Portuguese sounds like Spanish with a French accent.
I’m from the UK and learning as my partner is from Viseu. I am a competent Spanish speaker which is helpful in some ways but HELP with the sound “x” which seems so change a lot!!
tongue twisters; tongue twisters; tongue twisters!!!!! Let's see if you mention them. I see vowels are first, what's next? ...... :)
Thank you for your explanation and your explanation was helpful i feel understand. Keep going do it more
Really useful learning 😊thank you.
Can you please spell out how you pronounce the name Aurélia in Portuguese pronunciation? I don't want people to think my daughter is called 'Ear' 😂
I want to go to a Benfica game one day so I’m getting prepared now
Im in Porto right now and this list has been invaluable. The phrase im using the most apart from ordering something is what is this?
I'm so glad! Enjoy your time in Porto :)
In Colombia, South America we say "carro" in Spanish for "car", although of course we would understand "vehículo". Curiously, an older way of pronouncing the letter "r" in Bogotá that people ofvmy grandfather's generation used sounded very similar to the "r" in some Portuguese accents that I've listened to. The "r" sounded almost like a French "r" with a bit of an "h" at the end. The word "carro" sounded something like "carrho". My main problem besides pronunciation seems to be with false cognates where the meanings of words that appear to have the same roots have diverged. Would it be possible to do a You Tube video on those?
speaking 🇧🇷 in 🇵🇹 is a shocker to others and i love it 😂 - a native 🇦🇴
To me, European Portuguese sounds a lot better. Brazilian sounds a bit too gibberish to me
Para um Brasileiro é bem fácil enteder o espanhol falado no Espanha do que o falado na América latina. Eu morei na Espanha, não aprendi espanhol, porque eu não tinha dificuldade de enteder o que eles falavam, nem eles tinham dificuldade de me enteder também.
A língua portuguesa é ensinada como tendo só 5 vogais, mas na prática ela tem 12 vogais. São 5 vogais orais e 7 nasais e é exatamente isso que torna o português difícil de entender. Essas combinações de vogais orais e nasais permitem sons mais complexos e parecidos. Exemplo: Vô, vó, voo, tapa, tampa, etc.
Nice translation s. Keep it up.
Posso ser admitido na sua aula?
Yes yes yes!
Definitiv habe ich beim Sprachen lernen gelernt, dass wir Menschen insgesamt nicht besonders intelligent sind.
Thank you for this!
De nada!
At 1:50 when you say "muitos", you need to add a "n" sound to the word, like "muintos". The n sound is so noticeable that me and other portuguese people have had brain farts where we would write the word as "muintos" and then it wouldn't look right. The way you said it, sounded like you had a cold or something, because it didn't have that nasal sound.
You refer to the beers as "this guy" as in "how would you describe this guy". Wouod have been funny if he said "this girl" cerveja e uma mulher. 😂
Been busy taking notes!
Loud and clear
I’m sure I read somewhere that the following response to a greeting would be: Q. Como esta? (Or ‘Tudo bem?’) A. Bem, obrigado. E você? Is this incorrect?
O sotaque em português não soa a nenhuma das regiões. Não soa mal mas não soa bem em algumas partes. A senhora é nativa ? Obrigada desde já a explicação é muito boa só não soa completamente bem
Are both correct did everyone find him happy if John knows later mate not 🚭 or please quickly respond sooner than usual very well xoxo your zip. 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Here in Mexico, English is the language that we put more effort into learning. Whenever we visit Brazil, we just talk to Brazilians in English and a lot of times, they ask us to speak Spanish because they can undestand Spanish better than English
Ola i am not able to attend your online classes but most of the days i am learning here on You Tube. Thank you❤
You are so welcome!
Thank god I have a Dutch accent - I trained for 45+ years to acquire and perfect it, no way I'm gonna loose that! 😘
I thought the video would be the reverse. 😅
Im not sure what close down the vowel means. I seems like the "O" is pronounced more like a "U"
Right, they keep repeating bad explanations.
Hey! That is indeed a closed vowel, like the O in the end of "obrigado". An open vowel would be the first o in "obrigado".
Hm.. perhaps give this a try. Say the “o” sound as you would in English “oh” without moving your mouth (in English, we have a tendency to close our mouth at the end of Os). Then, keep your mouth in the same position, but try to say the sound “awe” instead. This sound is the “open o” or ó in Portuguese. Then, try closing your mouth a bit more by raising your lower jaw. That should make the “closed o”sound or ô in Portuguese.
I've heard this "open" and "closed" vowel explanation a number of times, but unfortunately they are pretty meaningless adjectives to me and don't help me to know what sound I'm aiming for. Comparing a particular vowel sounds in Portuguese to one in an English word is much more helpful, though sadly not particularly easy to remember 🤷
@@HiggonCheck 'Word Reference Forums - Portuguese'. Anyway, open 'o' is similar to the sound of 'o' on 'job'. Closed 'o' is similar to the 'oo' in 'too'. There is a 'midle o' similar of 'o' in 'open' or 'frozen'.
Thanks for making this so much less intimidating! I'm visiting Lisbon soon!
Hope you enjoy it!
We're heading to a couple or three towns in South Portugal this winter. I love that you get right down to the lessons. So many language videos provide half the content in twice the time.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Great ideas, obrigado
De nada! :)
i am from argentina and i will be living in Portugal for a semester, and honestly there are many similarities!
My dear Liz I'm very disappointed about your comments because 1) you generalize things that happened to you (?!) or that you observed that are not correct nor common or trivial in Portugal, 2) you think that you arrived to Tumbuctu or any other place in the middle of Africa. You think that Portugueses are funny some natives that you look with disdain. For instance, what you said about senhas is absolutely disgusting because this is the UNIQUE AND CIVILIZED way of dealing with customer service. 3) You are so superficial especially for someone that is in Portugal for quite a long time. Please consider other ways of getting money because your podcast is not to be recommended to both Portuguese and foreigners. ONLY LIES and NOT PROFESSIONAL
the duolingo comment felt personal 😂😂
Obrigada!!
So let me get this straight: you've been living in Portugal and teaching Portuguese, but still call yourself an expat? Is the word "immigrant" beneath you?
This is the evidence, very crucial provement, that native portugals are able to speak normally, clearly, with pauses and with 100% pronounced sounds, not 55. They can do this! IT SHOULD BE THE BREAKTHROUGH, THE NEWS OF CENTURY! LOCALS CAN SPEAK HUMANLY
Excellent teaching....obrigada.
De nada!
E bem, digamos assim
I need a tip for a M at the end of words - for example: sim / tem / homem. Some people say its unpronounced, others that its like an "ing" in (British) English.
Hey! Check these videos: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eXmJwclrfZu1gdY.htmlsi=hwN_3kuk-7-0haEd and kzread.info/dash/bejne/oqiOq8qHYLuzZdI.htmlsi=yAY0RWHIueCw83No :)

Greetings, can anyone tell me, if a single journey requires taking 2 busses, do you need 2 single journey passes, or is there a "bus transfer" option?
