(Free) Brazilian Portuguese Beginner Resource Masterlist

I've seen a lot of posts for European Portuguese, but none for Brazilian, so here we are! All resources are available for free (or at least have free trials.)

The items highlighted in yellow are what I, personally, use and recommend.

The items with asterisks are closer to intermediate level.

I will continue to update with new resources as I discover them. If you have any suggestions, comment or reblog!

I am speechless 🫠

Taz looks gorgeous here and I love the darker blond and the eyes like this is such a lethal combination.

When his Middle Eastern features are highlighted, it is so HOT.

#taz skylar #aka #tarek yassin #i have a lot of feelings #such a beautiful multiethnic polygot #i won't shut up about this

[vash-in-the-void]

as much as i love the vashwood trope of vash not understanding as ww secretly simps for him in spanish, vash is canonically a polygot and i propose to you:

ww uses spanish to call vash terms of endearment and practically confesses to him thinking vash has no clue

and while vash is a bit rusty in spanish and doesnt understand everything ww says, he does remember "i love you" and he almost chokes on his drink the first time he hears it - they both play it off and come out of it thinking the other one is oblivious but vash pays attention more whenever ww speaks spanish from then on

bonus angst: vash feels guilty about it, like hes violating ww's privacy (and he doesnt deserve it anyway) but he cant bring himself to tell ww because then the endearments would stop and he hasnt been at the recieving end of something so full of love and freely given in ages - he cant stand losing it

#that one post about vash being a polygot got me thinking hehe #theyre so dumb and emotionally repressed #they care for each other so deeply yet they cant express it in fear of it becoming real - of having something to lose #because they will lose each other and they both know it #okay #trigun #vash the stampede #vashwood #nicholas d wolfwood #vashposting

salut, salut~! i’m back, and today I thought I’d share with you my usual study routine when it comes to french! before we begin though, please remember that everyone is different and what works for me might not be the best for you <3 ok, c’est parti!!

no. 1 - reading! (10-15 min)

i usually start my study with some reading to get my head into the gear of another language. i’ll pick an article or page from a book that i’m interested in and read it through, seeing how much i can understand and summarising it as best i can once i’m done. then i’ll reread it, and highlight the words i don’t know or can’t remember. i’ll look up the meanings, and these go in my set of flashcards on zorbi. from there, i like to translate about 5-10 sentences or so, thinking carefully about how my word choice can best convey the meaning.

no. 2 - flashcards! (5 min)

now that i’ve done some reading, i’ll review my flashcards. these i’ve compiled over a little while, picking out words i don’t know yet or frequently forget and studying them to make sure i can recall them confidently. i don’t spend too long on this, and rather do short sessions often because i find it helps me remember them better.

no. 3 - writing! (10-15 min)

next up, writing! most of the time i’ll either go with a diary entry about my day, a bit about the topic i just read up on or anything generally interesting that i’ve encountered in the last few days. because the things i write about are so relevant to my life, i find it has helped me to be able to comfortably express myself quicker than other methods i’ve tried. i’ll write without looking at any grammar notes or vocab, just remembering everything i can off the top of my head and correct after i’m done. sometimes i don’t have any mistakes, but more often than not i’ll have made a few small errors such as ‘un’ instead of ‘une’ or a misspelled adjective.

here i have a 5 minute break :D

no. 4 - grammar! (10-15 min)

grammar is something i struggle with in french, so as much as i hate it, i have to include it in my usual routine to get it to stick. i’ll either practice bits of grammar i made mistakes on during my writing, or look for something new to learn on YouTube and make notes. most of the time this is the slowest part of my session - since i like to write quite fast and freely, i often forget simple things when it comes to grammar, so here i have to really slow down and take my time.

no. 5 - speaking! (10-15 min)

to finish up, i’ll practice speaking. i do this in a number of ways - sometimes i’ll chat with a study buddy on zoom, call up a few of my friends who are native speakers or record myself speaking on my phone and go back and review my pronunciation. i like to work on making my words clear and precise, and try to talk about things out of my comfort zone. because i’m not based in france or another french speaking country, i don’t get much chance to speak, so i usually have a lot to say here!!

well, there you go! this is what a typical study session looks like for me. obviously there is always variation where i’ll try different techniques, switch up the order/types of stuff i do or work for a shorter or longer period depending on my energy levels, but this is more or less it! thanks for reading, et je t’aime! <3

Imagine Maria asking Tommy to speak in Spanish to their baby so the kid can be bilingual and Tommy awkwardly telling her that the only person he's spoken spanish with in the last 20 years has been Joel and the words he's still fluent in probably aren't ones she wants the baby knowing.

this is soooooo cute and true anon

maria: ???? you speak spanish to me!

tommy: in bed. in bed, maria.

#tommy x maria #then joel comes along and teaches the baby spanish #ellie teaches the baby sign and morse code which theyre learning in school #baby miller is also learning portuguese in kindergarten so theyve got a lil polygot on their hangs #the millers #asked and answered

[omni-scient-pan-da]

Apparently,,, May still has,,, so much service overseas,,, which means they will most likely be able to respond to me immediately once they read my confession,,, which means having to deal with the consequences of my actions,,

How many more of these messages will I get after they read my letter,,, I need to cherish them while I can,, what have I done,,, nooooooooooooooooooooo

#panda posts #panda pines #may #pov it's almost 3am and i am overthinking everything all the time now #and i just finished a really good fanfiction (it was moshang audrey if you're reading this and haven't read the polygot sqh fic where he #goes to war for mbj because they dared to insult him.... boy do i have a rec for you) and it made me very emotional and also i think im #going to start my period soon so that probably has something to do with it but i am so so so afraid now #there was no fear in my body when i wrote the letter i should have fucking proof-read it curse my hubris and cowardis #i should have revised it #drafted it #something other than just scribbled it down immediately shoved it in an envelope and given it to may.... #hnnnnnnngggggg

[bookwyrminspiration]

i. the quiz said polygolt. has it always been polygolt or did she spell it wrong. QUIL I NEED TO KNOW HAVE I BEEN SAYING POLYGOT AND BEEN WRONG FOR YEARS???

You have been wrong for years, but don’t worry I was also wrong in the same way for many years! Only realized my error like a couple years ago after like five years straight of saying polygot

It’s actually polyglot. Glot meaning tongue from the root glōtta!! Think other words like glottis and epiglottis, which are parts of your anatomy in the throat and also relate to speech!

Never too late to learn, but at least we got to be wrong in the same way!

#kotlc #quil's queries #lbgtqforeverything #all caps #when I first learned that I was like ‘hmm no I’m going to just keep saying polygot because that sounds better’ #but then I realized that it’s an actual real life word #used to describe real life people #and that i can’t just decide to change that #so. polyglot! #I still trip up and want to say polygot sometimes though

[theincompetentdesi]

so I was watching a TED-Ed vid that said that multilingualism might improve executive functioning skills, esp if the second language is acquired later in life

As someone who struggles w executive dysfunction bc of my adhd, I find this quite fascinating. I know 3 languages proficiently atm bc I was raised in a desi household - but I learned all of them during my childhood

I've always wanted to learn Spanish so I'll do that on Duolingo. This is gonna be the first of my 4 activities. Imma try this for 30 days and see if it makes a difference

if Duolingo the owl doesnt kill me I'll come back to report my progress
