Where will you be visiting in Portugal??
lisbon.. living actually.. but coming from mozambique so portuguese won't be an issue since it's my native language hehe
Hi your Porto city is lovely
Moving to Graça, overlooking Jardim da Cerca.
July and October. I have great friends living in Lisbon and Tomar.
Wife and I are visiting in July. We land in Porto, stay for 4 day then off to Lisbon for 4 days then to Albufeira for 4 more days then back to Lisbon for one night and home to Washington DC. It really is a vacation but since we're going to be retiring in about 3 years we're also looking at it to see if we could live in Portugal. If we decide yes, then there are going to be many more trip for longer stays in different areas to get a feel for the area. Madeira comes to mind also. Thanks for your videos. They're very helpful.
I love how asking for a coffee is considered survival. In my world, it certainly is 😀
It's funny how this applies to so many different nationalities aswell, whether it be German or Spanish, French or Portuguese, how to ask the time, how to find a train station and how to order at a café 😂
As a server in an English tearooms I love videos like this, trying out my German or Portuguese on foreign customers, it always gets a warm reaction ❤
I am a Portuguese living in China and watching your videos has been so therapeutic for me.
I am loving my experience in China and I love the Chinese people, culture and language (I have wanted to come here for years!), but I do want to return to Portugal once my work contract ends.
Watching foreigners loving Portugal and appreciating my country, culture, and language makes me feel so happy and grateful for being Portuguese. And the thought that one day I will return to my country makes me even more grateful to be having this expat experience myself, here and now in China. All the experiences you go through in Portugal, I am going through the same but in China.
We are all humans, we are all citizens of the world :)
Beijos e felicidades para todos, de uma portuguesa na China! :)
So well said! Enjoy your experience 😊
Oh, I am in China and trying to learn Portuguese because met few friend who are native.
We spent a few years in Portugal, and Liz’s videos and course(s) were, for me, the very best of the many ways we came across to learn the language. They really are perfect for English speakers, whichever anglophone country you are from. I’ve noticed lately that there are a lot of ads on UA-cam which (oddly) try to belittle the idea of “watching UA-cam videos” to learn to speak Portuguese. But don’t be fooled - Liz’s vids and even more, her courses, are both fun and quite serious (not contradictory qualities), better than any other method I tried, which was quite a few. I have no financial or other interest here, just trying to pay our experience forward. Cheers!
Wow, thank you so much Jonathon!! I really appreciate it 😊
@@TalktheStreets You are very welcome! It’s all true. ✌🏼
Portuguese sounds like Spanish with a French accent.
What a stupid comment
My wife is half Madeiran and slowly learning Portuguese with your help. One of your suggestions was to listen to Portuguese music and she found it really helps, plus she now has a few favorites (Ana Moura & Carolina Deslandes). We love Portugal and have been to Madeira, Porto, Lisbon, Obidos, Nazare, Fatima, and Sintra. Been having saudades again, so making plans for Douro Valley and the Algarve.
So glad she's enjoying learning with music! 😊
@@TalktheStreets What's her name? Rubina?
We are heading to Portugal for our second trip next month, I appreciate your video! Last trip we visited Lisbon to Braga, and this trip we will be traveling more to the south, from Lisbon to Tavira. We hope to retire there and want to speak your wonderful language.
Sounds exciting!! 😊
My girlfriend is Portuguese and I’m trying to learn the language. Your videos are very helpful, thank you so much ❤️
Happy to hear that!
I will be visiting Portugal in June for 3 weeks, it will be my 3rd visit. I will see Coimbra, Porto and Algarve. I am planning to move to Portugal next year.
Maravilhoso!!
Coimbra is the best. This is where I live ;-)
Porto is just amazing 🤩 the food and wine are the best.
@@camillesolange182 Can’t wait to explore your town! Will be cycling a month in Portugal and happy to be staying in Coimbra for four days this May 👏👏🙋♀️
That’s so exciting for you! Have you narrowed down where precisely you’ll live, at least initially? Seems so many gorgeous areas, I can imagine it would be challenging to decide where
Happy to find your vids. Pronunciation so clear. You repeating each phrase would be wonderful. Thank you.
