This video reminds me of when I was in the UK- in London. I wasn't able to say anything in English. What I did was to learn some simple words and sentences by heart, and then I used them with the first people I came across in the street. I also tried to use my imagination. Think for a second Liz. In a pharmacy, you will not talk about films, cinema, fruits and vegetables. You are going to talk about pills. OK, just imagine what kind of sentences you will say and hear in a chemistry shop. Then associate similar sounds and words with your native language. Bear in mind, that in Portuguese there are false cognates. I still remember when I said, I was constipated" in London. What I wanted to say was " I have the flu". Estou constipado.
Thank you so much for the encouragement and language support, Liz. Amazing working with you! ❤️ Thank you!!!! 🙏 Hope others feel encouraged to give it a go. - Josh & Kalie
@@michaelsparks8632 Thanks. We appreciate you checking this out and encouraging us. Kalie’s the real MVP. We hope you enjoy Liz’s channel as much as we do!! - Josh & Kalie
Parabéns Kalie, perfeito. A propósito, esse pastel de nata não tinha chocolate 😋 O Porto é a minha cidade também, tudo do melhor para vocês, até à próxima 👍
Liza, your enthusiasm is very infectious. But I understand this is how little kids learn their native language, by excitement and encouragement from their parents. You're the perfect language teacher and hope to use more of your videos.
I am Portuguese and your pronunciation is quasi native! Fabulous! 🇵🇹❤️ very proud of you! Also 20 years ago we did not have iced coffee! 😄 M at the end of words is always nasal, so don’t close your lips.
Very impressive! I live in South Africa.. My first language is English, second language Afrikaans, and then a little Xhosa which is an "Indigenous Black official" language! Our neighbouring Country is Mozambique... Their one official language is Portuguese, I visit this African Country regularly... So determined to communicate better... My heart and Soul lives for my beautiful continent.. AFRICA.
In UK absorbed Duolingo , I know , ooops but now living in Portugal since March 2020 cafe helps , buying a house definitely a stretch but my favourite is speaking with neighbours re gardening... my interest. Thank you Liz for your wonderful videos xx
Have loved your channel for a while Liz! Extra special to see Kalie on here bc I love her and Josh’s channel @expats everywhere! Way to go Kalie! Congratulations! Thank you ladies for teaching how to order my favorite drink!! 👏🙏💓👏🙏💓
This entire thing was perfect! I would totally love to see more situational specific videos like this thrown into the mix if/when you get the opportunities and if you enjoyed doing this. Really cool. Thanks for all of your amazing videos!
@@TalktheStreets Not yet, but very soon! We are busy packing and getting ready to move to Lisbon...France is so far banned from entering Portugal, but we are hopeful and making plans to move to Seville temporarily if need be!! So excited to hop on the upside of this life rollercoaster!!
Em regra não dizemos que "tenho fome", mas sim "gostava de comer alguma coisa" ou simplesmente "o que é que posso comer" e no caso concreto "o que posso comer (que tenha) / (com) chocolate?"
Entendendo que são estrangeiros, acredito que serão bem entendidos, até saberem fazer frases maiores. Claro que não dizemos que temos fome dessa forma, no entanto, para iniciar/simplificar é necessário para a malta não desanimar! Acredito que mais tarde ela vai fazer frases mais complexas. hehe
Btw good luck going Portugal and trying to find anywhere where you can order iced coffee and oatmilk. Those are the sort of things you won’t be very likely to find outside the U.K.. If you go to a café in Portugal you’re very likely to either have regular milk or nothing. 😅
@@TalktheStreets Yep, not saying that in a bad way, btw, just thought it would be good to let people know, sure in Lisbon you might find it easily, but a lot of the usual things ppl are used to in the UK will not be common in Portugal in general.
Hi Jake! I don't, but I do have an awesome online program you should consider joining. You can try a free taster lesson here: www.talkthestreets.com/speak-portuguese-like-a-pro
With this video you would have a better shot when your face is filmed the same way as the girl who is learning the language. So straight face front instead of above from the side. Remember that your charming smile is an important asset that people like to see and ik helps with listening.
1. I recommend not practicing with family or partners as this tends to happen, practice with people outside the house 2. Sit her down and tell her that every time she does that, it breaks your confidence and you need her to build you up instead!
4:20 Você, que ensina português, tem observado que os estrangeiros, quando pronunciam uma palavra terminada em "m", seguida de outra começada com vogal, tendem a criar sílabas tipo "sem açúcar" = se ma çú car... "em ordem" = e mor dem. Sendo que a pronúncia tanto no europeu como no brasileiro seria mais próxima de "sem açúcar" = se nha çú car... "em ordem" = e nhor dem ??? ou eu estaria enganado ???
I think a dedicated English speaker could probably gain decent ability in Portuguese in 7 days...if they spent almost all their time for a week doing nothing but activities related to Portuguese language. Study, usage, watching. There's a lot of cognates with English and you'd learn some of the "cheat codes" early on. The problems are (in no particular order): 1) people have jobs 2) people have other interests 3) people get burned out Among numerous other things. So spending 10+ hours a day for an entire week doing Portuguese? It's probably not practical. You'd reach a point of diminishing returns. You'd really have to be wired a certain way in order to commit to it in such a hardcore way. I say this as someone who has spent a lot of time over the last 5-6 years studying Portuguese, when I've both had the time and interest to do so. I feel better now than I ever did before, but I know there's still a ton of progress still to be made. I have written down notes, which is good, but I'm really poor at looking over those notes afterwards. It would help if I did that more often.
You cannot learn any language in seven days. I think it is stupid to even try such a challenge. If you already know Spanish you can understand most of what is said (more in Brazil than in Portugal), read almost everything, and be understood by most people. If you speak Italian, it might be harder but it won't take too long. A French speaker will take longer because vocabulary and phonemes are more different from French. I was a Spanish speaker who moved to Brazil and it wasn't that difficult to be able to converse, be understood and understand. Moving to Portugal was much more of a challenge because I considered Brazilian Portuguese to be more attractive and it was hard to make the transition. Imagine an English person speaking RP moving to Glasgow and having to understand Glaswegian or moving to Newcastle and having to understand Geordie. Most Brazilians who arrive in Portugal love the country and find the people to be kind and polite but struggle with accepting the language.
What strategies do you use to improve your Portuguese FAST? Let me know in the comments 👇
I like reading articles with the audio on so I can follow and the words stick easily :D
@@keanancupido hey this sounds really helpfull! Do you maybe have a link? So I can practice as well
Praticar com nativos se é possível, ou pelo menos ouvir português em vídeos. Obrigado Elizabeth!

