I've told one of my Portuguese friends on Facebook that I'm going to annoy her with my constant doubts and to deal with it 😂 She's been quite helpful so far. She's just pleasantly surprised someone's chosen to learn her mother tongue. BTW, I'm still open for more exchange friends. So sure thing.
Muito útil, como sempre. Já há anos que estou a estudar português e ainda é difícil ultrapassar o medo, a frustração, a decepção por não ter aprendido algo bem. É um verdadeiro processo psicológico, que bom que estejas a difundir conselhos, apoio e motivação, mesmo para enganar. :) No amor, na guerra e na aprendizagem da língua tudo é permitido!
Você escreve muito bem em português, sou brasileiro e notei que você escreve com "sotaque" do português de Portugal, mas está perfeito. Português é realmente uma língua muito difícil, falar e escrever corretamente é difícil até para os nativos, aqui no Brasil dizemos que o português é um código secreto usado entre Portugueses e Brasileiros 😂. Uma dica para lhe incentivar, ao menos aqui no Brasil a maioria não fala ou escreve de forma correta , portanto, se errar já estará falando como um nativo 😂
Great tips. I started learning portuguese to talk to Brazilians, and am now interested in learning european portuguese also. I used iTalki to find native brasileiros. I also used tandem. To be honest i was inundated by offers from Brazilians because the ratio of gringos learning portuguese to the other way around is so skewed in the native english speakers favour. Five years later i am still good friends with my language partner who lives in Santos. My Killer Tip … Try exchanging WhatsApp audio messages. That way you can listen 2-3 times and make sure you understand before responding.
Just went to Portugal for a week for vacation and it was hit or miss to be honest. I managed to order Bifana in Lisbon and had a short conversation with the waiter who could understand everything I said. Then nobody understood me in Coimbra nor Aveiro. In Porto I was more lucky and when I was drunk I felt super comfortable and went on to speak Portuguese with my newfound friends, they were so surprised and happy!
Há muito tempo que estou a usar "Tandem", essa aplicação me ajudou muito!! No entanto não há muitos portugueses... Eu recomendo mais pelas pessoas que querem aprender português do brasil.
This video is for me thanks! I have a few language exchange partners but they are not confident with speaking English whilst I’m ready to go!! I’ve started speaking to myself but my reading and writing is miles more advanced than my speaking. I find the Angolans are more available for telephone calls.
Thank you Liz . Your a diamond lady . Practise teacher next . I look forward to telling you Ive had a conversation without 50% sign language lol . It will happen . Because I'm in last house Lutao Martimlongo . I can go days without seeing people to talk to . But when I do I am fine with laughing along the way . That's great tips . Thank you :). Rod not Harry lol new phone joke name :)
thanks for another great video! I agree with the idea of getting out of your comfort zone, when I moved to Portugal I started volunteering to force me to (try to) communicate with people and then even joined a theatre project and got to speak a little Portuguese on stage. It has been hard to maintain speaking practice during the pandemic though :(
Volunteering is a great idea, I want to organise this but yes the pandemic getting in the way is such a pain… my students tend to meet people over Zoom or in their local area. I tell them to try your conversation class too!
@@TalktheStreets thank you! Our group is getting established now and the regular people are finding it useful, but I'm sure it good be good for a lot more people
@@daschy123 Hi, it is linked to our Facebook group and we learners meet up every Tuesday and Friday at 6pm (PT time) to practice speaking. So it isn't really a class, sometimes we just chat, other times we have a theme that we prepare for and sometimes we have guests (teachers) It is not meant to replace formal classes, just a safe space to practice speaking
@Ava yes there European Portuguese on there also.There are various Portuguese speakers on there from Portugal, Brazil, Angola,cape Verde.You just have to change the native speaker country.Its pretty simple and easy to use in my opinion.The only issue of course would be the time difference between countries.
Here you go ! One more new video and one thumbs up for ya ! Really appreciate what you doin’ ! Keep goin’ looking forward to your upcoming videos ! Thank you 🙂
I love your videos and I always apply your advices to my French because I’m at the intermediate level and they usually help me but I’m a total beginner in Portuguese. By the way , what’s your origin ? You have this beautiful Mediterranean looks and I thought you might be originally from Portugal .
Olá Liz, I am struggling to find a European Portuguese exchange talker. I have tried tandem but none have European Portuguese as a 1st language. Any suggestions?
I agree! I installed Tandem and uninstalled it immediately. Portuguese is the only European language that is not represented by an European flag, it's offensive. I prefer using HelloTalk!
@@TalktheStreets I just noticed your reply now, and thank you. I don't recall which video I was looking at the time, it was more of a general question. I'll let you know if I still can't find it. I'm getting sidetracked with all my moving plans and being inundated with information. So I need to find some balance and at least look do some language practice each day. BTW, are you still planning on doing the beginner's course?
It's probably an incorrigible habit of mine but I always say 'peço desculpe' whenever someone corrects me after I make a mistake because I feel horrible for insulting their language. And they feel bad for correcting me since they feel they're being mean for correcting me and I have to reassure them that no it's exactly what I want, strict corrections for even the tiniest of mistakes. What do I do to prevent the awkwardness?
LOL the battle of politeness. Just swap "desculpe" for "obrigado" so they know you are grateful for the correction! You would never ben insulting, you are a dream student.
@@TalktheStreets aww thank you so much Professora, that's very kind of you. I just demand very high standards from myself when it comes to languages so I'm rather severe on myself for making errors 😄 The reverse isn't true however, if someone's learning mine I'll feel amazing for their attempts 😃

Who have you been speaking with, how it is going? Let me know!

