Bro it’s kinda amazing, I follow his steps, repeat the number of times watching before I move on and already my nasal vowels sounds are getting much better. I do listen to Brazilian rap some other vids but this is my classroom period and nowI’m starting to actually hear/recognize certain words. I love Brazil and have friends there, I need this lol…amazing work again
@@DecodingWordswithAndrewi think it’s because of the tone of which you speak the speed, reading along slowly, repeating sentences twice slow once fast for some and highlighting words or phrases we were tasked to say a few seconds ago and put that on top of making us remember words from previous lessons to really incorporate and work our brain to compose sentences or phrases 🫡
Thank you so much. When I saw you uploaded another one I was so happy. These seriously are the best lessons on RUclips. The fact that you are doing it for free is unbelievable. The way you coordinate each lesson to build on one another is so much easier and intuitive to learn, and slowing down with pauses so I have time to give each phrase a shot really helps. Most other videos just spam random phrases that have nothing to do with each other so I can’t even really tell what each individual word is. This method you’ve been adding to your videos is just the best. I actually have faith that I’ll be able to speak with my family in Brazil now, you’re the man! God bless
So happy to hear that the videos are helping you. Yes, there's a reason you don't really see series of videos on RUclips that progressively build on one another in a logical, coherent way--creating them is a lot harder than just making a stand alone video. It has to be carefully thought out and it only gets harder the further in the series you get. That said, I think something like this needed to exist on RUclips (even if it's a relatively short series), which is why I felt compelled to make it. If the videos continue to perform well, I would love to go up to lesson 10, but for now I will take it one video at a time. Thank you for your comments...they mean a lot to me!
This lesson was so amazing and mind blowing the way I was able to follow and create these sentences and get them correct you’re an amazing teacher 🌟 please continue creating these amazing videos… Obrigado 🥳
Best resource on the internet not just for Portugese but for any language is your channel. Bravo and please continue putting out more videos regularly!
Thank you so much! I don't do private lessons, but keep an eye on for more of these videos...I'll probably go up to lesson 10. If there's demand for more lessons, I'll consider building out a course...so stay tuned!
Eu adoro aprender português com você. Muito obrigada. The videos are amazing. I love the way you pause and the clear manner of speaking! Thank you! Thank you!
Eu quero comment that keep this going por favor, I know not so many people have discovered this channel agora, mas você é muito bom e help me muito muito com meu português
You made my day once again, Andrew ❤ If I’ve had a bad day, it turns sunny studying Portuguese with you 🥰 Thank you so much for making these great tutorials for us 🙏 I know they don’t come out of nowhere, but require a lot of time and effort from you. I really appreciate your work ☺️ Muito obrigada 🫶🏼 Kiitos paljon
As a native English speaker who learned Spanish as a second language and recently decided to learn Brazilian Portuguese, your videos and teaching method is so enjoyable and easy to follow! Up to lesson 4 currently, look forward to completing the 10 and hope you have more upcoming! I signed up for the course wait list. Thanks for preparing these!
@@DecodingWordswithAndrewamazing! Loving the content. I’m also going to go through your video about leveraging Spanish to accelerate Portuguese and your other content! Once I catch up with lesson 9/10, do you have any recommendations on what resources to continue with from there?
The only BR-PT resource out there that I would personally recommend (with a caveat, which I'll explain) is the FSI Portuguese Programmatic course: www.fsi-language-courses.org/fsi-portuguese-programmatic-course/ This is a free course which was developed in the 70's by the U.S. goverment to train diplomats. It's really comprehensive, but it teaches the formal, academic version of Portuguese which is very different from the colloquial form that you actually hear on the streets, in movies, in podcasts, etc. (to be fair though, this is how pretty much all BR-PT courses, books, apps out there teach it). So the caveat is that you have access to a tutor who can help you "convert" the type of language in the course into how people actually speak in the real world. It's a good tool for learning vocabulary and understanding basic theory, but just know that there are a lot of things that you would have to unlearn in order to make it functional for the modern, spoken language. You can check it out, it's definitely not for everyone since it's a really old and boring...but I'd still use it over any other app or book out there.
