Hey, I'm brazilian and I starting a youtube channel about languages. I actually haven't recorded any video in portuguese, because I want to use the channel to practice the languages I'm learning, but every video has subtitles in portuguese. Estou gostando muito dos seus vídeos, boa sorte aprendendo português! :)
Seriously, when I’ve listened to Brazilians before , I’ve not been able to understand a scrap lol so very pleasantly surprised that I was able to comprehend extremely well ! So awesome and yes I’m a Spanish speaker though I’ve never lived there but was born in Latin. America! I’ve lived in Australia for the majority of my life : Kudos 👏👏👏
That “Learning languages with Netflix” tip is NEXT LEVEL. I’m going to try that now for my French. Your Portuguese has improved greatly, you sounded very fluid and the little pauses made it sound more natural in my opinion. My language goal is to be at a conversational level in French. 😩
Your Portuguese is so good!! Congrats!! Just two quick pronunciation tips to help you: 1) if a word begins with "r" we pronounce as if it was English's "h", so for instance "razão" won't have really the "r" sound but rather an "h" sound (which in Portuguese is phonetically represented by double "r", as in the word "carro" - car). 2) until you get comfortable with the sound of "LH" you can say it as if it was "LI", for instance "coelho" (rabbit) - it's better to pronounce it as if it was "coelio" than if you say "coelo". ps: I'm Brazilian but I used to live in Portugal and there I used to be a Portuguese tutor to this French student I had so I know how some apparently simple pronunciation tips can really help. Good luck on your language learning journey!!
I dived into learning Portuguese for my husband and in hopes of being in Brazil this summer, but with quarantine my depression really hit harder than normal so I lost motivation and the drive to continue learning. Seeing your progress inspires me to continue!🤗💛
Congrats! I'm still on a intermediate to advanced level of english, at the same time I'm learning spanish and japanese and these videos always inspire us to keep going even if we get frustrated sometimes. Your portuguese is so good. I am brazilian and I was thinking about create a channel and make videos speaking in the languages I'm learning so that maybe in the future I can see how much I've improved.
@@thedevil1667 It’s not easier than you think. I’m Latina and have been studying Spanish( a language Ive been with my whole life) and yet I still can’t speak or write one sentence correctly. It’s so discouraging seeing everyone around me have some knowledge of the language except me.
13:25 meu esconderijo* eu machuquei minha perna* "magoei" is something related to emotion, like "eu magoei minha amiga" your Portuguese is so good!!! I'm currently learning korean and trying to improve my English, you're an inspiration to me
I was listening and watching content for about 6 hours a day as well as doing flashcards/grammar during quarantine. now i have class but I listen as much as I can. learning vocab from content is key
I had a major breakthrough today w/ learning Italian🇮🇹 I heard a native speaker, understood what he was saying, & started a conversation w/ him(truly outside my comfort zone😂) Your videos have helped my language learning a lot GRAZIE MILLE!!!😄
What a queen it blows my mind how fast you progressed in the language but it makes me happy that you didn’t try to lie about your previous classes you took since many polyglots tend to lie about those things 🥰✨
Hey guys, I would love to know if you've ever tried learning a language by yourselves and what some of your tips are. It would love to hear about your experiences! 🌟💖
I've been learning German for the past two and a half months. I would recommend everyone to check out forvo to get that native like pronunciation, and when you start, try to familiarize yourself with the alphabet and how letters in the target language sound, because it will save a lot of time for you in the future because you won't have to fix your pronunciation and people will have an easier time understanding you. For me the most effective methods were the ones that I found difficult to do, and ones which were very exhausting because our brain is a problem solver and it does everything that it has to process become easier, despite other language youtubers/mentors saying to do things you enjoy, so that you make yourself spend time with the language. Grammar wise at the beginning, I wouldn't focus 100% on it, instead I would familiarize myself with what is waiting for me, and introduce myself to the possible changes in sentences and how certain grammar structures work, because I have noticed that grammar acquisition comes in naturally with constantly bombarding yourself with the TL, but independent grammar study is a must when you really want to master the language, but most important thing is VOCABULARY Acquisition: Resources like Anki are great for it, and any sort of reading is essential too.
Also if your language has genders for nouns then learn nouns along with their corresponding gender in single and plural form. Colour coding helps a bit as well e.g. In German der is (masculine) so I highlight der with blue, die (feminine) with pink, das (neuter) stays white, (plurals) die with orange. Mnemonics are an easy way to memorize vocabulary, the weirder the image is, the more memorable it will be.