Traveling for the 1st time to Portugal in April 2023.
My husband and I are visiting Portugal, including Lisbon, Coimbra, and Tamar for the first time this summer. We are looking at Portugal as a place where we might want to retire, although we currently live in the USA. I speak German as my first language, so I am hopeful that I can learn Portuguese.
Headling to Porto/Lisbon in less than three weeks. We've done Italy/France in the past two years and did ok with our limited language skills. Thanks for helping on this journey.
Sounds great!
Perfect timing! I'm going on a cruise from 18/3/23 to 1/4/23 and two of the destinations are Madeira and Lisbon. So, I've been doing what I can to boost my beginner level European Portuguese and not embarrass myself!
Happy to help 😊 Hope you enjoy it!
So excited to go to Lisbon and Caiscais with some of my family members next month, August 2024.
I’ve been listening to multiple videos you have made and am thoroughly enjoying your style of teaching. Thank you! This will be a vacation so I’m trying to get a few words/phrases to practice and memorize before our trip.
Thank you!
Have fun! :)
So happy I found your channel! My husband and I are considering moving to Portugal from America, and we are coming for a three week trip to tour most of the country in just over a week. We love to learn the languages of the countries we visit and speak as much of the native tongue as possible. I'll be binging your videos now! Obrigado!
So exciting Jenny! Do reach out if you decide to relocate here, I'd love to help you guys out with Portuguese :)
Your videos have been very helpful during our travels and now we’ll be living in Portugal. So our kids are learning from this video to start with. Appreciate it, thanks!!
That's great! Happy to help 🥰
Thank you for this video!!! My wife and I are coming in May. I hear that a lot of people in Portugal will speak English but I would love to be able to say some simple phrases and sentences. It seems the polite thing to do.
Obrigada from Australia!!! Your videos are incredible, especially the way you break down pronunciation and nasal sounds. My dad is from Madeira and we are heading over there for a holiday soon, I feel a lot more confident thanks to your videos :)
Hi Sarah! I'm Madeiran too and I live in Adelaide!
I have been coming to Portugal since 2009. I haven't been since 2018 but looking forward to visiting again. I'm planning to retire there in about two years. I retired last year to enable me to wind down. I'm looking b to live near Porto.
Sounds very exciting!
It will help me so much! Obrigada!
I will be in Braga for 3 weeks. It's a beautiful country.
My wife and I arrive on 22 April for our new life in Portugal! Muito obrigado for all your help in preparing us. We look forward to meeting you and Mike.
So exciting!!
@@TalktheStreets And we're here!
Yes I am coming soon I will be in touch love your style of teaching its Auspicious
Thanks so much! 😊
Heading to Portugal for only two weeks. Lisbon, a few days down the coast in the fisherman’s trail, then a couple days to drive to Porto, back to Lisbon and home. Starting April 25. Thanks for the video!!
I am planning to stay in Albufeira, for a week. I’ve never been to Portugal before and I’ve been bed/housebound for the last 16 years. I never thought that I would be able to even consider travelling, so I’m super excited 😝… my health condition affects my brain, so that I can’t remember things very well or think clearly… therefore your videos are ideal for me..thanks
Obrigada, this was very helpful!
Hello Liz. I'm moving to Lisbon in 2 months, and your videos really help me learn Portuguese. Thank you!
I'm so glad!! :)
Obrigado - something that now makes sense, thanks
Glad to hear it!
Muito obrigado pelo video. Otima quinta-feira.
De nada!!
Plan to visit in late July, after attending our daughter’s graduation at UEA in England. Will base our travels around Porto. I have heard and read so many positive things about Portugal that I have to see for myself.
Awesome, enjoy your trip!
Obrigada! I so appreciate your helpful vlogs especially as we prepare for a cycling trip in Portugal this Spring.
So glad you enjoy my videos! 😊
Obrigada. From South Africa. Going to walk the Portugese Camino. Thank you.
On the road to Porto while watching this video. Excited for our visit!!
Hope you enjoy it!
Great videos! Thank you. I’m visiting Lisbon and Porto next week. These phrases will be very helpful.
