One small detail... "Desculpa" is when you know someone... If you don't know the person you say "desculpe". No gender there, you use it for male of female.
Hello Wolter, I'm big fan of your channel. Let me ask you a question. Do you have plans to meet with your subscribers? Like, a meetup or something similar.
I love the opening music Wolter! I'm not on my usual account cause I'm in Costa Rica. Egypt flag! 🌴 camel! Sorry, my travel phone doesn't have the normal emojis.
I am 14 hours into 150 hours of portuguese language training for my passport app certification. my latin & french helps with the written word but the spoken part is tough. every word has a gender and every group of words has at least one exception. then after you painfully learn the grammer you watch a portuguese show, like Sabio, and they speak so fast while dropping or blurring those little words you have tried so heard to learn.
Saying "Bom dia" and "Obrigado/a" is the least you can ask of a foreigner, what is regrettable is seeing most people not even bothering to do that, just "thank you" all the time.
Thanks for posting this video! Like you I learned Portuguese as a second language. By the way, one of the captions is wrong: it should read "Eu não falo português" instead of "Eu não fala (...)'. Keep up the good work!
It appear so, but no. Stupid thing is. Portuguese from Portugal, not even brasilians understand. And they speak the same language!! Spanish and Italians don't understand nothing of Portuguese. On the other hand, we do understand them.
OBRIGADO. Now I know that if I get dropped on my BUNDA in Portugal I will be all right, but I prefer to stay in our family's home in Northern eastern Brazil and hang out at my wife's SORVETE Shop😏
In my experience, so many Portuguese also knew Spanish words so I was able to converse in Spanish with them when I didn't know the Portuguese word. One bad thing about learning simple phrases in Portuguese, or any country with a different language for the matter, is that when you state a sentence in the foreign language, you may get the person speaking with you in many other sentences because they assume you know the language more than just a few phrases.
in Portugal you must speak Portuguese or English alternatively. Speaking any other language, whether Spanish or French, is considered by many to be disrespectful. Most of the time people will respond because Portuguese or Brazilians are very friendly people. Saying "Bom dia" and "Obrigado/a" is the least you can ask of a foreigner, what is regrettable is seeing most people not even bothering to do that, just thank you all the time.
@@frapiment6239 I agree. A tourist should at least use those 2 phrases. When traveling it is necessary for people to do a lot of things for you such as give directions, serve you food, etc. The least a person can do is to learn how to say "thank you" in the native language.
I am a Permanent Resident of Brazil meaning I have lived comfortably in the Northeast in a small village for the last two years instead of reading falsehoods somewhere. I have not witnessed a single crime or accident in the two years I have been here. When i lost my I Phone between the community park and our compound the local community helped me look for it until we found it was dropped along the way. Don't believe these common myths, you do the good people of Brazil a disservice. 😉
@@chuckh4077 "Video", well that explains it. If you did not catch it before I am an actual "Permanent Brazilian Resident" who has lived comfortably in Northeast Brazil. The only thing I see on video are the 10 American streaming networks I get in my home. I have to remind you that BRAZIL is a very, very, very big country. It occupies HALF of South America and is the 5th largest country in the WORLD. It is at least 86% as big as the United States. Blah, blah, blah Brazil is a massive generalization. Just like you would not tell someone to go to the United States because you have "video" of violence and there is a whole, lot it is inaccurate to say that of Brazil. In a lot of countries, you may see violence in the larger cities, but that is only a part of the country and does not represent the people or places in Brazil.

As a portuguese I have to say that your accent is absolutely perfect
I thought this was an ad for a company called "Sim Yes". Then I had my coffee. 😂
Thank you! Great tips!
In Australia “Oi” is used to get somebody’s attention. 00:52
Hi Wolter, I love your class! Thanks or obrigada!😊😊

i know Walter picked the Sporting jersey :)
SLB, GLORIOSOOOOO, SLB!!sorry but we are Benfica supporters.
hello portugal
remember, in portuguese, every word has a gender
Great to know, thanks. I speak elementary level Spanish. The idea that Obrigado even has a gender really surprised me.
Your Portuguese accent (as in, from Portugal) is awesome!
Hello Wolter, I'm big fan of your channel. Let me ask you a question. Do you have plans to meet with your subscribers? Like, a meetup or something similar.
Wolter's World subscribers should meet in Egypt! 🇪🇬🐪🌴 Wolter has talked about going there.
I had no problems and enjoyed foz do iguaca, the waterfall and stayed 4 nights on the Brazilian side. Never went to the Atlantic.
I love the opening music Wolter! I'm not on my usual account cause I'm in Costa Rica. Egypt flag! 🌴 camel! Sorry, my travel phone doesn't have the normal emojis.
Koji is my other account! I'm back from Costa Rica! 🇪🇬🐪🌴
Don't ask for a "bica" here in Porto. It's "café" or "cimbalino".

Wow, you accent is pretty good. I did see what mistake/typo. You should say " Não falo português and NOT "Não fala português."

That type of typos that makes you have to re-upload your video ouch haha!
@@vommir. Indeed!
Don't, I mean don't, ever speak Spanish in Portugal. They do not like it at all and will let you know it. Seriously
Bom dia, in Brazil, is actually spoken Bom Djiiia
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
I would assume that Spanish, Italian and Portuguese can at least understand each other
It appear so, but no. Stupid thing is. Portuguese from Portugal, not even brasilians understand. And they speak the same language!! Spanish and Italians don't understand nothing of Portuguese. On the other hand, we do understand them.
After learning 4 years of Spanish, Portugese pronunciation and spelling breaks my brain. 😭
Дякую тобі сурер❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I'm so sad for Portuguese. More than half of them have died in the recent years 😢😢😢
Here...here is my wallet. Don't hurt me!
The pronunciation of these phrases is different in Brazil though
BENFICA!
To survive brazil you have to have an off duty cop nearby and learn how to street fight. Blanka is their top street fighter and national hero.

@roddiesimmons8773 i see actual video evidence that's its dangerous there. Watch active self protection vids for more info.
