This video documents my journey learning Portuguese in 7 days by breaking down what is ordinarily and overwhelming task (learning a new language) and focus my time and energy on the most important parts. My goal here is become conversational as quickly as possible and demonstrate that you're capable of more than you think if you're strategic & disciplined about how your approach things.

Love this learning Portuguese videos! Parabéns! Sua pronúncia está muito boa. Já era seu fã, agora então.. abraços from Brazil! ✌🏼🙃
Bem vindo broooo
Es realmente impresionante tu capacidad para aprender lenguas sin ser nativo. Yo hablo 5,pero pq mi familia es multicultural. Los otros idiomas q hablo y aprendi como adulta, me costaron un gran esfuerzo. Tu canal ha sido todo un descubrimiento!
Espero llegues pronto al merecido millon de subscriptores.
Te mando amor y buena vibra desde Australia. 🎈❤️
Have you got a video/tips about how to learn French, please? 🙏🏻☺️
Tu forma de editar los videos es de otros mundo, well done, Good Job
Welcome to the brazillian side of the internet, there’s no turning back...
That's a major truth

For anyone learning a new language and getting frustrated by what you see as a lack of progress: I was in Paris before the pandemic shut everything down. Hung out with a French friend, went to a party where I listened to her have a conversation in French with two other people. I didn’t catch everything they said but I *understood* enough to know they were talking business and she was giving them advice. They kept turning to me to apologize about not including me but I was more than happy listening in and realizing I understood more than I thought I would. Understanding is the first step! Keep going in whatever endeavor you’re taking on.
Thank you for sharing this, it is a great encouragement.
Why does this have to be so motivating?! Now I'm gonna go learn Greek cause why the heck not lol.
good luck :D just watched the video and im hopping on spanish!
Καλή τύχη - Good luck!
How has it gone?
I already know portuguese, german, english, french (only a little) and would like to be able to either speak Spanish since I already understand most of it or learn a new language like swedish since I follow swedish influencers and would like to understand what they're saying.
EDIT: or maybe improve my german since I lost some vocab it's my second language btw, learned with 3 years of age.
Considering Greek is not necessarily the most popular language to learn, I'm excited to see someone else who wants to too. Θέλω να μάθω αλλά είναι δύσκολο και δεν μιλάω καλό!

Que surpresa boa quando vc apareceu no vídeo!!
Acabei de te conhecer - sim, através de um canal estrangeiro, o que é um pouco embaraçoso - e ja te adoro. Obrigado @Nathaniel kkkk
Te acompanho sempre que posso 👏 👏 👏
I'm Brazilian and I've been learning English for 7 months and I can understand perfectly what he speaks and you can learn Portuguese too because it requires dedication and exposure of this language, if you persist you can achieve this
Duvido mt
You are very kind to say this - thank you. As a 63 year old man who has only ever spoken English, I found this video somewhat overwhelming. Congratulations on your being able to understand this video after just 7 months of learning English. I think that is amazing. Blessings upon blessings to you today and always.
@@suchisthismystery2814 thank you very much
@@vicentecalandrini6173 é vrdd. E é por você duvidar que não faz acontecer.
Confia
I've always thought the most important part in learning a language (or anything really) is actually taking the first step. It doesn't have to be boring or technical, once you have a small basis it gets a lot more fun, cause language is always cultural and once you get to that, there is no stopping the learning process. Loved this video!
Nathaniel: I'm gonna learn Portuguese in 7 DAYS
Me: nem fodendo
né?! rs
Mas o título é sensacionalista mesmo, o vídeo dele sobre italiano tem umas críticas no TH-cam justamente por isso.
Não se realmente aprende uma língua em 7 dias, mas dá pra tentar absorver o máximo que der nesse tempo
EU KKKKKKKKKKK