Wonderful!
I am visiting Portugal for the first time on a cruise first stop in Madeira and our last stop in Lisbon
From Hong Kong, very interested in Portuguese. Love your channel. Obrigado ~~
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you thank you thank you, Liz - my boyfriend and I are headed to Lisbon for 8 days this April, and we really want to speak in Portuguese as much as possible while there. We have watched several of your videos, and you have taught us all we know, so far! Thanks for your approachable aura, and for your wisdom!
I'm so glad! You'll love it here
@@TalktheStreets We're staying in Paco de Arcos the whole time, so we hope to travel around the area as much as possible! Thank you again!
We're going on holiday to Lisbon and Cascais with our daughter for the first time!
I will be flying to Lisbon tomorrow for World Youth Day! This is very helpful. Obrigada..
Visiting Portugal for first time. Fun and biz. Porto, Evara, Coimbra, Lisbon and points between. Your lessons are excellent- clear and I can really hear and understand the difference between Portuguese and Spanish
Awesome! I'm so glad
My family will be visiting Lisbon in June and we are so excited. Thank you for these videos. We will be listening to them daily.
Obrigada, that was perfect.
love your videos. planning my second trip this year, started with Lisboa and Porto hope to explore more and to relocate from the US. thanks for your help.

Awesome! And welcome to Portugal! I highly recommend checking out my free lesson for beginners if you're just getting started: www.talkthestreets.com/speak-portuguese-like-a-pro
Thank you! This was great, especially as someone who has learned a bit of Spanish and is visiting Lisbon & Porto for a week. Will be helpful :)
Glad it was helpful!
I'm looking at visiting Azores and would love to move there in a few years.
I moved to Thailand 10 years ago. I have learnt how to say in Thai the words, please, thankyou, hello, left, right, straight ahead. That's all I need. I would like to learn basic Portuguese and maybe a few more words than I know in Thai. It's going to be very obvious we are tourists when we go there though so hopefully the locals excuse our pathetic ability to speak the language. This video is a great help for that. Thank you.
Thanks so much for this! We had our honey moon in Porto and all I could say was obrigado and ola 🤣 I'm gonna make sure I am better next time!! Cheers from London!!
Bom dia! My husband and I will be visiting Portugal May 21-31, 2023. Leaving tonight. We will be staying in Sintra, visiting Lisbon, other close by towns, and the beach areas near Sintra.
Very excited!!!
This video was very helpful. Obrigada!!!
So glad! Enjoy the trip!
@@TalktheStreets We LOVED Portugal. Thank you for this video. It was very helpful.
Obrigado, I am selling up here in Wales and plan to move to Portugal, probably to somewhere fairly central. I plan to buy a caravan so I can look around before buying. Your voice is perfect, so often tutors are muffled and lack clarity.
Sounds great! Thank you so much, happy to help!
@@TalktheStreets 👍 subscribed
Oi Liz! Muito obrigado! I’ll be staying around Oriente and around Avenida Da Liberdade.
Just
This is so helpful, ive been on a few holidays in the algarve and Ive picked up bits here and there, but im considering volunteering at a dog shelter in Albufeira next summer so I definitely want to learn more portuguese
Wonderful!
My husband and I are Canadian and are looking forward to celebrating our 25th anniversary in Portugal this fall.
So exciting!
love these! Going to Portugal next week! Cannot wait and your videos are amazing!
We're heading to a couple or three towns in South Portugal this winter. I love that you get right down to the lessons. So many language videos provide half the content in twice the time.
So glad you enjoyed it!
i ve pland to spend this summers in Portugal
One week away from our first (exploratory) visit and super excited!
Obrigado! The reason why Portuguese intrigues me is My last name is Montero or Monteiro all my research for my roots takes me to Portugal. There is a huge Portuguese community in California I visit the area more nd more and feel crappy to be sounding in Spanish. I hope I can start learning the language better so I can feel a bigger part of things when I visit, thanks
You've got this!
Just started planning a trip for next summer with my mom to Porto, Fatima, and Lisbon before heading to Spain and Morocco. (And then back up through Spain) Figured I should start brushing up on my Portuguese now. 😉
Amazing!