@@KarenVanessaBuitrago You're welcome. I'm just watching some of your other videos right now and your progress just blows me away. I shall be paying attention to your useful advice from now on haha (and probably asking some questions!)
I'm happy your channel grew so much. Thanks for linking the mini stories, never heard about them and they're super interesting. I feel like they're gonna improve my spanish a lot!
As a portuguese native speaker I truly admire the great job you did. if i ever heard someone speaking Portuguese like that, I'd say it has been a while since the person started learning it
Lots of good ideas here; your method of using difficult words in a paragraph is simple yet genius! Também estou aprendendo português agora (estudei um semestre na universidade em 2012, mas estou tentando praticar de novo). Español es mi segundo idioma y creo que también me ha ayudado a comprender la gramática y algo del vocabulario de portugués. Obrigado pelas dicas, eu vou usá-las para estudar a partir de hoje!
Practice with natives is important. Apps like Tandem, Hello Talk, etc are indispensable to the aspiring polyglot. Sentence mining using screenshots of Netflix programs with subtitles is effective too. Personally, I like using a white board to practice writing sentences, be it practicing new grammar schemes or using newly acquired words in a sentence.
You should do some videos on learning Spanish (even though it's your native language). I'm trying to learn Spanish with a Colombian accent and it would be so helpful.
você aprende muito rápido, não conheço ninguém com um talento desse, eu estou tentando falar, inglês faz muito tempo, e agora que consigo falar algumas palavras, vou continuar vendo seus vídeos, porquê você é um grande exemplo para mim, um dia quero falar o inglês assim como você.

Parabens! I also like languages, I’m a native Spanish speaker, I live in Tijuana, México. Never studied English cause My city in a border town so it came naturally. I took italiano during med school but I think that I rusty, although the music I most listen to is Italian. When I was doing my social service I started learning French and German, my teachers corrected me because I used to many Italian or English words. Recently I started studying portugués but had to switch to self study cause they didn’t open the 3rd level which would have taken me to finish A1 level. Right now I’m in my second year of my doctorate, and I noticed that I can expand on the articles I read cause of my language studies. I still think I need more time for my portugués to be better but I don’t get enough free time. The only thing that I still listen to is music, but now is Italian, French, and Portugués, jajaja with a sprinkle of kpop cause of my daughter. Thanks for the great tips.
Seu progresso no português está excelente para apenas 8 meses de estudo, que é quase o mesmo tempo em que venho aprendendo inglês. Parabéns e saudações do Brasil! 🇧🇷
Eu estou aprendendo inglês desde o ano passado. Acho que o português dela esta bem melhor que meu inglês kkkk Mas como eu ainda tenho mais um tempo para aprender e não estou fazendo nenhum curso pra isso, não to me cobrando demais também. Em 1 ano e 1 mês to entre A2 e B1.
@@PatriciaAlves-rx4hr Também estudo sozinho a pouco mais de um ano. No começo é meio difícil pq a gente fica confuso sem saber direito como estudar, mas os resultados são gratificantes.
Thank you so much for the video I have been getting stumped on what to learn in my target languages next seeing I’m not a beginner and I’m not intermediate either , gracias y buenas suerte con tu año de escuela :)
I have been teaching myself Spanish since mid April. I am conversational and at a B1 level at the moment after self immersing as much as possible every day since then. I decided to listen to your Portuguese first with out reading the subtitles. I was able to understand quite a bit because of my Spanish. I knew generally what you were talking about, just not the specifics. I think Portuguese may end up being language #7 for me now :-) Thank you for your great videos and some inspiration. When you get a chance, can you post a link to the Spanish version of those TH-cam stories? I checked out the Portuguese channel.
Você fala português bem pra caramba! Seus vídeos me motivam a aprender mais línguas e melhorar meus métodos de aprendizagem, amei o vídeo e sucesso com o canal!
na verdade o nome do canal e Speaking Brazilian Language School. Concordo contigo, o canal dela e bom para melhorar a pronuncia do portugues, ela explica tudo devagar, praticamente os sons de cada letra
I use reverso contexto for Spanish and it helps me SOOOO much! Every time I would want certain phrases translated to Spanish it would translate the phrase to multiple ways to say it instead of just one phrase!
