false friends can be hilarious. My father-in-law (fluent in French) ordered a "gateau" (cake) in a cafe. The waiter was in despair, as my fil kept insisting "gateau, gateau, gateau". In the end, the waiter did bring him a gato (cat) :D Makes me smile everytime I hear the word gato/gateau!

Spanish is my native language, I learned English as ESL, it was very hard for me since I don't consider myself good in languages , even Spanish grammar and spelling was a nightmare. I had excellent English teachers and one told me " most of English words with more than 3 syllabus has the same meaning in spanish" let's focus on pronunciation. That was a priceless lesson as well as this video. You guys are awesome. Muito Obrigada, Thanks a million, Mil gracias.
i just started learning portuguese after i spent a solo weekend in lisbon, i was looking for something but it was all geared towards brazillian portuguese ,was so happy to find this channel, will become a member too!
Love these two guys. Just discovered this morning on the podcast, and they are so funny and good communicators. I wish all languages have teachers like that.
You guys are awesome, as a Spanish speaker who is learning Portuguese, I can't tell you how helpful this video has been in helping me make vital connections between all three languages. Muito obrigado!
Has anyone found a cheat sheet with all these 5000 words. This has given me the motivation i needed to continue learning. Once i can get through these 5000 then maybe after 2/3000 more words i will improve my vocabulary significantly.
Isto é incrível. In 28 minutes you have improved my Portuguese study by 5000%. Thank you so much for this informative and highly entertaining video. Obrigada!!!
I moved to Braga from Italy about one year ago. Your lessons are the best to learn European Portuguese. So useful and practical! Congratulations, obrigado!
Muito bom. I left Angola when i was 10 y.o, my Portuguese is not so good so I'm using videos to speak better Portuguese bcoz i will need it when i'll go back home.
Thank you so much for reading aloud and showing the words! I need to hear someone say the words that I can already read and understand so that I hear how they sound IRL!
Ola!! Another Canadian here :) Just like the last comment, I have been looking everywhere for good European Portuguese lessons. I also had a terrible time with French, and (it was years and years ago...) I just couldn't master the language even though they taught it in school every day. I really want to be able to have easy conversations with the local people next time I go to Portugal. Obrigada ~~
Thank you , I’m welsh married to a Portuguese guy , this will help , iv tried so many but a lot are Brazilian Portuguese, I so want to have a base so I can talk to family x
That was really smart to congregate these language patterns. It warrants watching a few times to get them down, and as you said, there are plenty of exceptions, but enough to help with my new foundations for learning Portuguese. Obrigado muita.
Fantástico! Toda a gente fala dos falsos amigos, mas isso faz com que os amigos verdadeiros passem despercebidos. O pessoal fica com receio de que os falsos amigos sejam mais do que realmente são.
Just downloaded the pdf. Thank you for the gift of that being for free. I am a homeschooling mom and we are teaching the boys Portuguese. This is an amazing tool for us. Eu sou Azorean, os meus avos chegamos Sao Miguel. We are trying to get Portuguese BACK as this was lost with the loss of my many Aunts/Uncles and Grandparents over time.
@@PracticePortuguese I sent an email. No rush on the membership a few questions. We all watched your Santiago Trek, a bit green and envious. Enjoyed it was wonderful! Thank you for sharing!
For so long I have wanted to find the perfect way to learn Portuguese... just found it with the both of you....GORGEOUS TO LOOK AT AND GORGEOUS TO LISTEN TO. MUITO OBRIGADA
You guys are crazy! Crazio? This is my first introduction to Portuguese and I get it when explained with cognates. I speak English, pretty good French and some Spanish os I have noticed the similar root words which helps a lot. I hope to be staying in Portugal so I hope to run into you maniacs. Ciao. Xx
Thank you guys for the video, very helpful. You guys had great chemistry together and you look like such good friends. Take care of yourselves and each other.
