Hi I'm Matt, I'm from England but now live in Ireland. I have been learning portuguese on and off for 4 years. I need to be more disciplined and practice speaking, listening, reading and writing much more. I play guitar, mandolin and sing and I also like to cycle.

Bom demais da conta! I'm really happy that you liked it and I was surprised with your rich vocabulary that made the fact that we spoke portuguese the entire session possible. Happy to help anytime!

    Looking for various Past tense sentences in English

    I realised recently how much we use the past tense in conversation. I also realised it is definitely one of my weaknesses in Portuguese due to the many tenses they use.

    I'm looking for a resource of a variety past tense sentences in English to translate into Portuguese for my language partner to check.


    Does anyone have one or know of a website with some:

    I think both variants should be offerred.


    Interestingly, My wife (Brazilian) and I went to Portimão recently on holiday and she spoke English 90% of the time with the portuguese there as it was easier for them to understand each other with the differences in accent and use of different word usuage and meanings.


    I loved it there and will definitely learn the European differences once I am more fluent in Brazilian portuguese

    Just Portuguese, I find it hard to learn, and without a purpose for learning a language I´d be even worse than I am!!!

    What are the best ways of remembering new words etc When having a text conversation with my language partner, I am use an online dictionary a great deal and a website for conjugating verbs. Many times I am looking up a word or conjugation that I know I have previously looked up before. What do you recommend for remembering! I thought about starting to put new words in a notebook and using them in a Notebook entry on here. Any other recommended ideas?

    What is the goal of life?

    What is the goal of life?

    Everybody has a goal in life. Sometimes we can´t see this goal (or these goals) because we are thinking about the moment that we are living. By the way, every day we are forced to confront ourselves beyond the common problems (this is grammatically correct but I don't think it reads as you mean it to)  (maybe 'everyday we are forced to push ourselves out of our comfort zone' or forced to deal with things beyond day to day problems) . We are always busy with our jobs and business that we almost forgot to live naturally.

    Each person has a different goal in life but we all have a common goal: to make those we love happy. When we see people that we love happy we can be completely happy with ourselves. Otherwise, we are only birds Flying without course, fish (fish is the plural of fish!) without water and living like this we´ll navigate  and die on the beach.

    In addition to learning, I´m here to complete my second goal: make some friends from other countries. I love to meet new people, but I need to find people that are willing to build a true friendship. Empty people can pass through in my life and I will learn to deal with them, but I really hope to meet nice people.

    I´m able to stop what I´m doing to answer a true friend that needs my help. Maybe because I can count them on one hand. I don't have many friends like this but those that I have I love with all my heart.

    Concluding, my goal in life is to make those who I love happy and that includes my family and true friends.

    If you´re trying to read my entry now and correcting the mistakes that I made, I´m sure you´re thinking about your goals in life too.
