It was great. In the second part, the eighth sentence was wrongly translated (in English).

You're right! "Desculpe, onde é a casa de banho?" translates to "Excuse me, where is the bathroom?" I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and thank you for your attention to detail!

I just love you guys. Can't wait to get back to learning after my other studies, that interrupted your program. It is so diffrent from anything i had seen before. Yes it is tough too, but it's as natural it can be and definitely not boring. I can't imagine how much work you put into this. Can't wait to talk to my inlaws and even get the passport eventually someday🙌

Hi. I just discovered your channel yesterday and it is very helpful. I will be visiting Portugal next year May! I have partial Portuguese ancestry from Azores, Lisbon, and Guarda based on genetic cousin matches. I speak conversational Italian and French and I used to speak nearly fluent Spanish. I think Portuguese will be challenging but I am eager to learn! I also think I will revert to speaking Italian or Spanish if I don’t know how to say something in Portuguese. When I was in Italy I would occasionally use Spanish words as I didn’t know the word in Italian! But I was understood.

@portuguesewithcarla 3 ай бұрын

Glad you like our channel 😊 it’s true that knowing other Latin based languages can make it a bit confusing as there are similarities but also significant differences that sometimes we don’t expect to find. On the other hand, it will also come in handy when learning Portuguese given the fact that some of the vocabulary is similar or the same! Also there’s many aspects in common when it comes to grammar 😀 My advice to anyone visiting Portugal is to try and speak as much Portuguese as possible (this will win you some brownie points with the natives) and any words you don’t know refer back to your other Latin based languages - it doesn’t work all the time, but it works often enough 😁 Have an amazing time in Portugal 🤗

Hi, I’ve just come across your channel and think your teaching style is great 😊 May I ask, what is the difference between “Por Favor” and “Se Faz Favor” ?

@portuguesewithcarla Ай бұрын

Thank you! 😃 Well, "Por favor" translates directly to "please" in English. "Se faz favor" translates roughly to "would you be so kind" or "if you please." However, the natives use both expressions interchangeably to make polite requests.

Hello there, everyone! My name is Eliana, I'm a 33-year-old Brazilian English teacher, I'm currently living in Japan, and I'm looking for another woman whose first language is English to have conversations through Zoom with for us to practice speaking each other's languages. We can read books and discuss them or talk about topics of our interest. I like to talk about cultures, self-development, pets, cooking, hobbies, friendships, family, movies, songs, and etc. We can do calls once a week, maybe, and divide them into 2 parts, one for English and one for Portuguese. I really look forward to building a good friendship with my conversation partner. If you're interested, please let let me know replying to this comment and I'll get in touch with you. ☺️

Hi Carla ❤️ Could you please help with basic pronunciation? Words so simple as “a faka” “a casa” “a vaca” - which “a” should be spelled as “e” and which as “a”? I’m trying to hear it in different sources and everytime I hear something else 😂❤

@portuguesewithcarla 7 ай бұрын

Olá Joanna 😊 So the first “a” in those words is an open one, like the English “ah” sound”. And the second one is the closed one - similar to the sound “uh” as in “duh “🤦🏽‍♀️ I’m sure you pronounce my name, Carla, that way: open “a “ first and closed “a” last. So it’s exactly the same with the 3 words you mentioned. Hope this helps 🤗

Desculpe you should to use with people you don’t know, older ones and in formal settings. Desculpa you can use with family, friends, children - so in informal settings. They are both forms of the Imperative Mode, but desculpe follows the the pronouns você, o senhor or a senhora which may be omitted. Desculpa follows the pronoun tu. Hope this helps 🙂

I hope you enjoy your visit there 😊 At schools Portuguese from Portugal is the one taught. But Angolans have their own accent and slang. There are a few aspects of the day to day language where it might be closer to Portuguese from Brazil though.

The m in 'Bom' and 'Sim', is it like an n-sound, a -ng sound or like a french n? Or more like an "unfinished" m? Don't know how else to describe it. I find it hard to see or hear what's technically going on

@portuguesewithcarla 7 ай бұрын
