[@marioc.7714]

I’m Portuguese. From the Azores. I love the way you speak English. And the way you speak Portuguese is really outstanding. Keep up the good work.

[@TalktheStreets]

Muito obrigada!

[@fernandotavares1337]

Obrigado! I was born in Portugal but immigrated to U. S. 60+ years ago and I am ashamed that you speak better than I. Continue the good work!

[@TalktheStreets]

Thank you!

[@janetrevellbarrett6031]

I am traveling in Portugal at the moment. Before I left the states, I practiced these 30 phrases and listened to your terrific video multiple times. I am having such fun rolling these out, and watching the look of surprise when I am actually understood. Thank you for these useful videos, which I will recommend to others.

[@TalktheStreets]

Wonderful, I'm so glad!

[@bikramthapa480]

Nunca vi um professor no KZbin que falasse inglês puro, português como você. Muito obrigado senhora por me ensinar tanto. Regards from Bikram Thapa all the way from South Eastern, Barahakshetra Municipality, Sunsari district Nepal. Tenho observado você desde os últimos quatro anos no KZbin. Você é meu melhor professor.

[@kevinmurphy5682]

Just a note to thank you Liz for the time and obvious effort you've put into making these videos. We have just returned from our first (most certainly not our last visit) and your videos, my dreadful pronunciation, and willingness to engage the local folks made our vacation. The 30 day challenge, numbers and survival Portuguese all added to our enjoyment of a brilliant country! Thanks again

[@TalktheStreets]

Thank you so much, I'm so glad!! :)

00:13 🗣 Overcoming the fear of speaking is crucial for language learners to avoid staying in an expat bubble and truly experience authentic culture. 00:55 🏊 Quick language progress is akin to jumping into cold water - initially shocking, but immensely rewarding and confidence-boosting. 01:33 🗓 Introduces a 30-day practical Portuguese challenge with 30 phrases, emphasizing small, practical steps to build speaking confidence. 02:01 📥 Viewers encouraged to download the PDF with phrases and audio for daily practice during the challenge, with a focus on building real-life conversational skills. 03:37 🚶 Teaches polite phrases for navigating through crowds: "cona" for asking permission to pass and "disculpe" for apologizing. 04:39 🛒 Useful phrases for daily life, including asking for the bathroom and inquiring about card payments, highlighting practical communication needs. 05:58 🕰 Teaches asking for the time, suggesting it as a useful way to initiate conversations with locals. 08:03 📖 Recommends improving vocabulary by asking, "How do I say it in Portuguese?" when pointing to objects. 11:33 🤔 Encourages asking "What is this?" to seek assistance and enhance vocabulary. 12:33 🚇 Teaches asking for directions to the nearest metro station, essential for navigation. 15:49 💨 If on a bus and wanting to open a window, instructs viewers to ask, "Pode abrir a janela?" 16:57 🇵🇹 Introduces a phrase for learners who might struggle with replies, allowing them to express they are learning Portuguese.

[@PetitChat6588]

Cona is a swear word in Portuguese so definitely DO NOT use that to ask for permission to pass.. that would be com licença. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@MamadouSylla-e5d]

Hi , I just moved to portugal lisboa and your videos are so helpful.

[@claudiasantos7491]

I am from Brazil and just found your channel, I am learning portuguese dialect/accent, thank you, your portuguese is marvelous, I love it. Obrigada!

[@TalktheStreets]

You're very welcome!

[@pedrosousa3563]

I'm fascinated by this video. Rarely someone does portuguese pronunciation. Of course there are some details to work on but you are almost Portuguese. Many congratulations on your work. You have a fan. Finally someone knows that "João" is pronouced like "awn" and not "Aw". Very good indeed. Keep up the good job! Anything you need, feel free to ask!

[@TalktheStreets]

Muito obrigada pelo comentário! Fico muito feliz 😊

[@zeynepela9762]

Once again great content presented brilliantly! Muito obrigada Liz.

[@TalktheStreets]

You're so welcome!

[@lucioflaviodemagalhaesbrito]

2:29 No Brasil, alguns vendedores podem desejar brincar quando usamos “queria um café”. Eles podem dizer brincando “não quer mais café então?” Mas funciona. Queria um café, um pão com manteiga…

[@lucioflaviodemagalhaesbrito]

3:55 No Brasil quando o pedido de licença é apressado, você pode ouvir somente a palavra “licença pfv”. Pfv=por favor.

