Portuguese teaching Hi guys, I'm interested in teaching portuguese to foreigners...I've found some material which method to teach is very similar to the one used to teach english...If you are interested in some hints or know about some good material that you could send me, please let me know...

To be or not to be...... Even though English don't distinguish the 'to be' "permanent state" from the 'to be' "transitory state" directly as Portuguese, by context the difference is made visible...at least this is what I believe by my "ser/estar" culture. But how is it in Portuguese? There are some examples: 1-"Ela não vem porque ESTÁ doente." 2-"Não a leve à sério, ela é doente." Number one is a transitory state, we hope someday she will be cured of her disease =D. Number two may offend her if she hears what was said...(People, is this phrase on the left correct? I had to think a little about conditionals...) The speaker is saying that she has mental problems, or that she's nonsense, something that won't change in a minute or a month, because this is what she is. If anybody has any doubts, I'm here to help. Well good night everybody....hope to make a hundred friends ^^'....see ya!