Me encanta muchísimo tu historia , gracias por compartir 👏 Es una grande inspiración para mí ❤️ Soy brasileña y tengo el sueño de volverme políglota también , estoy empezando por el español 🤗🤗
Im trying badly at learning spanish. Need to spend more time speaking it or as you say shadowing, as a brit learning any other language is wierd as english is built differently. Right now ive got a 1000 words im trying learn.
english isn't that special lol. spanish and english have a similar word order and share a lot of vocabulary. anyway, stuffing 1000 words in your brain probably isn't the most effective way to learn vocabulary. it works for some people, but if you feel you're not getting anywhere, the method probably just doesn't work for you.
Mi historia animada, those videos helped me with spanish. It allows someone to directly know the necessary words mostly used by normal natives. I have used them to learn Spanish and still do before I transitioned into reading books. Thanks a lot.
Thanks, I did the same thing during lockdown for Japanese and it worked! I stopped because of the uni programs but irealise that IT IS A BIG MISTAKE I HAVE MADE, I feel like forgetting little by little what I have learnt. But as of Tomorrow, I'll resume my Japanese study program. Thanks again.
This is very good information. I'm learning Italian and after about three months of hard work I know roughly 500+ words (probably closer to 600-700 since I'm fluent in Spanish and I pick up random words here and there). I'm using a similar strategy as you but I took away a couple of ideas from you. Nice job and congrats!
Fernando Pessoa is a writer perfect for inspiring the hunger to learn Portuguese. For practicing or inspiring Italian, a movie named Il Postino based on the Poet Pablo Neruda's life can be found on TH-cam. For English like actual AMERICAN english, a writer like Jack Kerouac is a great choice, his voice is crisp and very well articulated. Spanish inspiration and good practice is Julio Cortazar, Jorge Luis Borges from Argentina who knew German, French and English apart from Spanish, Francisco Urondo--Spanish. For French, writer Michel Houellebecq.
that's amazing! congratulations on all your hard work and thanks for the tips. I've started learning Spanish in quarantine but I like Ive wasted a lot of time being sad, anxious and unproductive. 2020 :(
I like your way of grasping the language in depth which is not the case of many polyglots in youtube. There are many polyglots in youtube especially who know few phrases and can make few sentences and they include that language in their resume. However I don't know why many of the people who I knew started learning Portugese and after a while their English speaking somehow started to suck. I found it very frightening and therefore im scared of this language. They worked in Brazil and maybe that had a hand in it. This is totally my observation and i may be totally wrong due to my small sample size. However i would like to suggest you to start learning a language which is outside of Latin root like arabic, farsi or maybe hindi. Arabs and Indians have strong culture which is very different from Europe and can be fascinating for many people. Doing this will also increase your viewers by leaps and bounds as their speakers and listeners are large in number.
oh hi. I loved learning arabic. it was an amazing experience, but I did not take any courses at college and I slowly forgot about it, but I will definitely pick it up again at some point. You are right, I want to learn a language that is not Latin. I think I am going to learn either Russian or Japanese in the near future 😊
@@KarenVanessaBuitrago Nice to hear that you tried arabic. As a matter of fact Russian is also very beautiful language and so is Japanese. Wish you good luck and hope you find success in your future aspirations and endeavors.
Your Portuguese pronunciation is quite good. I'm Brazilian and I've been learning English for 4 years and I'm still not fluent yet, so I know how difficult is to learn a new language, but it's fantastic to know how fast you have learned Portuguese. If you want a native Portuguese speaker to practice your Portuguese with I'd be really happy to help you with that ( but i know that you already have a partner to practice Portuguese language with😭).
Na primeira semana seu sotaque parecia uma mistura de Francês com espanhol, na última parte da para identificar um sotaque mas não exatamente de onde. Você está falando bem fluente. Parabens pelo seu progresso. Well done.
Hey you should use HelloTalk or Tandem to talk to natives. HelloTalk is more like social media so you can make a post when you want help with a paragraph but tandem will let you talk to people in 7 languages without having to pay
Woww, I'm brazilian and your portuguese is even better than mine haha. Congratulations for your progress and thank you for giving us a really good content.
if you are serious about it, everysummer is a language learnt. i learnt most of my english in 2 months. from barely knowing anything to understanding fluently native speakers in many languages. (school didnt hepl me with english :/). after realising people really ahve difficulties with language learning , my friend told me i should be learning more language. so i started japanese in january, swedish 1 and half month later, then chinese 1 and half months ago. i now know basic in those languages. Since i wasnt really serious about it and it was mostly when i was bored i didnt learnt as mush as i could have. Imma try to learn chinese more seriously for 3 month then go to swedish for 2 months (since i've done more swedish learning and it's alot easier for me. This year at school im taking spanish to see how mush i can learn from it to see how my school will do with learning spanish since i know many youtuber polyglot said they are not that great at learning us spanish , but i still wanna see it myself.
