Since I'm interested in becoming a multilingual tour guide in my city, I look at the statistics for tourists that visit here and what their national languages are. Brazilians are #9 in the list, so I'm considering learning Portuguese someday. And Brazilian Portuguese sounds fun. Furthermore, having learned some Spanish, I think I can learn Portuguese really easily--maybe just from podcasts (BrazilianPodClass).
Thanks man . I will give it a try for sure as soon as i master spanish that i already started.since i received many Brazilians at our city to discover our Moroccan culture in exchange of them teaching kids at our NGO.some of them stays for more than three months.
Another reason for me is because it's a big language on the internet, or at least on TH-cam. Just go to any music video and you'll see a dozen "algum brazileiros vendo em 2018??"
If you want to walk outside the tourist areas, you'll find more hard to find someone who understands english. Good thing is, even if you don't speak the language we won't feel outraged... we'll just try our best to communicate. And thanks for nice things you said about us =)
1. over 200 speakers 2. brazil great place to travel 3. it´s better to talk with natives in his native language 4. it´s not a hard language. 5. The people 6. It´s gorgeous language.
I am planning to move to Brazil for a few months to study portuguese intensely. I already speak the basics but I want to improve my portuguese. Do you have any city recommendations to live? I'm really drawn to Rio, Sao Paulo, & Florianapolis. Do you have any recommendations?
Yes i do, CURITIBA is the best city, is the capital of Paraná. Rio there is a lot of violence and Sao Paulo is so BIG, then Curitiba is also big but here you will find a good structure and a wonderful place, a lot of foreigns live here.
Hi, I'm Brazilian and I've been following your channel for some time. I didn't know that you spoke Portuguese, I always got a feeling that I knew you, now that I know that you have already been to Brazil, I have to ask, have you ever passed the carnival in Ouro Preto? I get the impression that I talked to you at a party in my Fraternity. Anyway, thank for your contents.
Oscar Não é bem assim. Eu quando ouço português de Portugal não vejo tanta diferença a ponto de não entender. É só um sotaque, mas entendo perfeitamente.
How "close" is Portuguese to Spanish. (I have commenced to "dabble" in Spanish, and I will be putting more effort into learning Spanish in the near future.)
Much words are similar but not identical. As a brazilian i can understand most of what spanish speakers say if they speak slowly and I think it goes for most of us.
Quite similar, but different in terms of being difficult to understand at times. In general, it is easier for Brazilians to understand Spanish than for those who speak Spanish understand Portuguese. And of course there are some dangerous words that mean different things in each language.
@Δt0mix Yeah, I also think that both are really similar. Although a lot of native speakers of Spanish often say that it's hard to understand Portuguese. Once a Peruvian friend talk me that we have the habit to abbreviate words, some times for one syllable (e.g. você -> ce/se). Another factor people frequently say is that we tend to change the sounds of some letters or cut them during the natural speech (Leite - > leiti; eu vou > eu vo, but it depends on the accents of each region.
I've heard that before about Spanish. To me, it has a beautiful syncopation, not unlike Japanese. Of all the major languages, seems to me Brazilian Portuguese is the strangest sounding. We seldom hear it in the US. It's a beautiful language though, like a combination of French and Spanish.
What do you make of classical languages such as latin, greek and hebrew ? I already know that you hate esperanto ^^ Latin can help for all romance languages, and be a propeuditical approach to strongly grammatical indoeuropean modern languages (russian, german), it give an access to a huge culture (including medieval philosophy), and to a way of thinking totally different.
The population of Brazil is 206 million so I'm very confused by your statistic (not criticising, I've found the same number of native speakers when I've googled it)
@@ViBoMe I have listened that Portuguese is bit difficult than Spanish and afterall I don't have Portuguese friends to communicate with, I m learning on Duolingo
@@surajverma2763 in terms of difficulty they should be both equally difficult. They are similar but different. Learning one will certainly help learning or understanding the other because of this similarity. However, Spanish speakers are more spread around the world than portuguese ones. They have more countries who speak it and also more used in business than portuguese. Pragmatically it makes more sense to learn spanish, just because it is more known and used. But portuguese also opens your possibilities to other things. And ultimately you should learn the language that enchants you more. I find spanish very plain whereas portuguese, specially the brazilian, is more musical.
Isso ai galera, vamo aprender "BRASILEIRO" kkkkkkk Lets learn portuguese guys, its really cool when u learn our funny culture. We're really "jokers", u guys might like it =)
Well the language has evolved from Portugal like how Spanish evolved from Spain or United States from England so obviously there will be differences. So I wouldn't say the way they speak is incorrect.
You're extremely unaweary about languages,cause each and every country speaks the correct language.brazil really speaks Brazilian portuguese,though, we don't have to speak the formal language at all the time .fyi ,no country in the world uses its true language in a daily bases,unless it's used in a formal invironment. We don't speak the Portugal language !!We do speak our portuguese,which is different from that one in Portugal.
Fico feliz em saber que existem pessoas que querem aprender nosso idioma... 💕😉
@@gabrielzaila1318 "I am glad that there are people wanting to learn our language"
E junto com o italiano a minha lingua predileta
Porque oque isso muda pra você ?
Brazilian Portuguese is the best!
Oiiiiiie
Hiiiii
Pode crer....é nois
The reason number 5 is the reason why Brazilian Portuguese is on my list languages to learn in near future :)
So, have you learned Portuguese until today? haha ha

