Im a student from Brazil who is looking for meeting different people and learning different languages and cultures. I love travelling, and learning other languages is one of the most exciting things about it! If you are looking for a little help in your Portuguese lessons, I am here to play that part, as well! Im looking for people who speaks either English and Spanish, which I am already learning, so that I can talk to and improve my skills. Also, French and Chinese Mandarim speakers are more than welcome, because those are languages that I am willing to learn (moving to Shanghai next year!!), but I dont know a single word...yet!

    Hmmm...pergunta difícil! Acho que usamos os dois! Nesse caso específico, o "na internet" e o "pela internet" não têm significados diferentes. NA= em + a = en la. PELA= por + a = por la. Assim, em outros contextos, usar uma ou outra expressão pode fazer diferença, sim, mas especificamente nesse caso que você apresentou, ambos estão corretos

    Me chamo Hanyan e sou da China. Agora estou aprendendo Português porque gostaria de morar no Brasil um dia.

     

    you could use either this or the next way:

    Meu nome é Hanyan e sou chinês.

    (My name is Hanyan and (I) am Chinese) - you dont need to use "I" (eu) because, in Portuguese, the verbs most of the times indicate the person (i.e.: verb SER:

    EU SOU (I am)

    TU ÉS (you are) - in Brazil, we usually use VOCÊ É instead of tu és (this is more like a Portugal way of speaking)

    ELE É (he is)

    NÓS SOMOS (we are)

    VÓS SOIS (you are) - the same here. We use VOCÊS SÃO instead of vós sois.

    ELES SÃO (they are)

    as you can see, every person has a different verb form, which identify whos the speaker in your sentence. Because we use VOCÊ instead of TU and VOCÊS instead of VÓS, we need to identify the person for these, otherwise it is not possible to know if you´re talking about VOCÊ or ELE/VOCÊS or ELES).

     

    I think this is enough for one day lol. Anything you need, ust let me know.

    Let me introduce myself in Portuguese, so you can see how we do:

     

    Meu nome é Paula. Tenho 25 anos e adoro viajar. Quero aprender Chinês porque a China é um lugar fascinante, e ano que vem morarei em Shanghai. Estudarei na Universidade Fudan por um ano. Muito prazer em conhecê-lo!

    -translation word by word-

    My name is Paula. (I am) 25 years old and love (to travel). (I) want to learn Chinese because (the) China is a (place) (fascinating - in PT we use name and adjective), and (year) (which) (comes) (I) will live in Shanghai. (I) will study at Fudan University for one year. (very) (pleasure) to meet you!