It was a happy surprise to come across your channel! I am so excited to listen to the spotify playlists. I am currently learning Italian and German and continuing my studies in French. I would love to take on Portuguese later on. Can you please share your favorite TH-cam channels for learning the above-mentioned languages? Looking forward to your next video! Thank you!!! :)
Fantastic video. Loved the channels. I don't suppose you have ever come across something like this with Japanese? There seems to be a lot of anime out there but something with short, personal experience stories would be fantastic!
Hola. Me pareció interesante tu rutina. La verdad a eso le llamo disciplina, dedicación y sobre todo, pasión. Me da gusto que hayas dedicado la cuarentena a estudiar idiomas. Se ve que tu portugués es bueno. O sea, es bueno y es interesante como muestras tu progreso. Eso sirve para demostrarle a la gente que todo se puede. Y bueno, espero que haya más políglotas como tú y en especial políglotas mujeres y latinas. ¡Sigue así! ;) Saludos desde tierras aztecas.
Thank you for posting this very encouraging video! Thanks for the links you provided. I’ll definitely use the French one. I looked through all the comment but didn’t find any information on the Korean one. I’ll keep looking! Wait, I found your reply about the one for Korean! Thank you so very much!
Hey :) Nice tips and methods! Do you pause the TH-cam video when you don't get the meaning of some phrases and words (like when the new words appear during the video) or just keep watching and try to figure out the general idea without diving into a particular phrases? Because my technique is that I pause the each (or almost each) part of the video which I don't understand and check the meaning in translator. After the whole video I try to watch it second time but this time without pausing, just watching, having in mind the words I checked before. Actually it's time consuming, sometimes I "work with" one 15 min video through about 45min 😂 if you want practice more writing skills you can use one of the popular apps, like Tandem, search some native Portuguese speakers (or any other language) and exchange the language - then you can help others for example with Spanish or English. I use it from time to time and it's helpful. I really like the idea with double subtitles in Netflix, it seems cool! Greetings :)
parabéns! cê fala muito bem, uma coisinha, app em português se diz "aplicativo", não aplicação. e vc falou "relativamente" e "razão" com a erre espanhol ou americano, lembra-se que quando a erre está no começo de um silabo, vc tem que pronunciar como o "h" em inglês.
Adorei suas dicas e seu progresso na aprendizagem do português. Comecei a aprender espanhol na quarentena também. Se quiser alguém para praticar me manda uma mensagem :)
What are some of your favorite nuances of those languages? Has it made you think differently in some way? For example: I love how in Japanese, the subject and object are front-loaded at the beginning of sentence. Like painting the characters first, then finally connecting the verb/action later in the sentence. It's made me re-think the relationships of words in a sentence and impacted how I organize some thoughts
Hey LanguageGirl! Excelente video, super glad you're sharing your experience with others. Te quería preguntar, do you know about the Polyglot community and events like the Polyglot Conference? Aprendí sobre estos grupos y eventos recientemente y pienso que personas como tú encajan perfectamente. Auch, hast du "Hippie" von Paulo Coelho gelesen? Ein super cool Geschicht über einen Weltreise. 😉
I've learned languages by myself since 2018 and i basically do pretty much as you. I use mostly Netflix and TH-cam and I save words in a Spaced Repetition System. I started learning Japanese in this quarentine. It was more challenging than learning German. I hope someday I will speak Japanese just like you speak Portuguese. i think it's gonna take around 2 or 3 years for me to be comfortable in Japanese. Not sure, though. I'm not in a hurry. I practice almost every day. Did I write a lot? LOL
Parabéns! Você fala português muito bem agora não é. Muito obrigado porque eu acho que você tem um melhor canal no TH-cam para línguas. Eu gosto de Paulo Coelho também. Tchau tchau, valho, valho. Fica com Deus desde Inglaterra 🏴
Hey, I learned Portuguese in the quarantine too! Eu acho que o português é um idioma bonito. Se voce quiser, vamos falar e fazer um vídeo conversando. Eu quero falar com outros gringos mesmo kkkkk TMJ, e PARABENS com seu progresso!
