      I know what you mean. You are lucky! This is a good problem because is easier to speak Portuguese if you already speak Spanish. The grammar is very similar, you need to worry about the sound of the letters "L", "J", "R", "S" when you are studying :)

I’ve visited Brazil 18 times and I practice every day with my girlfriend who only speaks Portuguese but I still can’t understand her and I have to translate everything into English to understand.

    What does it mean to think in Portuguese? I don’t think in any language. I think in images and ideas like I’m watching a movie. I’ve been studying Portuguese for 9.75 years now and I’ve visited Brazil 18 times but I still can’t read or converse and I have to translate everything into English to understand. I study and practice every day. I’ve been practicing every day with my girlfriend for 6.5 years but I still can’t understand her unless I translate every word and she speaks very slowly. How can I learn how to understand people when they speak without translating?

      Hey Pat (I'm also Pat lol) question for you... do you have an inner voice? The way you describe thinking in images makes me think you might not. It's uncommon, but depending on which study you go by, only like 5-10% of the world's population doesn't have one. Most people don't even know this is a thing and have no idea that there are people who think in a different way. The only reason I even know is because I have a coworker who doesn't have one and it somehow came up in conversation once.
      Here's the definition: "Also referred to as “internal dialogue,” “the voice inside your head,” or an “inner voice,” your internal monologue is the result of certain brain mechanisms that cause you to “hear” yourself talk in your head without actually speaking and forming sounds."
      I don't know how it would affect language learning, but I'm pretty sure that's the issue you're running into. When he says think in Portuguese, it's like if I'm at the gym and counting reps in my mind... "One, two, three..." but by thinking in Portuguese, my brain would switch to internally saying "Um, dois, três"

      @@wake118 that’s one of the things I was thinking about because I was shocked when I heard that people had an inner monologue. Good job using your brain! I kept having people tell me to think in Portuguese and I had no idea what they were talking about. When I read or hear people speaking English the stream of words create a movie in my head. Images and ideas. It happens in high speed too. But when I hear Portuguese that doesn’t happen. I have to translate everything on word at a time into English and then read it in English. It’s a slow process or doesn’t work when reading. Thanks for the help!

    Music over your voice, why? You want us to listen to movies because the vocal is clear, then you muddle your vocal with music. For people learning, the less interference we have for the words the better. It is this reason i avoid movies, the music makes it harder to hear the nuances of the spoken words.

    • @portuguese_classes
      @portuguese_classes  6 месяцев назад +2

      You are right :) Have you been in Brazil? You can practice without a music background, but in a real conversation in a bar or on the streets, you will always have a lot of noise interference :) Thanks for watching!!!
      I will change the music for the next videos :)

      @@portuguese_classes true, in a bar, street, etc, there is other noise. But i am not sitting on a bench on a busy street trying to get an ear for the language as a beginner. The main part of words is less affected, but the small subtle parts we barely speak are affected. For example... As an absolute total beginner at A zero level only dreaming of A1, is the M in "sim" pronounced as a soft M or soft N? Is the M on Com Licenca pronounced as an M, N or silent or something else? With additional noise the soft part cannot be heard at all. Experienced speakers and natives have no issues because, well, we fill in the gaps of sounds... Like.... Sgo non ta nai is heard as Whats going on tonight. All languages do this. And things like Black Coffee in English is said with one K sound, not even a dragged out one. Like esta aqui will be similar with the same sound end at one word and beginning of another. Those are the small things the background sounds drown out that native speakers of their own languages intrinsically are not affected by, and so do not notice the affect. Thanks.

      ​ I understand what you are saying and in some sense I agree, however the added noise , music, talking etc... Can help you listen more intently.It forces you to listen to the content and pay attention. This is how it will be in real life anyway.
      When I come across a word that I am unsure how to pronounce. I'll put it in my translator and it makes much clearer. ​@@MisterGames​

      @@portuguese_classes While that's true for background noise, the problem I find at an early stage of learning (I'm mid A2 and living in Rio) is that if I can't hear something clearly and I ask them to repeat it, they automatically assume I don't understand and switch to English. That or they whisper as if they are unsure if I'll understand them lol
