- Wortstellung im Satz Hallo Leute, ich mache welche Aufgaben von einem Lehrbuch. Man soll kausale Nebensaetze ergaenzen. Ich habe so geantwortet: "Paulo spart, denn.. er sich selbstaendig machen will. er ein Haus kaufen will. sein derzeitiger Arbeitsplatz unsicher ist er seine Familie unterstuetzen will. er bald heiraten will." Aber die Loesungen waren: "Paulo spart, denn.. er will sich selbstaendig machen. er will ein Haus kaufen. sein derzeitiger Arbeitsplatz ist unsicher. er will seine Familie unterstuetzen. er will bald heiraten." Ich verstehe nicht, warum die Wortstellung die ich benutzt habe falsch war. Koennt ihr mich helfen? Vielen Dank im Voraus.February 25, 202220
EDIT: um nativo já corrigiu. Desconsidere minhas sugestões. Ninguém melhor que um nativo pra corrigir, hehe
Mas tem uma coisa que eu queria acrescentar! Homeschooling tem um sentido diferente que do que você quer dizer.
Se te entendi bem, vc quis dizer que está estudando inglês por conta própria, certo?
Fez certo em usar self-taught.
Homeschooling, por outro lado, é uma modalidade de ensino básico escolar que existe nos EUA. É um termo muito específico, que quer dizer que os pais ensinam as matérias da escola para os filhos em casa.
Vc deve explicar de outras formas.
P.ex.
I'm learning English independently.

Tainá makes an important point. English classes are generally pretty useless in Brazilian schools. This applies even to private schools.
I don't know any Brazilians who have achieved a good command of the language without the aid of language schools or exchanges in English speaking countries.
Having said that, I remember English lessons in my school were very fun! We often had to make up dialogues and perform them for our peers, and there was lots of movies and music envolved.
There were, of course, regular exams, reading assignments and often there were short essays we had to write. The essays were also fun, because we were usually given some freedom to pick the topic about which we would write.
However, by the final year of high school we were still doing B1 level stuff... so even after many years of lessons, the overall ability to use English was poor. Also, the teachers had very thick Brazilian accents, which I think might have had an impact on some people pronounciation-wise.
So, for Brazilians, you need to either resort to a language school, which many parents do, or do an exchange abroad.0 votedApril 17, 20180 I assume you're referring to a Brazilian Portuguese teacher?
Allie explained it very well. As a rule, you should use "você."
The use of senhora/senhor is exceptional:
1. for the elderly (and many elders prefer to be addressed with você, which they will tell you themselves, if it's the case)
2. also for some professional settings. (Lawyers and judges, politicians, policemen, scholars...)
It's very different in Portugal. I'm not sure but I think there they use tu for informal situations and você is the polite form. But don't worry, I believe they are quite used to Brazilian there.