vai levar 7 dias só pra aprender a conjugar os verbos 😂
Is he trying to beat his grandma in the number of languages they speak?
It seems like that. 😄
Never! My grandmother is one of a kind.
I am just in so much awe of your cinematography skills, the beauty & depth in your footage editing, your eloquence & ability to communicate every thought with so much clarity & efficiency, and the fact that you can capture so much wisdom & value within 1 video. I kept rewinding just to soak in all of the stunning footage you've captured of the world (sooo many jaw drop moments over here). Thank you thank you (I'm so honored to have found your channel!).
Fiquei me perguntando o motivo de porque nas 20 palavras que você sabia tinha: "UMA MAÇÃ". ???? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH EU AMEI!
Eu acho que é porque quando você estuda em Duolingo uma das primeiras coisas que você estuda é maçã
diga-me um livro
Did you mean kkkkkkkk?
No duolingo tudo começa com maçã kkkkkkk
talvez pq repliquem a idea dos americanos... Lá , nos EUA, as maçãs são importantes!! Apple company; big Apple = NYC ... e por ai vai...
I literally read the title and said out loud “oh my gosh he’s back at it again”
So relatable 😂
Elise Silvestri hahahah I said ‘oh my gosh he’s done it again’ 😂😂😂
The last time I was this early, Nathaniel Drew only knew English
Wait...this video was posted an hour ago 😅
Good one 😂
Lol!
Hi Nathaniel, I am struggling to learn Portuguese being a native Spanish speaker. As you said, it's a lot of unlearning, you would guess that it would be easier because these languages have similar words but it is not. And I wanted to find inspiration to keep going. So thank you for making this video, it's good to see that others struggle too. And if it was easy everyone would do it
Você consegue😉
I get this, too! I’m grateful for all the Spanish vocabulary I learned in high school but need to disassociate myself from the pronunciations.
I close my eyes and listen several times before I allow myself to “read” the words. It’s helping since as I’m trying to recall the new Portuguese word the Spanish takes a backseat.
Nathaniel offers great advice. I just started learning Portuguese in my spare time as I plan a caminho de Santiago adventure….and now I’m obsessed. Brazilian Portuguese is different, of course, but I’m hoping I can tweak pronunciations while I’m there and the people of Portugal will be forgiving.
Boa sorte!
@@roseofsharon7551 Same 😁😏
Que experiência linda. Parabéns pelo seu aprendizado, eu professora de inglês, e também estou tentando aprender italiano, francês e ter a proficiência em inglês. Seu exemplo compartilhado com todos é uma inspiração. Gratidão!
Learning a new language is like discovering a whole new planet with own culture, traditions, quarks and small nuances.
It consumes you entirely, feeling totally reborn.
That's one hell of a fine encouragement to learn a language, Sir 🙏
Especially with English, it opens your world 10x times
It sounds so inspiring.....(power of words)😅😅
well I mean you only know so little of the planet, soo that makes sense right
Wow I see your comments all the time on Mrs Midwest's channel it's cool to see you here as well
Nathaniel sometime soon: "I decoded alien signals from space in 7 days - Part 1"
Lmao😹
Lol
If he were to make such a claim, it would be just as valid as him saying he’s honestly “learned” any foreign language in a week. Total BS.
😂😂😂👏🏼

Hey Nathaniel. I have just watched part 1 of your endeavour to learn Portuguese and, as an ESL teacher and Brazilian Portuguese native, I have to say that it made my day to hear what you have to say for different reasons. Firstly, I see that your main message here is how to learn a foreign language, and I have to say that the way you do it is quite interesting. For me, it seems like it can be a very efficient way to learn a language, although I also have to say that it seems like you put a lot of effort into it, which is great, but not something that everyone language learner is willing to do. Adults students, in particular, are usually quite busy with their lives, so from experience, I would not expect that many people trying something like that. I was wondering if you could add to your suggestions something like breaking down your study periods into 25 minutes blocks (Pomodoro technique) and have breaks in between. Apart from that, all your ideas seem great!
What I would like to stress, however, is how positive your message is, in my opinion. After working with language acquisition for so many years, it is my impression that our mindset plays a pivotal role in terms of how effectively we can learn a language. Your video provides an interesting view on how to encourage people to define their motivations to learn a language, and at the same time offer a realistic, data-based method for learning a language that seems to really work.
Thank you so much for making this video. I hope you do not mind sharing them with my students :)

Love your channel!