@LanguageGirl you formed well built sentences! really! your progress is much more impressive thane mine under the same time frame... but as a foreighner (israeli) who has been to brazil few times, I can tell you that i cannot stress enough the importence of using the nasal sounds. in portugease they are everywhere. and the use or missuse of then can change the meaning of the sentence, or just make you not well understood by others...

Your Portuguese is so good!! Congrats!! Just two quick pronunciation tips to help you:
1) if a word begins with "r" we pronounce as if it was English's "h", so for instance "razão" won't have really the "r" sound but rather an "h" sound (which in Portuguese is phonetically represented by double "r", as in the word "carro" - car).
2) until you get comfortable with the sound of "LH" you can say it as if it was "LI", for instance "coelho" (rabbit) - it's better to pronounce it as if it was "coelio" than if you say "coelo".

Parabens! I also like languages, I’m a native Spanish speaker, I live in Tijuana, México. Never studied English cause My city in a border town so it came naturally. I took italiano during med school but I think that I rusty, although the music I most listen to is Italian. When I was doing my social service I started learning French and German, my teachers corrected me because I used to many Italian or English words. Recently I started studying portugués but had to switch to self study cause they didn’t open the 3rd level which would have taken me to finish A1 level. Right now I’m in my second year of my doctorate, and I noticed that I can expand on the articles I read cause of my language studies. I still think I need more time for my portugués to be better but I don’t get enough free time. The only thing that I still listen to is music, but now is Italian, French, and Portugués, jajaja with a sprinkle of kpop cause of my daughter. Thanks for the great tips.
Seu progresso no português está excelente para apenas 8 meses de estudo, que é quase o mesmo tempo em que venho aprendendo inglês. Parabéns e saudações do Brasil! 🇧🇷
Eu estou aprendendo inglês desde o ano passado. Acho que o português dela esta bem melhor que meu inglês kkkk
Mas como eu ainda tenho mais um tempo para aprender e não estou fazendo nenhum curso pra isso, não to me cobrando demais também. Em 1 ano e 1 mês to entre A2 e B1.
@@PatriciaAlves-rx4hr Também estudo sozinho a pouco mais de um ano. No começo é meio difícil pq a gente fica confuso sem saber direito como estudar, mas os resultados são gratificantes.
Thank you so much for the video I have been getting stumped on what to learn in my target languages next seeing I’m not a beginner and I’m not intermediate either , gracias y buenas suerte con tu año de escuela :)
Yes, ofc. I’m happy that you liked the video
I have been teaching myself Spanish since mid April. I am conversational and at a B1 level at the moment after self immersing as much as possible every day since then. I decided to listen to your Portuguese first with out reading the subtitles. I was able to understand quite a bit because of my Spanish. I knew generally what you were talking about, just not the specifics. I think Portuguese may end up being language #7 for me now :-) Thank you for your great videos and some inspiration. When you get a chance, can you post a link to the Spanish version of those TH-cam stories? I checked out the Portuguese channel.
May I ask what other languages you had learnt?
@@officialbismah German, French, Russian, Japanese and Polish.
Você fala português bem pra caramba! Seus vídeos me motivam a aprender mais línguas e melhorar meus métodos de aprendizagem, amei o vídeo e sucesso com o canal!
I as a Brazilian, I am amazed at your level of Portuguese (Fully understandable and clear). I loved the channel. One more subscriber.
Nicely done! Great honest, inspiring video!
glad you liked it!
For Portuguese pronunciation I recommend the TH-cam channel Speaking Brazilian with virginia. She has a free pronunciation mini-course that helped me.
Awesome! Thank you so much
na verdade o nome do canal e Speaking Brazilian Language School. Concordo contigo, o canal dela e bom para melhorar a pronuncia do portugues, ela explica tudo devagar, praticamente os sons de cada letra
virginia is great! but her classes are for beginners...
I use reverso contexto for Spanish and it helps me SOOOO much! Every time I would want certain phrases translated to Spanish it would translate the phrase to multiple ways to say it instead of just one phrase!
Me encanta muchísimo tu historia , gracias por compartir 👏 Es una grande inspiración para mí ❤️ Soy brasileña y tengo el sueño de volverme políglota también , estoy empezando por el español 🤗🤗
Hi that’s so cool, I’m learning Spanish,Urdu, Arabic and Romanian soon hopefully I can
Im trying badly at learning spanish. Need to spend more time speaking it or as you say shadowing, as a brit learning any other language is wierd as english is built differently. Right now ive got a 1000 words im trying learn.
