#studying brazilian portuguese

[oddlyzephyrous]

Anyone have any good resources for learning Brazilian Portuguese? Because I have Duolingo and it's helped somewhat, but 1. it uses AI and I don't love that and 2. it doesn't help THAT much. I don't feel like I've progressed as much as I'd have liked to by now.

I really want to actually commit to learning, I always give up on new skills like this and this is the longest I've really stuck with any language. Sunk cost and all. But resources would really help!

I'm looking for programs, courses, videos, etc. Also, if any of y'all have media reccomendations like TV shows or movies to watch, I've heard those are super helpful, so I'd love to hear about those too! I watch a lot of Portuguese-speaking streamers on QSMP but I'd love some other media as well ^w^

Thank you all so much <3 <3 <3

I finally was able to get in some studying ( Brazilian Portuguese). Tonight I decided to read my favorite book in Portuguese.✨O Alquimista ✨. I used a combination of context clues, dictionary translations and the audiobook ( read in the native languages of course). It was tough but I managed to translate the first page without using my English copy. That’s a win for me 👍🏽!

Eventually I’ll share more of my recourses I’m using to study this beautiful language 🇧🇷!

Where are you from?

hey dear! 💖💕 I'm from Argentina, so it seems that we are neighbors! 🇦🇷🇧🇷

(I don't put it on my bio because I don't want the IRLs finding me that easily lmao)

#asks #verucaseether1999 #btw I studied Brazilian Portuguese a few years ago #but nowadays I only use it for my job (not on a daily basis tho) so I'm a bit rusty😅

I feel like people who are only doing German on Duolingo need to know that Junior does not yell like that in other languages.

#duolingo #german #duolingo german #duolingo junior #I can't say it is 100% a German-only thing because I don't study all available languages on Duolingo #(or not yet anyway ...) #but it's not the case in French #Norwegian Bokmål #Korean #or Brazilian Portuguese

i know it’s a wee early for the whole “end-of-the-year introspection” moment but if there’s one thing this year has affirmed for me, it’s this: b, you need to improve your português.

#specifically brazilian portuguese because we are latin american in this house!!! #but in general: whether read or written or spoken i need to get better #is this also related to the amount of brazilians in the nwsl? perhaps perhaps perhaps #also i need to improve my german but that’s separate because i haven’t been studying it the same

in my portuguese class at school right now, getting ready for my break!

haven’t been on twitter for years, but one of the highlights of my experience there, was 2018 World Cup when all the ElenaPs and NataliaPs all joint together in support of the Brazil nt and that was beautiful

#rena ramblings #wc 2022 #idolmaster #not many imas fans here on tumblr much less ElenaPs/NataliaPs :( #I miss them especially the nataliaPs #some of them were so dedicated to the point of going out of their way to visit brazilian stores and attend brazilian related events in japan #some of them even started to study more of our culture and history some even wanted to learn portuguese #i remember when Natalia wasn't voiced yet when her jp producers decided to organize ''a vote for natalia day'' #and they chose april 21 because they knew it would be a holiday in brazil (tiradentes day - a historical holiday) #and as a brazilian that warmed my heart very much #that's why i get mad at people who look down on someone who ''you only started to care about xyz because your blorbo is from there'' #''you only like xyz place now because the source material takes place there'' AND SO WHAT BRO? #at least they are learning something new as long as the person is respectful about the people and culture whats the fucking problem #rant in tags

It’s been 8 years since I finished my Portuguese mayor at a public French Uni. It was a lusophone ride on the most chaotic and disrespected departement that uni had  : 

Portuguese departement was a branch of the Spanish one. Nobody in the Spanish departement care abt the Portuguese class or students. Many times they didn not have our attendance list. 

One time we were having class and a Russian teacher and her students appeared, they said they have booked the classroom. We call admin. Thye make us leave. We wandered the halls and ended the class at the cafeteria. 

We had 5 main professor, 3 Portuguese, 2 Brazilians one from Sao Paulo one from Rio, and a superstart teacher born in Mozambique who created a “Lusophone Africa History” course for fun. 

Student were many from Cabo Verde, many French with Portuguese heritage, some Brazilians. And people who didn’t want to go to either Spanish or Italian. I’m people. 

We had separate course for Brazilian Portuguese and Portugal Portuguese in the first levels and then joint classes for the advance levels.