Uma das minhas motivações é pensar como as crianças aprendem a falar e como esse processo leva tempo até se tornar algo que fazemos de forma espontânea
Aí já é coisa pra minha noiva, doutora em linguística e a única do mundo q sabe a língua da tribo pkyjabe gavião (devo ter escrito errado) explica. Ela diz q até uma certa idade a criança consegue aprender a fala. Se não aprender e envelhecer antes tá fudida. Por isso ela me zoava qdo tava brava por eu encher a cara de cachaça e whisky. Me chamava de Mogli. Lembra o Mogli da Disney? O cara existiu de verdade. Mas a história real é mto triste. Ela tava brava com eu enchendo a cara ( na época eu até fazia whisky caseiro) e me chamava de moglinho na raiva dela. O Mogli, q realmente foi criado por lobos, ele não aprendeu a falar e até andar era difícil p ele. Morreu cedo, aliás. História triste. Pelo menos, apesar de ser o moglinho e um semi-alfabeto pra quem é uma doutora da USP, ainda ganho mto mais kkkkk. Ela diz q não entende como uma doutora com 2 empregos ganha menos . Tô ganhando agora 12 mil por mês. Mas... Falei p ela q vou fazer mestrado e doutorado rs. Então vai ser doutor Mogli kkkk

Nathaniel in 4 years: *I Learned Chinese in 7 Days - Part 1
I am learning chinese at the moment , I find quite easy but the most difficult is the pronunciation
I'm learning Chinese right now, the sentence structure is really easy to pick up it's just the pronunciation and grammar like measure words are extremely difficult

What's your nationality?

I'm brazilian and for me, the hardest part of learning a new language is becoming free of the fear of committing mistakes. I know how to speak, but fear is something big inside of me. Speaking and writing are hard bc I don't wanna people making fun of me. I loved your video and your approach to language.
this is so misleading… the guy speaks spanish which is 80-90% similar in vocabulary and you guys thinks he actually learnt from scratch
"Aprendi português em 7 dias"

Has anyone else been twiddling their thumbs waiting for another video from Nathaniel the past few weeks?
YES
A. The man is such an inspiration to aspiring content creators! He was busy learning a language so I’ll cut him some slack on taking a while to upload
Thank you so much for this!!! It is exactly what I need to hear and much more! I have been living in portugal for an embarrassingly long time and my Portuguese is terrible. You have just given me the inspiration I need to get the hell on with learning the language properly.
I am brazilian and I speak for all of us.. i think we are like chinese when we see someone willing to learn our language and speaking it or trying to speak it.. we get amazed and we need to check it out.

eu to estudAndo frances e peguei uma lista de vocabulario que nem os próprios franceses usam no dia a dia
ou seja...
tudo que sabemos e utilizar meras repeticoes de palavras
eu li num livro que 80% de um pensamento e constituido por palavras
entao quanto mais palavras maior sera a capacidade de pensamento
@@paoladi0405 great !!! I hope you get fluent in french soon ;)
I can't prove it, it's just a theory I have, and perhaps it's a function of being part of a generation that was in high school just before the internet arrived, but . . . I think the fact that you start out writing lists *by hand* is really important. There is something about the physical activity of writing out words that I have found to be a profound aid to memory. I think there's a neural connection being made there that makes retention and retrieval easier later on.
My experience-I started to learn my first foreign language in high school (Spanish). Everything written out by hand. Didn't have laptops or use computers except to type papers sometimes. Though I didn't use the language for decades, I still retain a lot of what I learned and a great deal of vocab-which is sometimes comically frustrating when speaking Italian and a Spanish word pops out instead.
Fast forward to the last ten years or so (the decade of my 40s) in which I studied numerous languages, especially Italian. I'm essentially fluent now in italian, but I still find myself looking up the same words over and over, and my grammar isn't as developed as it could be. And no, it's not because I'm older now. I'm of sound mind. I think the main difference is that I used software and apps to study Italian/French/Dutch/Croatian, etc. Just tapping a screen or a keyboard isn't creating those neural connections the way writing did. I've gone back to that method. Time will tell if I start to retain things better.
There are articles on that matter, I'm sorry but I don't remember the source, but a while ago I read some papers about the influence of handwriting on learning. But basically, you are creating a motor patter that connects to the letters and the words. When you just type your brain only 'reads' the key and hit it. But when you write, your brain has to recall and actively output the letters, which is a deeper process. So your experience and observation are accurate! Hope you can find the articles and use this knowledge to practice the new languages you've learned.
Absolutely!! When I started, I wrote numbers (digits) in pen and the written out form in pencil so I can erase and keep rewriting it. Helped me immensely
"maybe it's because you find brazillian people attractive, spoiler, they are"
oooh you stop it, i'm gonna blush >.
This material has 15 minutes, but watching it you feel that it only takes 5 minutes. IT'S SO WELL MADE!
Thank you for making this material. Thanks to this I feel much more confident to start learning Korean :)
Not really but well to each their own
Omg I didn't even notice it was that long!
As a Brazillian i can affirm that "Caralho" it´s the word u will be using the most here
Very true in my experience. My first day in Rio consisted of learning the words feijoada, caralho and foda se.
@@teodora9280 Hahaha, feijoada in your first day?! That's good!
verdade, quando vi essa palavra na lista dele, pensei uau ele já ta aprendendo isso kkkk
@@raposo2712 yeah, a friend of mine cooked feijoada a and we had caipirinhas too! It was great having a local guide
imagina como deve ser dificil explicar os xinganentos sendo que basicamente em ingles é tudo "fuck" kkkkkkkk
Your editing is amazing brother
I LOVE your approach. It basically translates to learning about something 'bottom-up' rather than 'top-down' and, 'just-in-time-learning' when it comes to grammar and things like that. That is totally how I think we should approach learning anything!