Speechling is great for shadowing
english isn't that special lol. spanish and english have a similar word order and share a lot of vocabulary. anyway, stuffing 1000 words in your brain probably isn't the most effective way to learn vocabulary. it works for some people, but if you feel you're not getting anywhere, the method probably just doesn't work for you.
Memrise has courses for learning the most common words in a language. 5000,4000,2000 and others.
Mi historia animada, those videos helped me with spanish. It allows someone to directly know the necessary words mostly used by normal natives. I have used them to learn Spanish and still do before I transitioned into reading books. Thanks a lot.
Yes! The stories are so entertaining that I don’t even notice I am studying
Grazie per aver condiviso le tue playlist. Sto già imparando molto in italiano con lei!!
Mi lieto
Thanks, I did the same thing during lockdown for Japanese and it worked! I stopped because of the uni programs but irealise that IT IS A BIG MISTAKE I HAVE MADE, I feel like forgetting little by little what I have learnt. But as of Tomorrow, I'll resume my Japanese study program. Thanks again.
This is very good information. I'm learning Italian and after about three months of hard work I know roughly 500+ words (probably closer to 600-700 since I'm fluent in Spanish and I pick up random words here and there). I'm using a similar strategy as you but I took away a couple of ideas from you. Nice job and congrats!
Fernando Pessoa is a writer perfect for inspiring the hunger to learn Portuguese. For practicing or inspiring Italian, a movie named Il Postino based on the Poet Pablo Neruda's life can be found on TH-cam. For English like actual AMERICAN english, a writer like Jack Kerouac is a great choice, his voice is crisp and very well articulated. Spanish inspiration and good practice is Julio Cortazar, Jorge Luis Borges from Argentina who knew German, French and English apart from Spanish, Francisco Urondo--Spanish. For French, writer Michel Houellebecq.
that's amazing! congratulations on all your hard work and thanks for the tips. I've started learning Spanish in quarantine but I like Ive wasted a lot of time being sad, anxious and unproductive. 2020 :(
😔 I think that languages or just a hobby always help with sadness or boredom 😬, especially if you approach it from an entertainment manner
Great job! :) Eu agradeço sua dedicação ao aprendizado de idiomas. Português é uma língua linda né :)
Belisima 🤩
@@KarenVanessaBuitrago Parabéns, seu português é excelente!
Relembrando: "belíssima " se escreve com "ss ".
Caraca! parabéns pelo progresso^^
Aplicação -> aplicativo :)
I like your way of grasping the language in depth which is not the case of many polyglots in youtube. There are many polyglots in youtube especially who know few phrases and can make few sentences and they include that language in their resume.
However I don't know why many of the people who I knew started learning Portugese and after a while their English speaking somehow started to suck. I found it very frightening and therefore im scared of this language. They worked in Brazil and maybe that had a hand in it. This is totally my observation and i may be totally wrong due to my small sample size. However i would like to suggest you to start learning a language which is outside of Latin root like arabic, farsi or maybe hindi. Arabs and Indians have strong culture which is very different from Europe and can be fascinating for many people. Doing this will also increase your viewers by leaps and bounds as their speakers and listeners are large in number.
When you say their english started to suck are you talking about non-native english speakers?
@@abcxyz4653 both native and non native.
oh hi. I loved learning arabic. it was an amazing experience, but I did not take any courses at college and I slowly forgot about it, but I will definitely pick it up again at some point. You are right, I want to learn a language that is not Latin. I think I am going to learn either Russian or Japanese in the near future 😊
@@KarenVanessaBuitrago Nice to hear that you tried arabic. As a matter of fact Russian is also very beautiful language and so is Japanese.
Wish you good luck and hope you find success in your future aspirations and endeavors.
Please learn Russian next. I am learning Russian and Spanish and I could use your tips for Russian. And I would love to practice with you.
Seu português é perfeito!
Your Portuguese pronunciation is quite good. I'm Brazilian and I've been learning English for 4 years and I'm still not fluent yet, so I know how difficult is to learn a new language, but it's fantastic to know how fast you have learned Portuguese. If you want a native Portuguese speaker to practice your Portuguese with I'd be really happy to help you with that ( but i know that you already have a partner to practice Portuguese language with😭).
Na primeira semana seu sotaque parecia uma mistura de Francês com espanhol, na última parte da para identificar um sotaque mas não exatamente de onde. Você está falando bem fluente. Parabens pelo seu progresso. Well done.