An English Liz teaching Portuguese ...priceless... well Done !
The teacher is awesome!! Very very helpful.
I can’t figure out when you use “a senhora vs minha senhora”? Any tips? 😃
Vou aproveitar

Thanks for the feedback! More like this coming for sure 😇
The guy understood that she is learning portuguese and he was very patient. Some people aren't patient and it breaks the student's confidence.
True! He was lovely
Que bom, you did really well Kalie! Fantástica ^_^ 🇵🇹🍀
Uau, é terça-feira já hoje? 😲
Mission accomplished Kallie!!!
Kalie is doing GREAT！
Well done! Seems like such a simple thing but that's really tough. Great to hear it go so well!
Kailie você foi incrível! Great job!!!! :) Que tal fazer mais desafios como esse? I would love to see it! You're amazing!
muito bem, bravo,
Great job Kalie!! Cia was clapping. 💕💕 @expatseverywhere
Isn’t Cia adorable?!? 😍😍😍
could you share some ideas/methods about how to improve listening skill? Especially for learners who are not living Portugal. Thanks :)
Olá Lizz, poderias explicar os condicionais por favor?
Great video! Kalie you did great and Liz you have given me inspiration and seem like a great teacher!!
Yesss you can do it! Are you living in Portugal? Its time to take the plunge and learn 😎

Feições e beleza tipicamente portuguesas.
The tecaher is awesome"Very very helpful
É importante dar um reforço positivo quando alguém está tentando aprender um idioma, mas ...
Congratulations for your effort, it was very good 😍🇵🇹
Obrigado pelo video, Liz! 👍
Loved this! What a great video idea. Liz is killing it
What a coincidence. The video I posted yesterday is focused on how to order a coffee and some other beverages in Portuguese. Btw, love your accent. 😊
This was really helpful. Thanks Liz.
These lessons are very good!

I love how Cia seemed to clap for Kalie when she sat down in the cafe at the end of the challenge ;-)
I know adorrrrbs
muito bem !
Thank you Liz- this is awesome stuff! Really helpful. Not sure if I missed the link- did you mention 250 flash cards?
Yes I did, the link is in the description - you can also find it here: www.talkthestreets.com/frequency-words/?
Brazilian like more the hot coffee 👍🏻 brasileiros preferem café quente 🇧🇷
Olá respeitada professora, quanto tempo já está em Portugal?
4 anos! Mas vim pela primeira vez em 2006.
Good job! Kalie🧁☕️
A coffee shop in Portugal that allows you to have iced oat coffee and pay by card? you must tell me where!!!
Nicole here- interesting
U re best

I think it depends where you are, lots of places here will offer it now but you are right, they are not the traditional places.

Do you give private lessons?

Quero uma meia de leite com pouco café . Leite de aveia não gosto. Sou guloso e quero tudo com açúcar . :)
Best way to improve is listening to music or watch movies
I agree! Do you have any movies to recommend?
Yes please! Suggestions!
I know of brazilian movies but to find movies from Portugal i guess netflix
Maybe listen to news from Portugal
I am from Puerto Rico and before moving to the United States i used.to watch a lot of television in english
That was fun and I know that bartender😂abraços
🤩
Queria alguma coisa com chocolate

Depois de pedir a bebida, só bastava dizer que queria "comer" algo para juntar à bebida, dizer que tem fome não faz sentido
O ké isto.
The only languages you can learn in 7 days are Esperanto and Toki Pona.
🤣
What if you live with a girlfriend that makes fun of you when you try to speak Portuguese, 😭🤣?
1. I recommend not practicing with family or partners as this tends to happen, practice with people outside the house 2. Sit her down and tell her that every time she does that, it breaks your confidence and you need her to build you up instead!

That are some stuff that make more sense in PT-BR and others that make more sense PT-PT, although brazilian dialects vary a big deal..