Before I moved to Portugal, I used to talk a lot with a Brazilian girl - so that I could start practicing the language. Then when I finally moved, Portuguese people were like: "Why do you speak Brazilian"? 😂
Cara, eu poderia escrever em inglês mas vou te ajudar a treinar o português. Vc tá de parabéns pela iniciativa. Eu também amo estudar línguas, sei falar inglês fluente e estou aprendendo italiano. É incrível o quanto uma nova língua pode mudar nossa forma de ver o mundo.

I'm Brazilian and I'm going to say just one thing: if you have the motivation to continue on your trek to fluency in Portuguese, do it. You're going to need a lot of dedication to start understanding conversations, because we speak so fast. I wish you luck on your journey.
I truly wish that someday soon, I will have an audience as mature and warm as you do now Nathaniel. It's awesome to see so many mindful people at one virtual place.

Love seeing your process
Amazing video, thanks for sharing these gold nuggets!
The podcast you mentioned (Mamilos) is very popular here in Brasil. The name references an old local meme where a kid said "nipples are polemic!", due to women nipples being censored on social media.
Soooo, the podcast covers very controversial topics in Brazilian society :D
Big fan from Brasil!
Oh that's good to know, thanks for sharing!!
engraçado explicar expressões específicas aqui pra um gringo haha
Que interação maravilhosa, hahahaha.
@Guilherme Boseja Yeah, Xadrez Verbal is one of the best we've got. I, too, highly recommend it :)
Other podcast you would like is Nerdcast, it covers a whole bunch of topics, from history to pop culture, and it is the most listened in Brazil, btw thanks for the content. ✌
Some people would not be able to learn your way because of the affective filter. They cannot even imagine being face to face with a native not knowing much of the language.
I did some research on the affective filter and it’s so interesting!! Here’s to hoping I can learn enough about it so that I fight it.
Thanks for introducing it :)
@Ace Ar Jr lol fr
Japanese is easier than Portugese omg
Of course you're wrong
@Ace Ar Jr you're justo one among many other people on the internet.
Thank-you for this! I've been off and on with learning Spanish for a long while now and this has inspired me again!
You are very beautiful 😊😉👍
Love your videos Nathaniel! You are obviously very well educated and I love that you include your sources as well! I am fluent in Portuguese but strangely enough, have been having trouble in French recently. Thank you for sharing your tips and knowledge!