Parabéns, seu portugues é ótimo e seu inglês é perfeito, achei até fosse uma falante nativa de inglês, impressionte 😱😍
KKKk obrigada
@@KarenVanessaBuitrago Imagina
Im brazilian, your portuguese is amazing so far! Thank you for the video.
Thank you. That is so nice of you ❤️
Hey you should use HelloTalk or Tandem to talk to natives. HelloTalk is more like social media so you can make a post when you want help with a paragraph but tandem will let you talk to people in 7 languages without having to pay
I learned new things with Dating in Brazil netflix show with double subtitles. You'll hear some things many times and learn this everyday language
Woww, I'm brazilian and your portuguese is even better than mine haha. Congratulations for your progress and thank you for giving us a really good content.
I did something similar with Romanian between March and September 2020.
very beneficial tips!
안녕하세요 i am learning korean in fact i started just last month so i don’t know much thank you (감사합니다) so much these tips make since i will try them
Está ótimo meeeeesmo! Só uma dica bem pequena: aqui, falamos "aplicativo" ou "app". =)
Obrigada!!
I liked your video!
I just did exactly the same in quarantine, I learnt also Portuguese!
Eu sou brasileiro e estou aprendendo inglês e realmente evolui muito nesta quarentena.
muito bom, perfeito... incrivel aprender o Portugues, que eh dificil, em tao pouco tempo
Jesus christ, you are so unbeliavable beautiful. So unbeliavable smart, so unbeliavable dedicated. You're overall unbeliavable.
Adorei seu canal! Parabéns!
if you are serious about it, everysummer is a language learnt. i learnt most of my english in 2 months. from barely knowing anything to understanding fluently native speakers in many languages. (school didnt hepl me with english :/). after realising people really ahve difficulties with language learning , my friend told me i should be learning more language. so i started japanese in january, swedish 1 and half month later, then chinese 1 and half months ago. i now know basic in those languages. Since i wasnt really serious about it and it was mostly when i was bored i didnt learnt as mush as i could have. Imma try to learn chinese more seriously for 3 month then go to swedish for 2 months (since i've done more swedish learning and it's alot easier for me.
This year at school im taking spanish to see how mush i can learn from it to see how my school will do with learning spanish since i know many youtuber polyglot said they are not that great at learning us spanish , but i still wanna see it myself.
It was a happy surprise to come across your channel! I am so excited to listen to the spotify playlists. I am currently learning Italian and German and continuing my studies in French. I would love to take on Portuguese later on. Can you please share your favorite TH-cam channels for learning the above-mentioned languages? Looking forward to your next video! Thank you!!! :)
Yes, I’ll make a video about that. Thanks for giving me the idea :)
Fantastic video. Loved the channels. I don't suppose you have ever come across something like this with Japanese? There seems to be a lot of anime out there but something with short, personal experience stories would be fantastic!
Jajajaj hasta ahora descubro que eres colombiana. No sé si has visto los videos de Luca Lamparielli, es un gran políglota.Feliz aprendizaje!
I was so enchanted by your looks that I had to scroll down to focus.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I wish my Portuguese would have progressed that much during quarantine. 😂
Hola. Me pareció interesante tu rutina. La verdad a eso le llamo disciplina, dedicación y sobre todo, pasión. Me da gusto que hayas dedicado la cuarentena a estudiar idiomas. Se ve que tu portugués es bueno. O sea, es bueno y es interesante como muestras tu progreso. Eso sirve para demostrarle a la gente que todo se puede. Y bueno, espero que haya más políglotas como tú y en especial políglotas mujeres y latinas. ¡Sigue así! ;) Saludos desde tierras aztecas.
Muchas gracias 😃 me alegra que te haya gustado el video
Thank you for posting this very encouraging video! Thanks for the links you provided. I’ll definitely use the French one. I looked through all the comment but didn’t find any information on the Korean one. I’ll keep looking! Wait, I found your reply about the one for Korean! Thank you so very much!
Awesome, yeah. Itú not as big as the other channels, so I would suggest you use Netflix to find more content in Korean
ur portuguse is amazing congratulationssss
oh wow, ive been struggling memorizing the conjugations for italian, ima definitely use your strategy
I PRACTICE AN HOUR A DAY AND LISTEN (RUSSIAN ) A HALF HOUR. EXPOSURE EVER DAY WORKS FOR ME. GREAT VIDEO.
I’m learning how to speak Dutch 🇳🇱
Hey! You're amazing:) Your progress is tremendous. What's your level of Italian, if it's not a secret?