I hope You tube is adequately compensating you. Very valuable tool you provide for those hoping not only to learn, but to pronounce words and phrases properly. Going to Madeira...cannot wait!
That's so exciting, enjoy!
Visiting next April so I've got time to learn.
Exciting!
Traveling to Sao Miguel next July. My father’s family originated from there.
Going to Portugal for the first time on early June!! We'll visit Porto, Duoro Valley, Coimbra, Tomar, Evora, Obidos, Sintra, Lisbon. Can't wait!!
So exciting!
Hi Liz, i am new to watching your channel in the last few weeks,enjoying the videos.I bought a property near Porto da Mos at the end of 2022 for my retirement in 9 years time,so starting to learn words as i go,your videos a great help.thank you.Stephen
I'm Portuguese living in the US and knew some of the language growing up because both of my parents were born in the Azores. They immigrated here in the 60's with my grandparents but needed to learn english when they came so Potuguese wasnt always spoken all the time so i never properly learned it. I visited Sāo Miguel August 2023 and fell in love with it but hated that i couldnt communicate more. I recently started using your study material on Quizlet and I watch your videos daily. They have been such a huge help. My husband and I are hoping to plan a long trip in 2025 to Libon and then back to Sāo Miguel and i hope to be able to speak more fluently by then. Any tips for Azorean Portuguese? i know some words can be different and some slang and/or accents.
That's awesome, so glad the channel has been helpful! I don't have specific tips for Azorean PT unfortunately, but I do recommend checking out my free 60-minute lesson “Speak Portuguese like a Pro” - it’s a quick start guide for total beginners covering pronunciation, real-life Portuguese & essential grammar! You can sign up for it here: www.talkthestreets.com/speak-portuguese-like-a-pro :)
I will be down in Lisbon and Albufeira at the end of August .. Can't wait
Very exciting!
Hi Liz
Will be visiting a couple of the Azore Islands this fall. So enjoying your videos - trying to learn a few Portuguese phrases that I can use during my visit.
I'm so glad! Enjoy!
We are going to host a yoga retreat near Lisbon in May 2024 so I really want to learn some Portuguese before and be able to speak with locals and help organize some daily visits.
Obrigada, really good x
just beautiful the way you explained
I will go to Portugal for the first time this late summer/fall. I will visit Lisbon then head south along the coast for a seaside vacation and cultural fun. Faro. Algarve. Glad to have found your channel for language help.
Sounds fun!!
i was born in portugal and only lived there until i was 3-4 so i never really learned how to speak it, i wang to learn again now!
Yey! My channel is a great place to get started 😊
I will be visiting Lisbon Portugal from May 7 -17.
Hi! Visiting Portugal in Nov/Dec 2024... Lisbon, Sintra, Combria, Porto and day trips around there... thank you for these helpful videos!!!
So exciting!! 😊
I love your teaching Liz.
I'm so glad!
Hi, I will come to Portugal soon,
nice to know this video, learn a bit local word from your video. Intresting
Have fun!
Traveling to Lisbon next month. I've studied Brazilian Portugese in the past, so trying hard to get the European accent down now!
Exciting! You're in the right place :)
Thanks for the content! Im looking forward to being in Porto from South Africa for 2 months soon 😊❤
Exciting!
I’m a Brit living in the USA. During the 90s I was fortunate enough to make an impressionable number of visits to Portugal. The country became my most favoured country in Europe. ( Not withstanding England).
Now about language. I was able to navigate fairly well. However, the hardest part of any encounter with a local individual was their instant attempt to practice their mastering of the English language. Especially the younger generation as it was being taught in school. The people I did business with insisted that I provide a correction to any English grammar/ spelling in their communications to other English speakers. ( I loved them for it ).
I’m now in my early 80’s and potential for another visit seems remote. SAD.
I liked your comment very much. Im portuguese and it reminded me when, in late 90's, at a algarve beach motel i had this big conversation with a brit from sunderland, my first contact with a foreigner. At that time cable or sattelite TV was rare, so learning english was not that easy. That man never corrected me but i bet he could have done it many times. I will never forget it.
