Thanks for asking it. As I do speak Spanish (fluency in it is open to debate), I can say to you: When it comes to speaking Spanish, it is kind of tricky. In written vocabulary, they are very similar (80 to 90% of similarities). However, in the "spoken" language, this percentage may vary between 40 to 60%. The tip? With Spanish, you can focus on speaking and searching for the "tricky" words (false friends). I was talking with a friend and I said: "Mira, por qué no hacemos una ligación?" He said: "Hey, it is llamada, not ligación". Therefore, Spanish can and is tricky for portuguese speakers; focus on practicing your speaking skill and go search for "tricky" words.

Thanks, Matheus. Yeah, it is a great way to immerse yourself in the language (I did it too). However, I don't think it is a must, you know? A person can be fluent in a second language without switching the phone's language. What do you think?

@@user-jm2kj7ym1z Thanks, Hyago. I appreciated your words so much! 🤝

@@d-darkness-within That’s awesome; keep it going!! 🤝

@@d-darkness-within Opa, tudo bem? Olha, legal mesmo. Com 21 anos, já sabendo todos esses idiomas aí, é bem possível mesmo. Boa jornada para ti! 🤝

@@matheusmagentanz4604 You’re welcome, Matheus.

Thanks for your comment. Well, I don't really know if Indians sound the same as they do in movies, but it's kind of hard to understand them (in movies). I ask a question: is the indian accent the same as in the movies?

@@FrontLines07 Valeu pelo comentário. Tenho certeza que você pode chegar e passar do meu nível! 🤝

@@douglaslewandowski3815 Obrigado, Douglas. Bom saber que você gosta! 🤝

Goin' pretty well, Matheus. What about you? Answering your question: No, I didn't. However, not because I didn't like those websites... I had no money to.

@@paulopinheiro6219 Concordo contigo, Paulo. Por isso que eu não gosto muito de falar coisas do tipo: “ah, você DEVE aprender número x de palavras por dia.” Cada pessoa com sua própria rotina; umas mais puxadas, outras mais leves… é a vida.

Exato exato, não sei se conhece a história de Jack barsky ex-espião , segundo ele , ele teve de aprender 100 palavras por dia em inglês, e na época ele tinha tempo, então ele pegava tudo que não sabia e fazia flashcards.Achei interessante mas pra min não dá 😂

@@paulopinheiro6219 🤣

Hey, tem alguma recomendação de materiais para aprender japonês???

@@hulkaq Opa, tudo bem? Materiais, não; posso te recomendar a página NHK Easy News (algo assim). Este site é sobre notícias do Japão.

@@TiagoReis-q2w Valeu, Tiago. Esse método que você usa é eficiente, realmente. Posso dizer que é o mesmo que eu uso. Uma pergunta: você costuma ouvir/assistir conteúdos em velocidade reduzida - aquele vídeos para iniciantes!? É uma pergunta genuína que faço (eu não tenho o costume de ouvir coisas devagar).

@@mateusidiomas eu prefiro repetir o audio/video ao inves de reduzir a velocidade. acredito que fica mais proximo ao natural da lingua falada e evita de criar uma "zona de conforto fake" no cerebro. um abraco.

@@estudecomalari Hi, how are you? I speak: Portuguese, English, Spanish and a bit of French. English: I started learning it in 2013 through TH-cam videos, gameplays and reading. Spanish and French (not fluent in French; Spanish may be questionable): I started learning them in 2021 through listening and reading. Best regards.

@@j4513 Thanks for your comment! Your point is quite interesting. I have no idea how I sound in English; the same may apply to you (with the other languages you speak). So, my tip is: embrace your own accent and you’ll feel even better, haha. Best regards.

@@prismoenglishvideos9463 Thanks for asking it. I don’t remember having this issue while I was learning English, but I do know many who have it. In my opinion, there are two points. The first: The Brazilian accent is easier for you to understand because you’re Brazilian; although the person is speaking english (as you mentioned), we, Brazilians, tend to pronounce the vowels in a way that natives don’t. Second one: natives use connected speech more than we do. So, they “seem” to be faster than us.

@@mateusidiomas understand... Thanks bro

@@DelBel-zx1yy Thanks for your words! 😃

@@paulodetasso7806 Thanks for your words, Paulo!

@@paulodetasso7806 Haha, exactly.

@@estrelatostar9407 Thank you. 😃

@@daminutivo7756 I agree with you. Learninng a language that we have no knowledge about is kind of hard, but if we keep it going, we’ll reach a good level!

Thank you so much for your comment!

O que você falou é um bom ponto, Arthur! Lembro-me que ao ler algo em espanhol na frente de um nativo, ele me disse que quando eu lia rápido era mais compreensível do que quando eu lia devagar.

Boa pergunta, Miguel. Vou gravar um vídeo abordando esse tema; obrigado.

@@paulopinheiro6219 Obrigado pelo comentário, Paulo. 😃

@@paulodetasso7806 Verdade, eu concordo, haha.

@@yogesh5055 Hi, Sir. How are you? Yeah, I do need it. Thanks for asking it.

