Hi everyone, My family is Portuguese and came to Canada several years before I was born. As I was born and raised in Canada, my Portuguese language skills are something I’d like to improve, especially because one of my future goals is to have a home in Portugal since we love it there so much. I currently work in laboratory science/medicine but also love to read as many books as I possibly can each year. I also am very found of cats, especially our very special and sweet cat, Olivia.

Excelente! A Sara conseguiu manter uma convesa fluida em português durante toda a aula e comunicar de forma muito clara. Foi um gosto :)

    The city is in the tropics where the horrible/blazing sunshine can burn people’s skin. … Because isn’t necessary here.

    PT-PT Há quatro anos, em setembro, passei uma semana de férias em Porto. Fui sozinha. O tempo esteve bastante bom, com uma temperatura muito agradável. O céu estava cheio de sol. Visitei Livraria Lello, tive aulas de português todos os dias e provei muitos pratos típicos. Ingles: Four years ago, in September, I spent a week's worth of holidays in Porto. I went alone. The temperature in Porto was really nice, with a pleasant temperature. The sky was full of sunshine. I visited Livraria Lello, had Portuguese lessons daily, and tried many typical dishes.

    PT-PT Hoje falava com a minha família portuguesa. Aprendia tantas palavras novas. Aprendi em particular um novo adjetivo - “bastante.” “Bastante” significa “quite” em inglês. Pelo menos, acho que sim. 🥰 Então, tenho uma pergunta para vocês: utilizam a palavra “bastante” com frequência? Com quem? É informal ou formal? Obrigada!

    PT-PT Querido diário, Ontem decidi que queria estudar e tomar o exame “CIPLE.” Por quê? Bem… Queria continuar as aulas iTalki porque sei que é necessário melhorar o meu português. Esta semana, comecei as aulas iTalki e este setembro começarei “A1 Portuguese" aqui no Canadá. Os últimos cinco anos não estudei o português - "grad school" e, depois, o trabalho. Mas agora tenho tempo por estudar. Que aventura! Até breve

    Diary Entry for July 21st

    Today I met a lovely Jamaican girl.She wants to learn Chinese and I want to learn English, so we fastly quickly developed a partnership. She had difficulties in the pronunciation of Chinese pinyin, so I taught her them at first/so I first taught them to her. But I just found that I was very unfamiliar with pinyin.We learned them at primary school and generally we had gotten the most common words before high school, and since then we seldom used pinyin. Therefore, I had to review them before I taught them to her. It was very difficult for her to repeat the pronunciation, maybe because there are huge differences in pronunciation habits between Chinese and English speakers. In order to correct her voice, we planned to learn them one by one and she has already learned five letters.
    In order to help with my English listening and speaking, we tried to communicate by sending voicenotes to eachother. She is a very patient teacher; she even slowed down her speed due to my poor hearing/listening skills.
    It's precious to meet a proper language partner, so I totally value the/our partnership and I want to help her learn Chinese well, and at the same time, I can get fluent/become fluent in English as well!


    Excellent job, Dahlia! You did a fantastic job.