Love it! Thanks dude. I’m in Fortaleza now, completely lost! My wife is Brazilian and here I am. I may be living here full time in the near future. Gotta learn quick! Your struggle with the pronunciation was comforting to me lol it’s been difficult for me too. Thanks again!
My city! I hope you have a great time there.
How is your Portuguese?
I hope you learn and have a good time,
Brasil is lo máximo.,
Well, I gotta say it, THANK YOU very much for all the amazing free material you send in your "newsletter", to me was like finding gold, the Goonies pirate treasure. You are literally making a difference, from the bottom of my heart THANKS!.
I have a feeling that this video may go viral here in Brazil, it's a part of our culture to behave positively when we talk/see foreigners trying to speak Portuguese (sometimes it's a little overwhelming 🤣). Wish you good luck in your journey dude. I'm learning Spanish right now and what I realized is that we, as Portuguese speakers, can understand what Spanish speakers say, but they can't understand us most of the time, so I suppose that we mess the pronunciation up 100% haha. I'm really excited to check out the next videos, pls keep up the good work.
"Why" is actually written "por que", separated, and "because" is written "porque", together. There are actually four written variations of that word that mean different things. It's not that important, most people don't care and will understand you no matter what, but I wanted you to know.
Porque - Because (why)
Por qué - interrogative(why) and exclamation (what)
Porqué - (what) cause or reason
Por que - concerning (which or by the)
If you need help this is my Instagram jing.csar 🙋
*Porque* : because
*Por que* : used on direct interrogative frases - _Por que_ você fez isso? ( _Why_ did you do this?) - and in indirect interrogative frases - Eu quero saber _por que_ você fez isso. (I wanna know _why_ you did this.)
*Por quê* : used on the end of frases - Eu ouvi falar que você saiu da escola. _Por quê?_ (I heard you quit school. _Why?_)
*Porquê* : when used as a noun - Esse é o _porquê_ de eu ter saído da escola. (That's the _reason_ I left school.)
Não é bem assim em Português de Portugal.Se eu digo "Porque é que usaste o vestido verde?" a palavra "Porque" tem função de "WHY" (Why did you wear the green dress?)
Por que (por- preposiçao // que -pronome relativo)
"Por QUE razão me ligaste?" aqui o "QUE" refere-se à razão, é "what" (For WHAT reason did you call me?)