@@mateusidiomas if you wish I would be your thumbnail designer

@@yogesh5055 Sorry for delaying answering you, I’m kinda busy these days. So, it’s so unpredictable when I record a video (the time), that it makes almost impossible, no?

@@mateusidiomas ok dude 😉

@@KabalXplay Thanks for commenting. I’ll try to do it.

@@miguelcosta5578 Somos dois, então 😂. Sim, a escuta passiva é importante para aprender um novo idioma. 🤝

@@gilfrancisco2811 Valeu pelas palavras, Gil; agradeço MUITO. Continue confiando no processo de aprendizagem, e você chegará no meu nível e ficará ainda melhor do que eu, com certeza! 🤝

Valeu, Douglas. É uma ótima sugestão, e seria menos cansativo, realmente!

Mais uma coisa, para mim é muito importante você falar o Inglês já que é a minha língua almejada.

Obrigado pelas dicas, Miguel. Não sei se é possível fazer isso tudo pelo celular (é o que uso para gravar e postar os vídeos)

@@miguelcosta5578 Sim, sim. Este canal continuará sendo o ''principal''.

Thanks for your words, I appreaciated'em a lot. Unfortunately, I don't know if I can be helpful to you in this regard; I don't know any TH-camr focused in teaching Portuguese.

No problem at all! Thank you for responding. Your English is great, by the way! Keep it up 👌

hey, I maybe have some recommendations! If you want to practice listening and reading without necessarily being a teacher talking about grammar/vocabulary, you can try these books: O Pequeno Príncipe, the Portuguese version of The Little Prince, as long as any book that has a Portuguese translation (or just any book that is in Portuguese) and youtube channels: Você Sabia and Manual do Mundo. They both teach about all kind of things and Manual do Mundo says a bit slower, so it can be better for listening if you want a channel that teaches portuguese, I recommend Easy Portuguese, that teaches indirectly, and Easy Portuguese School, that teaches more directly. Good luck learning Portuguese! I hope I helped. I'm very happy to know you want to learn our language, by the way!

​@@cocozaofritoamilanesa830 Do you mind if I comment? I'm not sure if reading "The Little Prince" is the best way to learn Brazilian Portuguese, unsless that's some kind of "children version" of the book wrote in a simpler vocabulary. While it's a classic, it's a French book with a lot of room for interpretation. If you're looking to learn Brazilian Portuguese, I'd recommend starting with Brazilian literacy materials. For beginners, I suggest exploring classic Brazilian children's and young adult literature like: *A droga da obediência by Manuel Bandeira (often studied in 6th grade) *The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank (not Brazilian, but written in accessible language) Meu pé de laranja lima by José Mauro de Vasconcelos If you're a complete beginner, consider starting with "Turma da Mônica" comic books by Maurício de Souza. You can also explore works by Monteiro Lobato, another Brazilian author known for his children's and young adult literature. These classics are typically studied up to 6th grade, when more advanced grammar is introduced in Brazil. While there are many classic English authors, nothing beats learning Brazilian Portuguese from native Brazilians. Similarly, you'll find numerous classic works translated into Portuguese, including Brazilian authors like Machado de Assis, José Mauro de Vasconcelos, and Clarice Lispector. However, even half of the Brazilian population may struggle to interpret some of these works. Channels: I would suggest, as much as our friend said, "Manual do mundo (science), more approachble language; Coisa de Nerd (technology), and Republica coisa de Nerd; Cade a chave (day by day rotine from a brazilian nice couple that live in Canada), LubaTV (memes), some kind of pew-dee-pie; Atila Iamarino; Ciência Todo Dia; Ciência sem fim (he also has a site and a podcast daily updated!) Well, I have a kind nerd taste for channels, but those one are amazing, there are so many other. We produce amazing TH-camrs with different contents =)

Ah, if you're looking for a teacher / language partnet, can talk to me ^^

@@Caritas0325 You’re welcome. It’s good to know that I’m being of help to all of you. 😃

@@breno7420 Hahahaha. Viajei por lazer, e não dava pra perder essa oportunidade de ter esse cenário como parte do vídeo 😂😂.

@@Empyriummann Thank you for the advice, I’ll try to notice this problem more frequently!

@@mateusidiomas, it's not your fault, that comes with being Brazilian (a native Portuguese speaker whatever). The thing is that "n" or "m" following a vowel in Portuguese does not really constitute a phoneme, and very few people realize that. In fact, it is just a sign that serves as an instruction for you to nasalize the vowel that comes before it, so "an" in Portuguese is pronounced as a single phoneme and could just as well be written as "ã" as far as pronunciation is concerned. Anyway, you sound awesome most of the time, just work on your vowels.

@@diegofreire7827 Thanks, Diego.

@@eloisaalves9666 Thanks for your comment, Eloisa. I understand you pretty much. However, do you agree with me that it is better to be judged for speaking slowly than for making a lot of mistakes for trying to go too fast (although there’s no problem in making mistakes; I’m just making a comparison of what is best)?

@@mateusidiomas Yes, of course. You're right. I'm thinking about that now.
