Learning Portuguese
I have decided to take this time to add Portuguese to my learning roster! I have been learning Spanish for about a year (y me encanta mucho), and I’m still learning more Spanish. However, since we are all stuck inside, I thought it would be a good time to start learning Portuguese since I’ve always loved the language. Where should I start from? My experience with Spanish was a little different because I kind of accidentally started learning by watching telenovelas so I had a hidden dictionary in my mind. But I’m a little unsure of how to start with Portuguese. Any suggestions?

Obrigado!

Answer

The trick to learning any new language is to just start doing something, anything in that new language. The most easiest way to get exposure to a new language would be to listen to music and watch movies in that target language. The most important thing to remember is to do a little bit every day consistency is the answer and have patience. :)

Oi, Temi! Such a nice decision you've made! In order to help students face this period which we've been through, I have prepared special classes for those who want to make the most of it. I am a professional teacher so if you fancy having regular lessons, don't hesitate and send me a message :) Also, I have been working with Spanish learners / speakers and the results are impressive as both languages share about 70% of vocabulary or so.

Por favor, me envie uma mensagem e nós podemos conversar mais sobre este assunto! Obrigado e um bom final de semana :D

Thanks everyone for your suggestions! I think I’ll start watching series in Portuguese and go from there, practicing with people as much as I can!

Answer

Start with consuming content in Portuguese. The pronunciation is different but many of the words are similar or are the same. and in no time. You’ll start to pick it up. Good luck tho. Keep your mind sharp. Boa sorte. 🍀