Great job with this channel :))))))))))))))
Hey :) Nice tips and methods! Do you pause the TH-cam video when you don't get the meaning of some phrases and words (like when the new words appear during the video) or just keep watching and try to figure out the general idea without diving into a particular phrases? Because my technique is that I pause the each (or almost each) part of the video which I don't understand and check the meaning in translator. After the whole video I try to watch it second time but this time without pausing, just watching, having in mind the words I checked before. Actually it's time consuming, sometimes I "work with" one 15 min video through about 45min 😂 if you want practice more writing skills you can use one of the popular apps, like Tandem, search some native Portuguese speakers (or any other language) and exchange the language - then you can help others for example with Spanish or English. I use it from time to time and it's helpful. I really like the idea with double subtitles in Netflix, it seems cool! Greetings :)
J'étudie le français et l'espagnol. Merci pour tous. :)
moi aussi!
je suis une native et bon courage avec ton étude
Seu português é ótimo!!
Obrigada 😄😄
parabéns! cê fala muito bem, uma coisinha, app em português se diz "aplicativo", não aplicação. e vc falou "relativamente" e "razão" com a erre espanhol ou americano, lembra-se que quando a erre está no começo de um silabo, vc tem que pronunciar como o "h" em inglês.
Congrats your Portuguese it's better now primeiro vídeo que eu vi do seu canal mas já vou me inscrever porque gostei
Yeiii welcome to the channel!
Adorei suas dicas e seu progresso na aprendizagem do português. Comecei a aprender espanhol na quarentena também. Se quiser alguém para praticar me manda uma mensagem :)
Uau! Você já tá falando com uma super naturalidade!
Muito obrigada!
Your portuguese is amazing! I'm sure you'll improve even more! Beijos do Brasil 🖐
What are some of your favorite nuances of those languages? Has it made you think differently in some way?
For example:
I love how in Japanese, the subject and object are front-loaded at the beginning of sentence. Like painting the characters first, then finally connecting the verb/action later in the sentence.
It's made me re-think the relationships of words in a sentence and impacted how I organize some thoughts
This video was so helpful *-*
Thank you! Glad you liked the video
This young lady is very beautiful and very very smart!
From my point of view your portuguese is amazing. I from Brazil and I know what I'm saying.
Thanks 😊
Hey LanguageGirl! Excelente video, super glad you're sharing your experience with others. Te quería preguntar, do you know about the Polyglot community and events like the Polyglot Conference? Aprendí sobre estos grupos y eventos recientemente y pienso que personas como tú encajan perfectamente. Auch, hast du "Hippie" von Paulo Coelho gelesen? Ein super cool Geschicht über einen Weltreise. 😉
I've learned languages by myself since 2018 and i basically do pretty much as you. I use mostly Netflix and TH-cam and I save words in a Spaced Repetition System. I started learning Japanese in this quarentine. It was more challenging than learning German. I hope someday I will speak Japanese just like you speak Portuguese. i think it's gonna take around 2 or 3 years for me to be comfortable in Japanese. Not sure, though. I'm not in a hurry. I practice almost every day. Did I write a lot? LOL
Yes! Enjoy the process ☺️
Parabéns! Você fala português muito bem agora não é. Muito obrigado porque eu acho que você tem um melhor canal no TH-cam para línguas. Eu gosto de Paulo Coelho também. Tchau tchau, valho, valho. Fica com Deus desde Inglaterra 🏴
Obrigada por assistir meus vídeos!
Eu acho tão interessante que a gente sempre consegue ver quando uma pessoa aprendeu espanhol antes de aprender português rsrsrs
Sehr inspirierend. Danke!
Glad you think so!
Hey, I learned Portuguese in the quarantine too! Eu acho que o português é um idioma bonito. Se voce quiser, vamos falar e fazer um vídeo conversando. Eu quero falar com outros gringos mesmo kkkkk TMJ, e PARABENS com seu progresso!
also I am not a native spanish speaker so it would be interesting to see what you had trouble with vs what I as an English native had trouble with
@LanguageGirl
you formed well built sentences! really! your progress is much more impressive thane mine under the same time frame... but as a foreighner (israeli) who has been to brazil few times, I can tell you that i cannot stress enough the importence of using the nasal sounds. in portugease they are everywhere. and the use or missuse of then can change the meaning of the sentence, or just make you not well understood by others...
Yes! I’ll definitely will be working on that this semester in my Portuguese class ☺️
@@KarenVanessaBuitrago continue assim! O seu trabalho com as línguas é uma maravilha😊
Te amo❤️
