Profile
I am a Brazilian Portuguese native speaker who lives in Fortaleza, a big city on the Northeastern coast, by the way the Brazilian state capital city that lies the closest to Europe. I am fluent in English and in German. I have been working as a copy editor at a university since 2012. My personal interests include arts or indie movies that mix genres. Anyway ingredients of thrillers and scifi are usually welcome. Directors I like, among others: Darren Aronofsky, Christopher Nolan, David Cronenberg, Wachowski sisters, Coen brothers, Woody Allen... If my partner wants any help with Brazilian Portuguese or with English or German, I will be glad to offer it.

    Rádio Gaúcha.

    Comecei a escutar o rádio brasileiro já que minhas aulas continuam suspensas e há uma estação chamada "Gaúcha" que acho muito legal. Posso ouvir o português de muitas pessoas; até as propagandas acho legais. Mas minha dúvida é se a estação é somente de esportes.
    A verdade é que já faz três dias que eu a escuto em diferentes horas e sempre falam de futebol.

    Kan je me helpen om een tekst van mij te verbeteren? Mijn moedertaal is Braziliaans Portugees en ik kan me in Engels en Duits relatief goed, en in Frans en Spaans niet te slecht, communiceren. Onder mijn passies zijn niet alleen talen maar leren zelf, altijd samen met imaginatie. Mijn formele onderwijs heeft iets van taalkunde, literatuur en filosofie. Beroepsmatig heb ik background met copyediting. Fictie en nonfictie te schrijven is een oefening dat ik vaak heb gedaan. Nu alleen een hobby maar later misschien iets anders. Ik zou je graag helpen met mijn eigen taal of anderen habiliteiten of tips die ik misschien heb en die jou interesseren. Zelf de dromen van elkaar te leren kennen kan goed zijn tot en bepaalde graad, op ons dooie gemak. In relatie te talen, kan ik het van waarde vinden, een tekst von jou te bewerken zodat hij de indruk maakt dat een moedertaalspreker van Braziliaans Portugees hem heeft geschreven. De spreker zou heel geschoold zijn kunnen, en excellent wetenschapsjournalistiek zou voor hem een potenciele referentie van schrijvenstijl. Jij besluit of de product uit de bewerking zal een economische waarde bekomen die als symbool americanische dollars kan hebben, met overschrijving via Paypal(TM). Bovendien kan ik eventueel iets in Braziliaans Portugees te vertalen dat in Engels, Duits of Frans is. Jij van niew besluit of de vertaling een service is en verdient betaling. Nu lere ik Nederlands en ik planne nog eenmal Japaans te leren, waarschijnlijk volgend jaar. Misschien kan italki benut worden als een platform voor bepaalde taallerers te coopereren zodat ze het taalleren zien als een werktuig om een gezonder wereld te bouwen voor allemaal. Is het een triviale feit, dat al te een weerkelijkheid wordt? Of is het fictie? Misschien is wat ik nu doe een simulatie van mogelijke scenarios. Als ja, dan is diet seizoen één (1), episode nul (0), van “After Truman, the Hijnkrade show”.

    Thank you, Tutor Zowee. I copied and pasted it there after your advice. However I don't know to remove it from the questions.

    Could you please enhance this little text of mine? (Maybe I can do the same for one of yours) My mother language is Brazilian Portuguese and I can communicate fairly well in English and German, and at a significant level in French and Spanish. My passions involve not only languages but learning itself hand in hand with imagination. My formal education covers some linguistics, literature and philosophy. Professionally, I have experience with copyediting. Writing fiction and nonfiction is an exercise I have been in. A hobby for the time being, maybe something else later on. I would like to help you with my own language or other skills or tips I might have that interest you. Maybe we can meet each other’s spirits to a comfortable extent. In language field, I can decide to edit a small text of yours so it can sound more like one of an educated Brazilian Portuguese native speaker that usually considers excellent science journalism reports as a potential reference of writing style. You decide whether or not the editing product is to be given an economic value codifed in US dollars and transferrable to an account at Paypal(TM). Also I can decide to translate something into Brazilian Portuguese out of English, German or French. You again decide if such a translation is a service to pay for. Right now I am learning Dutch and plan to come back to learning Japanese, probably next year. Perhaps italki can be used as a platform for certain language learners to cooperate in seeing language learning as a tool to build a healthier world for everybody. Is this a trivial fact, already being put to work here? Is it rather fiction? Maybe what I am doing is a simulation of possible scenarios. If so, then it is season one (1), episode zero (0), of “After Truman, the Hijnkrade show”.

    Alexandre und DonHolgo, danke sehr dafür, ihr habt Zeit aufgewandt, mir zu helfen. Jetzt ist es ganz deutlich, wo meine Schwierigkeit herkommt: ich hatte nicht diese Struktur bemerkt: "SO sehr beschäftigt sein, DASS etwas passiert". In der Tat habe ich den dass-Satz direkt mit sonst was verbunden: "ob es für... reichen würde".

    Auf was für eine alte Situation beim mit der Bahn fahren wird hingewiesen? Den ganzen Text habe ich verstanden bis auf den folgenden Satz: "Das war der Tag, an dem man so sehr mit der Frage beschäftigt war, ob es für den Anschlusszug reichen würde, dass man beim Aussteigen sein Notebook liegen ließ." (Aus: "Was jeder Deutsche über die Bahn weiß" – https://www.dw.com/de/was-jeder-deutsche-über-die-bahn-weiß/a-47493621) Kurz vor diesem werden unangenehme oder ungemütliche Lagen in alten DB-Zügen dargestellt, die ich mir sehr leicht vorstellen kann. Hier kann ich im Gegenteil nichts damit anfangen, wenn ein Laptop-Computer ("Notebook") mit Umsteigen ("Anschlusszug") verbunden ist, ohne dass der kulturelle Zusammenhang verdeutlicht wird.