Yes you can. Its not so difficult.

Alex Paulo Tadeu Vieira Hey there, I've been to Ouro Preto but not during carnival :)
I got you, I must have mistaken you for another "gringo" from Holland then, haha.
Hey I am also learning Portuguese, but m bit confused what should I learne Portuguese and Spanish (BTW I m Indian)
Many Brazilians do not understand the Portuguese accent, there is a big difference of accent between Brazil and Portugal.
Oscar não generalize,há muitos brasileiros que entendem o português falado em Portugal.
Oscar Não é bem assim. Eu quando ouço português de Portugal não vejo tanta diferença a ponto de não entender. É só um sotaque, mas entendo perfeitamente.
@bolo de limão Não é possível, como não?
Thank you!
Please, make a video and tell us what is the hardest language you have learned ma what was the funiest. By the way it was a great video.
There are more than 207 million Brazilians, according to IBGE.
Sem falar da immensa gringalhada Como eu
Fā da cultura brasileira
There's this page languagetools.io where you can read texts with Brazilian Portuguese audio.
1. Is the most spoken language in Southern Hemiphere
2.Spanish will turn very easy then (or Portuñol)

Jack Taylor yes, this is the real population of Brazil, 206 million peoples, you're right.
Jack Taylor interesting. How many nonnative Portuguese speakers live in Brazil?
In real, above 10% of the brazilian population are nonnative speakers of portuguese, I have many spanish speakers friends and even some italian ones
Live for All
Brazil's population is about 210 Million people,which accounts for over 85% of all portuguese speakers around the world
If I had to choose the most beautiful language, for me, it would be a toss up between French and Portuguese.
I would be between Brazilian Portuguese and Italian.
I would be between portuguese and german
@@pedrocarne73 It depends on what you want to do which each language. German is very very different from Brasileiro!
Maioria br aqui kkk
i only learnt it for all the gatinhas
Another reason: Women
that sounds pure reason
You won't get a Brazilian girl just because you know how to speak Portuguese.
Sorry to broke your dreams, but brazilians girls are hards
Com o sem moderaçāo?
I m an Indian n wanna learn different languages in this lockdown, bit confused between Spanish and Portuguese whatshould l learn
I'm native to the Portuguese language, can I help you?
@@iuny8844 yeah ok
In my totally non-biased opinion of a native portuguese speaker, I think you should learn portuguese

Go for it
