My mother is Mexican and my father is Portuguese, but I grew up speaking Spanish. So now that I’m learning Portuguese, the most difficult thing for me is not confusing the words and the accent. Your videos have helped me improve a lot and hopefully I will have the confidence to speak Portuguese this summer when I visit the Azores. Thank you so much Liz ❤
@@TalktheStreets Olá, Liz! Gosto muito dos teus vídeos! Permite-me uma pequena correção: na palavra "diferente" aqui em Portugal na síliaba "fe" o "e" é pronunciado da mesma maneira que em "te"; não como na sílaba "ren". A tua pronúncia é ótima! 😊
Hey Liz!! I speak fluent Spanish. I've been learning European Portuguese,(using your channel as one of my resources) and its completely different. It's not as easy I thought but I love it!🥰
Thank you so much for your videos! My dad moved the the United States from Madeira at a young age and ended up losing his Portuguese. We've been watching your videos together to try and reconnect with the language!
¡Me encantan tus vídeos! As a Spanish speaker I know that I have to work on the vowels and those "s" sounds and of course the "lh" that you mentioned in another video. The fact that Spanish is my first language helps somehow in understanding that words that might look alike have totally different meanings i.e. exquisito vs esquisito. A long story to tell that I fell in love with Portuguese many years ago, and that your videos help me refresh all that I learned. Thanks again for all your insights!
Totally agree with you. When I started learning European Portuguese, I took it for granted that its pronunciation is in some way the same as Spanish. Then, I realized I was totally wrong in my assumption. Thank you for shedding more light on the phonological difference between Spanish and Portuguese. Is there a guide on stress rules in portuguese? Appreciate if you could provide the link here. That would help a lot. Your videos are of top quality. Once again, thank you very much, indeed.
Sim! Sim! Sim! As an American who learned Spanish, this video really helps me transition to Portuguese! I am planning a future trip to Porto, and need to be ready to to understand and speak a little, but fearful I will just fall into speaking Spanish.
Here in Mexico, English is the language that we put more effort into learning. Whenever we visit Brazil, we just talk to Brazilians in English and a lot of times, they ask us to speak Spanish because they can undestand Spanish better than English
Hi Liz! I love all the ressources you give us! I am actively looking for podcast (in europeen portuguese) on spotify i? Do you have any suggestions? I have a hard time to find some! It could be on different subject i dont mind! Thxxx
In Colombia, South America we say "carro" in Spanish for "car", although of course we would understand "vehículo". Curiously, an older way of pronouncing the letter "r" in Bogotá that people ofvmy grandfather's generation used sounded very similar to the "r" in some Portuguese accents that I've listened to. The "r" sounded almost like a French "r" with a bit of an "h" at the end. The word "carro" sounded something like "carrho". My main problem besides pronunciation seems to be with false cognates where the meanings of words that appear to have the same roots have diverged. Would it be possible to do a You Tube video on those?
I’ve been studying European Portuguese for a little over a year. I am Mexican so my Spanish works against me 100% of the time. I have a good teacher. Its not him, its me. My mind has not accept Portuguese since day one. I keep fighting myself to learn, learn, learn. It’s extremely frustrating to me that after one year of study, I’m still at the same level as I was a year ago.
Thanks for sharing! It might be helpful using a variety of resources or doing something you love in Portuguese (eg. if you love cooking, try listening to a cookery show!)
I don't have a problem pronouncing the vowels and consonants, but confusing the vocabulary and saying a word that is said in Spanish but not in Portuguese is the portuñol thorn in my side LOL practice practice practice ...

Good luck understanding anything in Azores 😄

My fathers side is from the Azores.. so what you’re saying, learn it from the mainland? Haha

So true! But you've got this 😊
You have a deep knowledge of Spanish and portuguese. I'm learning the practical differences with your technique.
Thank you so much for your videos! My dad moved the the United States from Madeira at a young age and ended up losing his Portuguese. We've been watching your videos together to try and reconnect with the language!
Thanks for sharing! So glad you enjoy the videos 😊
A Portuguese friend told me once that in Spain they must drink Cueca-cuela.
Desde Argentina aprendiendo inglés y portugués 💖 thank you for your videos!!
so glad you enjoy!
Thanks for your work! In two months I'm going to Portugal and you're helping me in refreshing my portuguese :) Greetings from Poland!
Great lesson! I was born for grammar and phonetics, so I can appreciate good teaching.

Thank you so much! I don't have a specific guide for that but my free pronunciation guide should help you out - the link is in the description 😊
Bom vídeo! Vou partilhar este vídeo com um amigo Colombiano que está a aprender o Português Europeu.
Thank you!!

@@Maria-js9ou Muito obrigado, já editei o meu comentário.
Thank you, great lesson :)
thank you LIZ

So glad it was helpful!
It’s worth noting that English is stress times too-Because of this I’ve always found the speech rhythm of Portuguese to be familiar to me.
In Timor and I believe in some african countries every vowel is pronounced.
In Timor we pronounce rr and initial r like Spanish people do.
Very useful explanation.
Glad it was helpful!
Great Video! Yes😊
Hi Liz,
Thanks for your dedication to teaching Portuguese.
Can you recommend any cartoons in European Portuguese to assist with learning?
Thanks 😊
I'm not Liz, but Regular Show in European Portuguese can help a lot with Portuguese slang.

Yes
Cada vez que hablas en español o pronuncias a la española se me erizan los pelos en plan asmr 😍
Y en tuga también, claro 😉
Hahahahaahaa
Yes!

"Learning Portuguese is Fun" is a good one for beginners!
YES!
The accent is the most difficult of all for sure!!

Yes! Do I lapse far too easily into Portuñol? 'Culpable' as charged... whoops, I mean 'culpado' of course ;)
eheh you've got this!
Sí y/e sim!
Where was this channel when I was preparing for a trip to Portugal? All I could find was Brazilian stuff.
In Spanish with have accent so we have to make emphasis on the syllable with the accent
Learning to read it is easy; learning to speak it is harder (even with Brazilian Portuguese).
I don't have a problem pronouncing the vowels and consonants, but confusing the vocabulary and saying a word that is said in Spanish but not in Portuguese is the portuñol thorn in my side LOL practice practice practice ...
"¿Dónde estás?” is ordinarily three syllables, not four. It’s pronounced “dondestás.”
Eu adoro portañol 😒eu tambem amo essa aula
I know so very little Spanish, yet just enough to screw up my Portuguese. 😒
You've got this!!
Yes
Yes!