[@lucioflaviodemagalhaesbrito]

7:20 No Brasil você pode dizer “que horas são”. Isso soa como “oração”. Alguns engraçadinhos podem responder dizendo “Ave Maria”, como referência à “Oração”. Se acontecer, não ligue, logo depois dizem a hora certa.

[@afrocyberdelia]

Ora pro nobis = pereskia😂

[@nargisalmas2359]

obrigada eu for teaching in such a nice way

[@louiselamoureux8688]

yes thanks

[@ogator8642]

I am just about to get on a plane from Toronto to Ponta Delgada. I will use all of these phrases and many more. Obrigado, Liz.

[@TalktheStreets]

So exciting! Let me know how you get on!

[@Iamamber777]

This is nini I like the way you speak English and the way you translate to Portuguese ❤

[@TalktheStreets]

Obrigada!

[@adrianwhyatt1425]

Great for revision! For some of us there's no metro nearby....so will need to substitute a estaçāo de comboio (the train station) or a paragem (de autocarro) (the bus) stop.

[@TalktheStreets]

Good idea!

[@stephencollinge976]

Thank you Liz, hopefully some of these phrases will stick in my head.Repetition is the key i think.

[@TalktheStreets]

Absolutely!

[@johncanter6584]

I have many Brazilian in Japan, apologies early because. They all will all listen to me practicing with them.

[@ErhanŞimşek-c2f]

we just started to learn Portuguese and it is good fun to follow your lessons

[@TalktheStreets]

I'm so glad!

[@lucioflaviodemagalhaesbrito]

3:20 No Brasil podemos usar também o “eu que agradeço”.

[@chanitasusewi7960]

You're fantastic! I absolutely loved this video! muito obrigada!!

[@TalktheStreets]

De nada!! :)

[@lucioflaviodemagalhaesbrito]

13:26 que legal, que jóia, que bacana, da hora, também se ouve no Brasil.

[@kennedwardtenorio]

All these restaurant phrases are the most helpful! Obrigadíssimo, Liz! 💯

[@TalktheStreets]

Glad it was helpful!

[@chrisboa]

Thank you for this one, Liz. I really enjoyed it and have a good feeling to make progress finally 🙏

[@TalktheStreets]

You're so welcome!

[@DianeMacartney]

Hi Liz - In October I'm going to visit two of the Azore Islands, Sao Miguel and Pico, so I"ve been watching a couple of your videos to learn basic Portugese phrases. Really enjoying them, and will practice, practice !

[@TalktheStreets]

That's awesome!

[@riodacruz]

Thank you for your explanation and your explanation was helpful i feel understand. Keep going do it more

[@chipandmargerandall1813]

Just found your site. Perfect for my upcoming trip to Portugal in September. Thanks, Chip

[@TalktheStreets]

Awesome!

[@aeb3598]

This video makes me want to learn more Portuguese. I like your style!

[@TalktheStreets]

Awesome, I'm so glad! My free lesson for beginners is a great place to get started: www.talkthestreets.com/speak-portuguese-like-a-pro

[@dereckwainwright3965]

Thanks for a fantastic tutorial.

[@asmithmdskate]

Thanks for this video - as this morning I was trying to find where I'd printed the 30 phrases! Your course is great, and I'm still learning and reviewing!

[@TalktheStreets]

Fantastic! Thank you so much!

[@leonardocosta730]

Muito obrigado por trazer o café. Onde fica o banheiro. Pode trazer o cardápio por favor.

[@TalktheStreets]

Frases muito úteis! Just a couple of small changes: banheiro should be casa de banho, and cardápio, even though it is correct, it's not so popular - so I recommend "carta" or "menu" :)

[@leonardocosta730]

Obrigado. Trabalho em uma empresa de Portugal, a EDP.

[@costagodwin1436]

How much for the course?

[@srgtv9705]

é realmente um vídeo muito informativo

[@nurealam-q9y]

vídeo muito útil para aprender a língua portuguesa

[@TalktheStreets]

[@toro_bravo_80]

[@debasishganguly31]

Thanks, enjoying 😉

[@TalktheStreets]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@HelenFyles]

Obrigada❤!

[@parvez007vhora7]

Your learning awesome Portuguese language ❤

[@lucioflaviodemagalhaesbrito]

5:06 até logo ou até mais, também podem ser ouvidos no Brasil.