Portuguese Portuguese Teacher: “Who is learning Brazilian? Yeah well, you can forget all this chapter after the exam, nobody says that in Brazil.”

Brazilian Portuguese Teacher: “How would it look like with mesoclise?... I’m so glad we got rid of that in Brasil, wait a sec let me see...”

Mozambican Portuguese Teacher: “I personally think Angolan Portuguese is a delight and the best accent of the language, but that’s my biased opinion”

Mandatory reads I remember: Os Maias by Eça de Queiroz (PT), Mensagem by Pessoa (PT), Dom Casmurro by Machado de Assis (BR), O pagador de Promessa (BR) braver people than me read Cançao by Camoes (PT) and Grande Sertao: Veredas by João de Guimeraes (BR)

So many Luis Fernando Verissimo and Eça de Queiroz short stories and so many Lya Luft poems (one teacher was a fan)

Movies we watched: O Auto da Compadecida (BR), O Pagador de Promessa (BR) Cidade de Deus (BR) O Primo Basilio (BR) O crimen do Padre Amaro (PT) la Cage Doree (French movie we all hated a bit)

We also listened to too many Bossa Nova song and entirely too much Amalia Rodrigues but also some of the best recs we had: Raul Seixas, Deolinda, Diabo na Cruz and Legiao Urbana

Autor all teachers hated: Paulo Coelho. Only autor Portuguese Speaking authour we knew starting the career : Paulo Fucking Coelho. 

A virtual obrigada for all my teachers and faculty it was a fun lusophone ride.

19/09 - Morning y’all. This is NOT physics so it kinda ruins my blog a bit but this thesis talks to me a lot. Sometimes I feel kinda disconnected from people around me when they insist on using “ya” as treatment when I use “you” more formally speaking (which is not btw except my co-workers, teachers, etc think so). Linguistic variation for you, babe. 

I don’t know what I’m doing anymore lol

Since starting this blog on tumblr, life has been “lifeing”. I’m not sure if that’s a word so please just go with it. Learning a language in general can be the most rewarding experience ever. It takes alot of work and patience though, which I’m lacking right now. Learning a language in 2024 has to be most easiest thing to do due to all of the resource available and yet I feel so unmotivated. Today was the first time in a long time I was able to pick up my textbook and look though it. Self studying language has always been a challenge for me, even though I have an awesome teacher , it’s still hard to focus. I feel like I’m not pushing myself enough, I have so many distractions ( social media, media in general and work). I just want to be fluent already. I’ve been studying Brazilian Portuguese off and on for about 7 years. You would think after 7 years I’d be able to hold a basic conversation , truth is…I’m far from it. I feel like a writer that has writer block, it’s like I’ve lost my motivation to keep going on. All I want is to study everything about this beautiful country and yet I have all of these fucking distraction. It’s sucks to be honest. I know I’m being hard on myself fuck. I know am making progress in studying the language but I want to do more. Again, my teacher is the best , she works me very well and she’s turned into a friend, but sometimes I feel as those it’s not a enough. I feel so stuck right now.

So now what? Do I just throw in the towels and say fuck it? It would be easy right? Here’s the thing, I don’t want to give up. I want to keep trying. At least for these next 4 months. I’ll dropped all of my social media activities, no more listening to gossip stuff about people I barely know and no more useless videos on YouTube. If I’m serious about studying this country then I’ve got to do my part. I used to listen to my audio learns during work but now I’m realizing that I can’t focus on it while doing my job. I’ll set 30 mins to an hour a day and book two lessons per week with my teacher. As I’m writing this, I feel the hope and motivation coming back. Maybe I just needed to this off my chest. It helping a lot. So here my notes for today. Excuse the chicken scratch 🥲

Hola langblr. Estoy estudiando portugués y espero ser nivel intermedio este verano. El español es mi segunda lengua por hace 16 años este otoño. Y mi lengua materna es el inglés estadounidense. (También mi familia habla el patois jamaicano que entiendo muy bien pero mi habilidad para hablar es básico.) Soy artista y amante del arte, entonces, creé una lista de vocabulario de arte en portugués para el nivel intermedio y estoy trabajando en uno en español con nivel más avanzado. En el futuro quiero crear una lista con dibujos a línea y con un poco más detalle. Por ahora, podéis encontrar el documento en portugués aquí y les diré más tarde cuando lo en español está publicado. Buenas noches, buenas tardes, buenos días!