@@DecodingWordswithAndrew thanks for the heads up! That being said, I’m onto lesson 5 of your methodology, and I’d definitely concur with so many others that I’ve seen in the comments say that I’d be happy to pay/donate to you for you to create more lessons since I’m really enjoying learning it through you.
So great to hear that! Since you're on the wait list, you can expect to get more info in the upcoming weeks after I post lesson 10. Based on the response that I've gotten, the course will definitely get made. Beginning in October, I'm going to start investing a lot more time into this channel so you can expect to see videos coming out on a more consistent basis. Stay tuned!
@@DecodingWordswithAndrew ps: I’m very much guilty of making direct translations in English I know that i should not but it’s hard to shake off) question I have using a simple example “can I have a beer, please” is the correct way to ask a waiter “eu quero uma cerveja por favor” ie I want a beer please or “posso ter uma cerveja por favor” ie can I have a beer please?
This is a case where the word-for-word translation "Posso ter....?" would not work. I actually made a short about it: ruclips.net/user/shortsX8h-vP8MQ3I?feature=share
@@DecodingWordswithAndrew also love the short clips you've included after some of the examples, really helps with recognizing the natural speech flow.finding them must be tough but i appreciate it greatly!
Glad you found it helpful, Stephanie! "quis" is in the past tense (specifically the preterite tense) of the verb "querer" (to want). If you'd like to go more in-depth with how verb conjugations in Portuguese work, you can check out this tutorial: ruclips.net/video/Mii9OopUePg/видео.html
@@DecodingWordswithAndrew thank you so much Andrew! I've only stumbled across your channel today so I will be a regular watcher from now on! Muito brigada!
It's interesting that in the "linguagem coloquial," the tendency is to say... Esse filme (with "i" on the end). In short, most Brazilians would say... Ele e ela (Êle i éla) Three "e" sounds!
I started watching your lesson from lesson 1 with zero portuguese knowledge and I can actually form a sentence! Can you teach us the same method with Spanish too? haha
@DecodingWordswithAndrew Thank you so much for the lessons, you make it look so easy. However, I was surprised that in saying "I've always wanted to travel a lot" the word 'muito' was used instead of the word 'mais'. Could you kindly clarify.
@@DecodingWordswithAndrewI just went over your lesson 1 again, you stated there that "muito" means either "really" or "a lot". Thanks for the clarification.
that's just the way the language works...some verbs like "gostar" will always need to go along with a preposition like "de". Others require "a", as with "começar" (começar a...). You'll just have to learn as you go which verbs require a preposition.
@@erictrzaska5771 yeah, it’s like asking an English speaker why we say “to rely ON”, “to participate IN”, or “to depend ON”. An English learner would just need to learn the prepositions that go along with each verb.
at 12:14, "estudar" is used so not sure if you meant to reference a different timestamp. "estudar" vs "aprender" is the same difference in English between "study" and "learn".
Question in the beginning you say how do you say I want to travel. I said Eu Quero de viajar. But the screen showed Eu quero viajar. I want to travel. Correct?
"quis" is the past tense (more specifically the preterite) of the verb "querer" (to want). For more info about how the preterite tense is used, check out this tutorial: ruclips.net/video/Mii9OopUePg/видео.html FYI "querer" is an irregular verb so it doesn't follow the regular conjugation patterns.

When saying I like something it's always with a de before the subject but when I say I want something it's not in there, the de .... Por que?
The verb "gostar" (to like) is a verb that requires the "de"...only a very small group of verbs require the "'de"...most don't.

Hey Chris! They're all part of this beginner's playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLS2n39P9SS59z6E3tSSVsuQpzdn2xh30V
Question in the beginning you say how do you say I want to travel. I said Eu Quero de viajar. But the screen showed Eu quero viajar. I want to travel. Correct?
Yes, "eu gosto DE viajar" is "I like to travel", whereas "eu quero viajar" is "I want to travel"
@@DecodingWordswithAndrewwhy don’t you use De with want? Like you do with Like?
no you don't, "gostar" is one of the few verbs that are followed by "de"
What does quis mean by itself?
"quis" is the past tense (more specifically the preterite) of the verb "querer" (to want). For more info about how the preterite tense is used, check out this tutorial: ruclips.net/video/Mii9OopUePg/видео.html
FYI "querer" is an irregular verb so it doesn't follow the regular conjugation patterns.