Btw please ignore the age, if you can still move, MOVE. Best regards Mr John.
But you still have that experience under your belt. More than most people! As they say here in Spain, "que te quiten lo bailado". They can't erase those dances that you did indeed dance!!
Nice translation s. Keep it up.
We will be visiting a variety of cities/towns from Lisbon to Porto in October 2024. Then we’ll spend 4 days in Cascais, before returning to the US. Very excited!
Sounds awesome!
Thank you Liz for the slow break down of pronunciations. We're moving to Portugal and I feel that learning the language is very overwhelming and stressful for me. So thank you for your videos.
Glad it was helpful! Have you checked my free lesson for beginners? It's a great place to get started :)
Thank you so much I moved to cascais a while back with family and just started lessons. Your videos are so helpful
I'm glad!! :)
I am from Mexico. One thing I like about Portugal is the many greetings. Bom dia, boa tarde etc. Much like here. Whereas in Soain "ola" and "vale" right and left.
Obrigado pelo Channel; para nós e muito interessante fazer as viagems là: o povo é nobre e gentil, as cidades tem qualidades unicas, os sotaques varios tambēm.
Hi! I will be visiting Portugal next month and trying to learn the basics! I'm from Peru and talk Spanish/English but I like to make the effort (if possible) to communicate in the language of the place I'm visiting. I'm glad I discovered your channel because the content is very didactic and I already learned new words and pronunciations. For sure will be watching more videos :)
I'm so glad!
I’m on the coach right now heading to stanstead to go faro; I’m revising all your videos
Awesome!! Enjoy the Algarve!
I’m going to Lisbon, Sintra, and driving to Porto 😃 First time, so thanks for the survival tips!
Have a blast!
Thanks for making this so much less intimidating! I'm visiting Lisbon soon!
Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you for another great video. I’ve been going to Portugal every year since 2017 and planning to move there in the next couple of years.
So exciting!!
Going to Alvor in August. Very excited as its my first time to Portugal
Have an awesome time!
I liked👍gostei 👍
So glad!
Hey, first timers to Portugal this December for three weeks over Christmas. Cannot wait 😀 staying in Praia da Rocha.
Hope you enjoy it!
I'm planning to visit Lisbon + Sintra and Cascais, then Tomar, Coimbra, Porto, & Braga with side trips to Guimaraes & Viana do Castelo. Have gathered loads of information on history & architecture etc. - I'm a little obsessive that way -- then realized I should know how to say a few things.
Sounds great!
I like your video. I will be traveling to Cascais. Thank you
Hope you enjoy it!
Coming in June for my scouting trip!
Me hubiera gustado ver este vídeo antes de haber ido a Portugal 😸. I learned Brazilian Portuguese and I thought that it was necessary for survive in Portugal and NOT. People was so nice and talked me in spanish or in english 🙈.
Eheh yes, that happens!
Isso é no minimo ridiculo, o português de ambos os paises não tem grandes diferenças, talvez você tenha encontrado alguém que não gosta de brasileiros
Ahhh, the similarities with other languages makes understanding easier but it also makes getting the subtle pronunciation differences harder. I’m a Canadian English speaker that tries to learn a few polite phrases when traveling. I am certain I will be mashing together spanish, Italian, French, and English on my trip to Portugal 😂 but I shall try 😊.
Eheh that happens, but you've got this!
Hi Liz. I've been enjoying learning what I can from your videos. My wife, Amy, & I are visiting Portugal for the first time this summer, for almost a full month in June and July. Algarve the first week, Lisbon area the 2nd, Porto/Braga the 3rd, then mosey down thru the Silver Coast back to Faro to fly out mid-July. We are considering moving there next year or so, but even if not, we're thrilled to be able to explore your country for the first time. Obrigado.
Wonderful, hope you have a great trip!
We just moved here and I can’t sound right but at least I am starting to understand! Thank you for your help!
Happy to help!
We will be visiting Lisbon, Porto and the Algarve region. We want to move to the Algarve region in 3-5 years. Thanks so much for the videos.
How exciting!
If I'm Spanish, am I allowed to have a Spanish accent?
