private lessons?

[@DecodingWordswithAndrew]

a 2 hour podcast would probably end up being a 10 hour video at least hahaha there's just way too much to explain, not just language-wise, but cultural and fight-specific things as well. I don't really offer private lessons, but I'd love to see how I could help you...shoot me a DM if you'd like.

[@francisyang4718]

Hey Andrew your channel is amazing! Being a MMA fan and a lover for romance languages I learned a lot from you :) Do you mind explaining what's the filler word "b[p]oa" that Alex says a lot? Thanks!

[@DecodingWordswithAndrew]

I appreciate it Francis! If you watch my Anderson Silva video (not the Portuguese vs Spanish one but the other more recent one), I actually explain it there. Basically, “pô” is a euphemism for “porra”, which is used kind of like the F-word in English. In this case, it’s used basically as a filler word, as you mentioned…really common, but it is kinda frowned upon as unrefined speech when overused.

First person to actually pronounce his name correctly.

[@alexmejia8098]

Don’t know why people find it hard to pronounce. The worst by far has to be Chael Sonnen 😂.

[@DecodingWordswithAndrew]

Alex Piera? 😂

@@DecodingWordswithAndrew yup it’s hilarious.