[@skurinski]

mas estamos a falar de Portugal não do Brasil, portanto não sei porque está a responder...

[@lucioflaviodemagalhaesbrito]

Só porque eu posso. Ou não posso?

[@lorimagnificent8329]

I’m looking forward to trying to learn some of the phrases. Thank you so much!

[@TalktheStreets]

You're so welcome!

[@lucioflaviodemagalhaesbrito]

6:35 Brasil você pode dizer também “fecha a minha conta” ou “a conta pfv”.

[@94503poizon]

Que giro! I loved that one. LOL - I already used that one 3 times in the last hour. Seriously, you always provide wonderful commentary and practical application on how to use phrases.

[@TalktheStreets]

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it!

[@sangeetaS7]

Obrigada, I now try to talk to myself.

[@ahmadwaqas334]

I really appreciate your work obrigada

[@TalktheStreets]

You are so welcome!

[@yogainfo]

That was amazing! Obrigado.

[@lucioflaviodemagalhaesbrito]

12:45 “Não tem problema” ou “sem problema” também se houve no Brasil.

[@afrocyberdelia]

"se ouve". O "H" não é usado nessa palavra ALICANTE SPAIN

[@inesmartins3101]

"Ouve" diferente de "houve" Houve com "H" é o verbo haver no pretérito perfeito.

[@lucioflaviodemagalhaesbrito]

Verdade, o sentido é “ouvir” de audição, aparelho auditivo.

[@lucioflaviodemagalhaesbrito]

No Brasil você poder ouvir simplesmente “quer sentar?”. É comum no metrô de São Paulo, quando alguém oferece o assento a um idoso.

[@RodrigoFlrSouza]

Meu amigo, não me leve a mal mas, aparentemente você gostou muito do vídeo da professora, respondendo a todas as questões com o "jeitão" brasileiro, não faça isso em excesso, pode confundir quem está aprendendo pois o foco é o Português Europeu

[@magbstyle]

Yes! 💯

[@muiliechan2233]

Quero aprender..

[@anoushsharifi5198]

YES

[@mdbahermerchantuddin6881]

[@TalktheStreets]

I'm so glad! My weekly YT lessons return next Tuesday!

[@davesylvia1162]

yes, especially with my pronunciation. People think I'm a native and start rattling off rapid conversation! Scary for me.

[@andrearapp47]

This is kind of a random comment, but I've been writing my grocery list in Portuguese and it's really helped my vocabulary

[@TalktheStreets]

That's a great tip!

[@OphirYahav]

Muito obrigado pelo video muito util. Feliz e Próspero Ano Novo.

[@jackcarew1992]

This is such a great video! Which excuse me is better for getting a waiters attention? Or is there a better phrase for this? Obrigado!

[@TalktheStreets]

Muito obrigada! For a waiter's attention you can simply say "Desculpe" or even "Por favor". "Com licença" is not used in this context. :)

[@tobylee503]

With Esta with annotation the A has an r sound and com the m sounds more like an n

[@lucioflaviodemagalhaesbrito]

10:46 Brasil = Pode me deixar aqui. Fico aqui mesmo.

[@qamaruddin9352]

I am Qamar from Pakistan.i like your lesson for portageez language.kindly recommend me as a beginner.

[@bri_____1970]

Thanks for the video. I question the approach of memorising phrases though. Not sure how they help when you can't keep the conversation going. You get this a lot with tourists, they open the conversation, sounding super proficient in Portuguese but when you reply to them, all you see in a blank look on their faces.

[@TalktheStreets]

Of course! This is just to get people started and should be used as a complement to a comprehensive program. :)

[@ann61610]

Mam i really like the way you teaching its just awesome god bless you 😊

[@TalktheStreets]

It's my pleasure!

[@juliotilman5503]

Yes❤

[@afrocyberdelia]

Portuguese, much like English, offers great freedom in the choice of accent. If someone wants to learn this language, they can choose to focus on European Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, or African Portuguese, reflecting the diversity of the Lusophone world. This freedom is similar to what we find in English: it’s possible to learn a British, American, African, Australian, or even Indian accent. Today, thanks to the internet, everyone has access to this rich variety of pronunciations, making language learning even more exciting and personalized. French doesn’t offer as much variety - does that perhaps feel frustrating for you?

[@christylifie1974]

TOP!👍👍❤️
