Having been tutored by Jéssica in the last several months, I can say that she is a dynamo and super fun to work with. Uses music and other media to make it fun and interesting depending on what you’re looking for. A lovely person as well!

Muito obrigada Julia! 🙏 It was an amazing ride that we took and I feel so excited for you. Your progress was wonderful to witness and I loved how you decided to face your fears and start speaking with more clarity at restaurants, cafés, supermarkets and with locals.

As an American who lived in Brazil for years I was surprised how hard this was to understand. I will be going to Portugal soon so hopefully I can get accustomed to this accent.

yeh at first sight seemed to me a totally different language from the brazilian sotaque at which am used to. with the time you get used to portuguese sotaque

I found this video just because I have been searching to find a sample of Portuguese spoken, and I find that it is very beautiful. It is like listening to a peaceful song. I have not begun learning Portuguese but I would be interested to start one day.

I just listening without have a clue.. I love this language ❤

The portuguese language to me sounds so beautiful, especially southern dialect. Nonetheless I'm having big trouble understanding you guys, I deeply fell in love with Portugal and its people. Since my home is Germany, the overall authentic kindness and soulfulness I encountered in PT is a big contrast to people's mentality here. Saudações da Alemanha!

Don't worry. There is an explanation for that. Current German language, Hochdeutsch, is an artificial language created for administrative reasons, it was never meant to be spoken language. It was used just for writing letters between the years 1700-1850. Around 1850 emerged the first native speakers, since Hochdeutsch was being learned in the school since 1800, and some freaks decided to speak to their children in that language instead in their own language, Saxon or Platduutch... Since Hochdeutsch has ridiculous grammar, putting verbs on the end of the sentence, Wortstellung etc, brain of the kids got alternative development. So nowadays, if you watch brainscan of people from all around the world, everyone has the same brain activity, apart from Germans and Austrians, they have 4 times higher left hemisphere activity and right hemisphere is switched off. That makes Germans 4 times more clever than anyone else but behaving like robots, it's not always a good idea to switch half of the brain off....

This is great! Thanks and I love that you added the quiz to check our comprehension.

Vi este vídeo e resolvi seguir-te. Eu tou nos Estados Unidos já faz quase 8 anos. Saí de Portugal com 9 anos. Após chegar na América fiz 10. Já vou fazer 18. É difícil encontrar um português aqui. vez mais portugueses em Brockton ou na Providência, mas eu tou em Connecticut ent é difícil. Também como saí quando era muito nova, não sei muito sobre a nossa história é triste pq sei mais da América. Quero muito melhorar meu português pra não esquecer e melhorar a minha gramática em inglês e em português. Tmb tou a estudar espanhol na aula e tenho vergonha de falar. Obrigada por este vídeo. Quero muito ter amigos de Portugal para me ajudar a não esquecer as minhas raízes/meu país.

When you speak with us in English, you are very precise and slower than when you talk in Portuguese. Can you please slow down a little so’s I can follow. Your channel is excellent by the way, this is what’s needed, real people having real conversations, so obrigada. 😊🌸. p.s just subscribed.

Olá! Obrigada por este diálogo! Vou só dizer que a tradução correcta de "lá fora" é "abroad", não é "outside". Abroad = país estrangeiro, outside = espaço exterior, natureza

This type of content is fantastic! Just listening to conversational Portuguese (not scripted) is incredibly helpful. It would be amazing, though, if you could add subtitles in Portuguese. (The “auto generated“ captions are probably not very accurate.) It would be SUPER amazing if you could add Portuguese AND English subtitles (dual subtitles like you did for your questions, but for the whole video.) I know this would be a lot of work, but it would be super awesome and I would watch your videos over and over again! That said, I did enjoy the video and thought it was great. Please keep making these “conversation“ videos! Thank you!

What she says at 5:23 simply reminded me of the breakthrough I had during my Erasmus time. Getting to know the right colleagues, and going to the right cafe/bar and keep engaging with them made me even more enthusiastic about diving into the Portuguese culture. There is a positive feedback mechanism! And to me, the moment I started to defend some parts of the Portuguese culture I used to critic, I knew I fell in love with the vida portuguesa.

Foi um bom vídeo. Para mim foi uma tarefa árdua seguir o diálogo, porque a tua convidada não falava duma maneira "profissional" como um político, mas como uma pessoa real, que tem pensar sobre o que quer dizer quando está a falar. Só o constante movimento dela foi um pouco stressante para mim, mas acredito que ela foi tb stressada, não parecia que ela faz isto regularmente. Muito obrigado às duas senhoras.

Muito obrigada Heiko! Antes de mais, parabéns, o teu português é ótimo! Sim, a minha amiga não costuma participar neste tipo de iniciativas e por isso mesmo é que a desafiei. Considero que aprender a falar através de materiais autênticos é essencial para conseguir fluir no dia-a-dia em interações com nativos. Agradeço o comentário e gostava de saber se existe algum tema que apreciasse que eu apresenta-se aqui no canal. Grata pelo apoio!! PS. Se algum dia quiseres marcar uma call para praticares português manda-me um email 😊

Awesome!

fantastic channel, really to the point, however, the audio is rather of poor quality at some parts, so it would be awesome to add subtitles! thanks guys !

eu gosto de ler legendas em português. mas aquelas que são "português generated" não são muito precisas

This was great, but I find she speaks so fast. If there was written subtitles in Portuguese and english in the description say it would be nice to have a reference.

@@PortugueseUnlocked Yes, the subtitles is very helpful. I have been switching in between English and Portuguese to try and understand more of the words themselves and how they're pronounced. But perhaps for another video it might be useful to have in the description for example the dialogues in text so you could compare the English and Portuguese text at the same time!

Muito obrigado mas o som fica com alguns dificuldades, como ficaram algumas maquinas que geraram som no fundo. Também vós fizestes alguns éditos que também cortou o som. E bom praticar ouvir fala rápida mas teve alguns passagens que foram simplesmente impossível para mim a entender. Desculpe por minha portuguesa má. Obrigado.

I can’t hear the friend very well. The beginning is very soft.

For a Swedish guy who has had exactly 0 lessons in Portuguese, but who has lived in Brazil for 5 years, I found the dialect from Portugal very different. Many vowels are closed sounding and there is a lot of "sh", even in the middle of the words. Not easy to understand. To me, it sounds like a Dutch person speaking Portuguese.

Background noise is horrible
