Can you express yourself and make yourself understood in most situations? Remember that we are often not perfect in our own language, so no one expects us to be in a foreign language! Can you understand what other people say to you in the foreign language? Can you do both these things without much effort? If so, then I think you can consider yourself fluent.0 votedOctober 23, 20130

*"Writing" is not used as a noun, it would be better to say "note" or "example of writing".
*"Wanna" is colloquial and only used in speech. In writing, you should use "want to ".
* After a preposition, you need the gerund, (verb + -ing).
* Don't forget the subject of the sentence, "I" ("Hope to see you soon" is OK, because it's a common informal phrase).

Eu tenho estado estudando Português para apenas uma semana, e este é meu primeiro vídeo. Eu não tenho uma câmera de vídeo, nem um tripé, por isso estou segurando minha câmera normal na frente da minha cara! Estou usando um roteiro que eu tenho memorizado, para que, pelo menos, eu estou falando após apenas uma semana de estudar. Quando você está aprendendo uma nova língua, é importante falar o mais rápido possível, em vez de se concentrar muito na gramática; mesmo que isso signifique que você cometa muitos erros. Espero que em cada novo vídeo, você vai ver uma pequena melhora. Meu objetivo para a próxima semana é a de gravar um vídeo sem um roteiro. Eu não gosto de planejar muito à frente, mas depois disso, eu espero fazer uma gravação de uma conversa espontânea com um brasileiro em Verbling. Espero que esse vídeo inspira alguns de você aceitar o desafio de aprender um novo idioma. Adeus por agora!November 13, 201260