I've been speaking to my friend from Miami as well as my friends here from Angola. I love the variation of the accents!
I tried talking to my nephew in Portuguese, his response, you don’t need to, I understand you, as if I only talk to him. 😊
I just wanted to say that I really value your content. Thank you so much.

Well done!! Tip #11 should have been have a glass of wine...
Comparto este conselho. O álcool (em moderação) ajuda-me sempre a falar. 🍷 Saúde!
@@DCLayclerk , no Brasil dizemos "compartilho" ao invés de "comparto", porém, o ocorrido se deu em Portugal, então você está correto 😂
Eu gosto muito da Tandem. Encontrei alguns parceiros, mas agora com dois ou três ( 2 brasileiros e um de Portugal) tenho conversas regulares!
Ótimo!!
I recommend HelloTalk.
Beautiful teacher.
Amazing content, Liz!! Your videos really help me to stay motivated and practice Portuguese daily. Thank you so much! 💛
Already at 6 k?! Nice!
Há muito tempo que estou a usar "Tandem", essa aplicação me ajudou muito!!
No entanto não há muitos portugueses... Eu recomendo mais pelas pessoas que querem aprender português do brasil.
Nem sequer há a opção "Português 🇵🇹" nessa app.
Uso o HelloTalk.
Speaking with my portuguese co-workers. Although they all speak english perfectly, I sometimes do short calls with them one-on-one in portuguese!
NICE
Muito obrigado.
prazer!

Olá de Itália 😊
Obrigadissima pelo vídeo!
Estudo português e tenho um nível médio (B2).
Há alguém interessado em falar italiano?
Thanks Liz that was a great video. Just trying to build up the bottle to take the next step!!
You can DO IT!! Just take it a step at a time. 1. Find someone to talk with 2. Set a date 3. Prep 4. Do it 5. Feel super proud of yourself 6 Repeat!!!
Muito obrigado pelo 'link', Liz.

I need a European Portugues learning partner for my American English. I’m in Lisboa. MuitObr
Excelentes dicas e ótimo vídeo!
Gosto muito dos seus videos, mas admiro porque não ensinas na lingua portuguesa em vez do inglês?
Porque ela está a ensinar Português para pessoas que falam Inglês!
Fantastic video Liz!! ✨✨
I really appreciate your channel and content as well. Congratulations! Greetings from Brazil.

@@europeanportugueseresource6097 Hi! sounds good. Is it possible to join you and is the Facebook group called as your nickname? :)
I wish i had a language partner for European Portuguese, my partner is fluent and he just is Not a teacher at heart 😅
It's best not to practice with partners, you need a stranger, it makes it easier! Check out one of the apps or forums!
I need a partner to start learning g too
Obrigadaaaa!!! 🥰🔮💫✨🌻
Thanks for the tips.Tandem is a great app.I'm currently using it as we speak.I have language partners from Portugal and Angola.
Hi! I saw that you liked Tandem, did you find a European Portuguese speaker there or are you just practicing with Brazilian portuguese?
@Ava yes there European Portuguese on there also.There are various Portuguese speakers on there from Portugal, Brazil, Angola,cape Verde.You just have to change the native speaker country.Its pretty simple and easy to use in my opinion.The only issue of course would be the time difference between countries.
@@DaCleva1 how can you change the native speaker's country there? I am constantly being contacted by Brazilian people only.
Here you go ! One more new video and one thumbs up for ya ! Really appreciate what you doin’ ! Keep goin’ looking forward to your upcoming videos ! Thank you 🙂
Please explain hle and lo after words
Anyone has found an exchange partner? I imagine it has to be online these days - any tips as to which sites to use?

By the way , what’s your origin ? You have this beautiful Mediterranean looks and I thought you might be originally from Portugal .

Olá Liz, I am struggling to find a European Portuguese exchange talker. I have tried tandem but none have European Portuguese as a 1st language. Any suggestions?
Check Facebook groups!
As a Portuguese myself, I would never use Tandem, they don't even have the "Portuguese 🇵🇹" option, it's ridiculous.
What would you use, perhaps it would be nice for you to share it here to help others?
I agree!
I installed Tandem and uninstalled it immediately.
Portuguese is the only European language that is not represented by an European flag, it's offensive.
I prefer using HelloTalk!
Where is the description in these videos that contain additional information?
It is underneath the video! What are you looking for, I can send the link.

Super compreensíveis 🤣