Excellent logic on learning! Congrats guys and thanks for thinking of these lessons. Will get back to you once I finish with the three lessons and share my feedback on how it worked in practice. Best!
we were struggling a little bit with the enormity of learning a language but this video has given us hope! We really enjoyed it and knowing 5000 words are similar is a big boost to any student. Thank you.
Thank you! I just started learning due to my whole family being portugese but born and bred in RSA so you know most of my breds are english. I will watch all your videos! 😊 🙏.
Bless you guys! You just made my learning a lot quicker by highlighting these 'falsos amigos'! Thanks for sharing the PDF too! Your presentation was well done too! Thanks again.
You guys just blew my mind! I watched the vowel pronunciation video before this one and was ready to accept the fact that I will never be able to learn Portuguese... and now there is hope again!! Thanks a lot!
So cool, you two! My husband and I will be visiting the Azores, and we had given up learning Portuguese beyond bom dia, boa tarde, boa noite, etc. We’re no longer Spring chicks, and it all felt a little overwhelming (old dog, new tricks, if you will). However, you’ve given us a fresh, new desire to carry on... Thanks!
You guys are amazing and hilarious, just the best combination to learn! I'm a Costa Rican living in Portugal, and as a Spanish speaker should be easier for me to learn as the languages are really similar, but the truth is, in Spanish we have much more «falsos amigos» so is easier to make mistakes like Joel did! (Good thing is then we have some funny stories to tell) Excellent work and keep going!!!
You guys are amazing! I'm just a beginner and your podcasts and this video help me tremendously. Also, it was great to match voices to your faces :) Keep it up!
Thank you this is very helpful I've studied Spanish before and had noticed similar cognates and wondered if Portuguese also had same or similar Cognets you guys are great and all of us really appreciate the help that you were giving us my parents are moving to Portugal and I desire most deeply to learn Portuguese and I am incredibly grateful that you were taking your time to make these videos
I’ve been trying to find European Portuguese videos for the longest and now that I found you two, I feel so grateful. This video was very helpful and made me feel so much better. Besides English, I speak Spanish fluently, and have some moderate understanding of Italian as well, so I’m hopping that portugués isn’t too hard. I didn’t want to jump straight into learning vocabulary because chances are that I won’t even remember anything at all. I prefer learning pronunciation, that way I can look for patterns and even attempt to say words on my own.
Found your channel and loving it! Married to a Portuguese guy for almost 20 years so better late than never learning! Thanks for all the resources to learn European Portuguese. Speaking of funny stories about false cognates, we were coming up with names for our first born son and my in laws were horrified that I wanted his middle name to be “Connor”. I had no idea what that word was in Portuguese 😳 Compromise was Colin. That was safe! 🤣🇵🇹
ah ah! That was funny !! Did you know that Hyundai had the same problem with one of their cars? In Portugal they had to change their "Kona"cars to "Kauai". Same car different name. LOL
This is perfect! Esse é perfecto! (?) I noticed the pattern and connection to Latin colonization but didn't know what it was called. Now I can search for words lists to practice.
This is BRILLIANT!! I've been searching for an video like this for SO long. Thank you so much, Guys! And so brilliant that it's European Portuguese too.
Fantástico! The video is over 4 years old but looks fresh as ever and really works for those who are simply interested in European Portuguese and are beginners - intermediate. I was away from learning the language for a while and have recently been back on board, thanks to Practice Portuguese! Love your sense of humour, Rui and Joel, you make the learning platform a fun place to come back to :)
Wow, this is a huge discovery. Thank you both for this free information. Not sure why there are thumbs down this video is incredibly useful and fun. Thanks guys!
@@PracticePortuguese Your videos are really helpful. Would you please advise whether there is a book which summarize those 5000 words? I am eager for the book. Thanks in advance. Please advise if no so I try to work it out myself.

Hey amigo, how much did you learn until now , I am so curious to know please tell me
Falo português, andava à procura de aulas de PT europeu para uma amiga e vocês são o que melhor encontrei!
Wow… I watched this video twice and then made a detailed note .. 5000 words … Muito Muito obrigada