Could you pls explain more about it
Que canal meu Deus!! 👏👏A inspiração que eu precisava para parar de enrolar e começar a aprender outras línguas 😊🙌
So awesome! I've been learning langiuages like this for years, everytime I travel to a country I learn what I call "the basics" which is, more or less, same as you explain here. And I always make spreadsheets and watch tv shows or films in the language, even if I don't understand, just to get the pronunciaton and entonation of it. It is so cool that you made a video on it. Congrats!
A quick recap
Step 0: *Finding Your Mission*
- list down your reasons for learning a language
Step 1: *Gathering the Building Blocks*
- get to the core of the most common conversational vocabulary
Step 2: *The Glue*
- time to make sentences and entire ideas! (i.e. conjugations, verbs, and tenses)
Step 3: *Enter the Bubble*
- enter the [language youre learning]-speaking world and their culture to learn how they speak the language
Wishing all of the people here that's currently trying to learn a language well! Personally trying to learn Spanish right now ❤
For step 1; when gathering the lists (Like Nathaniel, I too am creating the lists on a spreadsheet on my laptop) should I copy and paste the words in, or actually write them into the table? Wondering if it's a good chance to learn the words, or just a waste of time? Thanks!
@@DSF141 I'm not an expert at language learning lol but i prefer writing each word down because i get a chance to "get to know" each word. Honestly it can get time consuming but do whatever works for you.
Same . How is it going?
I just finished reading a book called "Don't Sleep, There Are Snakes" by Daniel Everett. He is a linguistic anthropologist who has done much of his work in the amazon with the Pirahá tribe. He learned how to speak Pirahá and Portuguese while expressing the importance of respecting and learning different languages.
7:14 "porque" is actually _because_ - _why_ would be "por que," "por quê" or even "porquê" - but I won't spoil your fun of learning when to use which form =P interesting video, thanks.
Thanks for this mind opening video! I love languages and talking with people in their native tongue, even if it just a sentence or two. I've studied 15 languages (more or less) and always found the learning part to be so boring and tedious. And that might be the reason I can speak only 4 out of those 15 well enough, plus my mother tongue. I'm intrigued by your way of learning a new language and am definitely going to give it go!
As a Brazilian, I feel so humbled that you took the time to learn our language.
As a language learner myself, I always keep thinking about how foreigners would learn Portuguese, and the amount of ambiguities that our language has. For instance, some years ago, the "trema" (umlaut) was abolished, and so it became frustratingly hard to know when "gue/que" is pronounced as in "guerra (guerra)" or as in "pinguim (pingüim)"... so yeah, sorry about that; I myself only learned to appreciate it when I learned Spanish and saw why it even existed in the first place.
Also, I really feel like Portuguese is one of the hardest languages to really appear as a native while speaking it. Maybe it's because people usually just try to be cool and use a lot of slangs (if unsure, use them sparingly!); I don't know. Maybe I'm just guilty of it being my mother-language!
Anyway, there is a lot of great things in Portuguese: there are many video-essay channels popping up these days (Mimimidias, Quebrando a Caixa, Ludoviajante, just to name a few), many great bands (classics like Legião Urbana, Titãs, etc etc the list goes on), novelas (not really a fan, but Avenida Brasil is the greatest novela, fkn fight me), and so on and so forth. We usually don't give it all much value, but I personally put much of it in perspective after beginning to learn other languages (God, I just want some good German/Italian video-essay channels to follow!). But I digress :D
I totally agree with you,finally someone noticed that Portuguese is a pretty language.Anyway,I'm learning English by myself too
Should I recommend you some great German video essay channels?
@cacerpop I'm probably jumping abruptly in the conversation hahaha But I'd be thankful if you could suggest some 😊
@@laratahm8124 oh please do!
@@laratahm8124 Bitte!
unrelated but was anyone else watching this guys video and going: “omg the EDITING IS AMAZINGGG” and was completely baffled by his skills?- no? just me? okay..
wish I knew how to do that
Wasn't "baffled", but did notice he has excellent editing skills, for sure. I get the impression he's a very motivated individual who applies himself 100% to whatever interests him. Kind of person I'd like to have a long chat with over coffee. Preferably in a sunny piazza.
I can’t thank you enough for sharing all your work with so many of us who want to learn a new language ♥️ Thank you so so much, Nathaniel. Just subbed and signed up for the newsletter :)
So inspiring! I'm learning Portuguese right now and this gave me so many new ideas!
I’m portuguese (from Portugal 🇵🇹) so you can imagine how I felt when saw the title! Portuguese is a beautiful language, we have a unique word that can’t be describe in any language - “saudade”. I really hope that you come to Portugal, we have a lot of beautiful places! Don’t forget to visit the bookshops ❤️
Amo os seus vídeos!
(Translation: I love your videos!) 😂
He would totally blow his mind reading Saramago, even I did and I'm a native speaker hahah
Moisés Oh for sure! Most of the portuguese people don’t see the beautiful things that we have: music, literature, beautiful places and good food! Portugal is a good country ❤️
“Seus” vídeos ? Usando o pronome você ?
I'm carioca (a person who was born in Rio de Janeiro) and THIS VIDEO IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
For cultural reference, I recommend listening to Bossa Nova, MPB and Tim Maia.
Tá ai um comentário que eu poderia ter escrito!
TIM MAIAAAAAAAAAAAA
Let's not forget about the one and only Elis Regina ❤️
@@analuizacosta357 yesss and I will also include Renato Russo
djavannnn
"Meu Deux", "parabénx" o sotaque carioca vem de fábrica haha
Sotaque português?
O sotaque do Rio de Janeiro e Recife é muito parecido, mas esse chiado veio de Portugal.
Great resources and ideas!! I will DEFINITELY incorporate these ideas and resources into my current approach (first Pimsleur, to get used to the sound of the language, and Duolinguo to help learn some vocabulary and grammar in a fun way). I am currently learning Russian and Ukrainian...similar in some ways, but quite different!!
His editing evolves at an alarming rate. O.o
Does he pay someone to edit his videos?
Thought I was the only one to notice
Hi, I’m a Brazilian and also a Portuguese and English teacher. I can speak English, Portuguese, Spanish, a little bit of Japanese and I’m learning Korean. I understand the point of your video, but I dot not like at all the title and the message that you can learn a language from the 0 in 7 days. If you do like that you are only reproducing the sentences not actually understanding it. And since you have other experiences speaking other Roman languages it becomes easier to learn Portuguese, something that someone that do not have your background cannot achieve. As a language teacher I did not like the message in you title, but I liked the message that anyone can learn a new language if they put their mind into it. I just hope that you did not put such a tittle that makes people believe and get their hopes up that they can learn a language in seven days and if they can not do it they would be frustrated and maybe never want to learn another language again.
Moça acho que todo mundo sabe que não é possível aprender a língua inteira em 7 dias, eu entendi o seu ponto de vista em frustar as pessoas e tals, mas o que ele pode estar querendo passar é um desafio, com esse desafio a pessoa pode se interessar pela língua e começar a estudar por anos e se tornar fluente, mas se tornar fluente em um país ao qual a língua materna não é a mesma que você está estudando sempre é complicado. A pessoa tem que fazer uma total imersão, e foi assim que você aprendeu as línguas que fala hoje em dia.
Eu próprio aprendi inglês em um total de 6 meses atrás, creio que sou avançado já mas mesmo assim tenho dificuldades, é como se eu fosse um analfabeto funcional no ingles. Tá que eu fiz 4 anos de inglês em escolas, mas eu não queria aprender, hoje em dia eu busquei porque quero estudar fora e necessito aprender a língua. Qualquer idioma é possível aprender em um curto tempo, se eu fui de elementar para avançado em 6 meses qlqr um pode tbm ou até menos tempo
Luis Malaquias sim, concordo. Mas o título dele induz ao que eu disse. E infelizmente, mesmo que o intuito dele seja apenas de fazer com que as pessoas se interessem pela língua, pode fazer o contrário. Justamente pq o título fala que ele aprendeu em 7 dias. É um título enganoso sim. E eu como professora de línguas, não vou passar pano pra isso.
Luis Malaquias E para complementar eu aprendi todas as línguas em um país no meu próprio país, então eu não passei pelo processo de imersão. Eu aprendi as línguas como língua estrangeira (quando você aprende em um país não nativo da língua desejada) e não como segunda língua (quando você aprende no país nativo da língua).
Concordo plenamente.
The way this video was edited literally gave me chills, congrats man.
WORTHY video........keep it up man ! 👍👍👍
Get all of the resources for learning Portuguese that I compiled throughout this challenge. You can easily adapt much of it whatever language you're learning → www.nathanieldrew.com/language-learning-resources
Grande video!Abraço de Portugal
Hi. I see your video’s to get inspired in life. E acho fantástico que estejas a aprender a falar Português. Keep in touch se quiseres fazer um “test” para veres como está a correr a aprendizagem :)
how about the french or italian one?
This is amazing, thank you so much!!
That was so nice of you to include all of your work!! And such an excellent reward for subscribing- I’ve never seen a youtuber do that before. Kudos for always being original. Have you heard of Netflix for Language Learners? It’s an extension that allows you to have both your native language and the language you are learning’s subtitles up, and allows you to click on the (foreign language’s) words for a definition! I’ve found it extremely helpful, though admittedly it is not good at slang. (It’s also free so follows your rules.) ~warm wishes from another gen z-er trying to learn languages for fun and to fill time and avoid a quarter life crisis!
Aquele momento que você descobre pelos comentários que tem muitos brasileiros que acompanham o Nathaniel Drew. Fico feliz por isso
Guilherme Claudino canal dele é muito bom

I was impress to see that "ser" and "estar" were on top of your list! Amazing work. However you might notice you wrote "to be" in both of what they mean and they are not the same at all.
"Ser" is a permanent condition, fix, immutable.
"Estar" is a condition that is temporary and can be changed.
For example, you are beautiful. "Tu és bonito". "Tu estás bonito" which basically translation into the difference of being naturally beautiful and the effort to be beautiful. I know that English and french don't have that difference.
Good job spotting those two verbs!
the guy speaks spanish i think he knows
