I’ve had green wine in Portugal . It was so refreshing and almost tasted like sparkling fruit juice .I’ve never tasted anything like it but I don’t remember the name of it.
Fantastic video! Thanks to you both, Sérgio speaks very clearly to my North American ears. Some new vocabulary for me was xisto, castas autóctones, and iguarias.
@@hellophoenix instead of saying red white or rosé on the bottle, it will say "Vinho verde". I don't know if you are in Portugal ? Brands you may get outside Portugal are "O Gato" or "Lancers". In Portugal there are lots of different wineries that make vinho verde, especially in the north where it is mostly made.
Yes I did! This was a great exercise, so useful its amazing! I also slowed the playback down a bit which also helped. All I would say is can we have the transcript please? My understanding is that if the captions are correct then the transcript should be available from UA-cam by the publisher. I will certainly be using this again, and again! Probably also the wines and port ;)
I listened without the subtitles first , then checked the English. Very pleased with myself that I understood about 95% of it !! Sergio did speak very slowly and clearly though. I even caught his joke about 9 months of winter and 3 months of hell. Glad you had a fabulous weekend .
This video is brilliant! Why? 1. The speaker is clearly pronouncing all the words, even if some of them are shortened or ALMOST undetectable. As a result, we can understand a lot. 2. The speaker is standing in front of us, and talking to us with no judgement about our Portuguese ability level. There’s no need to feel nervous! 3. The topic has been narrowed down so much, that it’s easy to guess what is being said. And, the number of difficult words are held down to a minimum and they are repeated, so we can remember them. 4. We can enjoy the lovely Portuguese scenery. 5. We can learn something about Portugal’s wine industry. 6. We can get to know a native Portuguese speaker.
This might be the most helpful way of teaching Portuguese ever. Transcript in the right corner and Portuguese subtitles in the video. Thanks ever so much, hope this will become the golden standard somehow. I truly believe it is the best way to learn, it is for me at least.
I've been practicing listening to Portuguese mainly Brazilian, but I live in Spain and have been to Porto and Lisboa, I love them cities, I had such a great time in both of them. I'm self-taught and I thought I spoke a bit of Portuguese, enough to make myself understood, but gosh was I shocked my first time in Lisboa, I tried to talk to a waiter and didn't catch anything he was saying, his sotaque was so different, now I'm happy I kept practicing I was able to understand the whole video, and it keeps getting better. Congrats on the great job! Parabéns e muito obrigado 😗
Thank you Liz! this is good. I realised my listening is suffering as here in Lisbon people speak so fast! great to see real speech with transcript! I wish we could do this in the streets too!
Wow. Nossa. I have been learning at home. I can understand with Portuguese subtitles about 70 per cent. My ear is attuned to Brazilian variety. But this helps. I want to learn both dialects.
muito bom !!! esse listening serviu pra mim, que sou brasileiro e nem sempre consigo compreender o Português-PT. Se bem que a pronúncia do Sérgio foi bem tranquila. O portuense é mais fácil.
Quando estava no Porto no verão de 2019, visitei o vale de Douro por um dia. A vista foi maravilhosa e os vinhos eram deliciosos. Obrigado por este video!
Yes, Liz this was helpful indeed. At this early stage, the English subtitles were great. Next' I'll try it with Portuguese subtitles. And I love Douro wines!
Exactly what I need! I listened a couple of times without subtitles and was surprised at how much I could understand, then listened with subtitles and found out that I had missed quite a bit too. If only everyone spoke as clearly as Sergio. Thank you so much!
Entendi quase tudo. Ajudou-me muito o meu espanhol. Gosto de ouvir diálogos, acho que são importantes para aprender línguas. Gostei muito deste vídeo. Muito obrigado Liz.
Watched that without any subs. Struggled at first but started to pick it up a bit about midway when talking about wine. That was so cool because I don't know any Portuguese, only some Spanish and French. I guess watching the video gives you clues you as well!
Liz, I understood 95% of that video, first time without subs. Undoubtedly helped by my love of the port region and therefore the context allowed me lock-in early on. I'm not saying this to be cocky but to give you an indication of where I am with the lingo and the level I should start at to improve my speaking, as opposed to my listening comprehension
Really good video, understood a lot more than I expected. I think a year or two ago this would just have been impossible for me to understand very much, just shows really it takes time (and a lot of frustration sometimes) for improvement to come!
Compreendi tudo sem legendas mas ele ajudou muito com uma pronúncia bem clara e aberta. As pessoas do norte de Portugal são mais compreensíveis em geral. Já agora o vinho do Porto, mesmo com esse nome, não é precisamente do Porto. O vinho envelhece em adegas na outra margem do rio Douro na cidade de Vila Nova de Gaia, à frente do Porto. PD: o teu canal é maravilhoso para amantes da cultura lusitana e estudantes de português europeu !
Aaaah please please do more like this!!! It's sooooo helpful, thank you so much, because listening to the radio is just impossible to me, it's too fast and there are no subtitles. This way, I can listen first a few times without subtitles, then I can check to see what I've missed!!! So helpful! Thank you!

Brilliant brilliant brilliant video! Whilst I do very much appreciate your English videos, more Portuguese content is definitely appreciated. Really enjoyed that. Did I mention it was brilliant?
Amazing video Liz! The first time I didn't use subs and I got the just of it. Not everything but I was shocked when I read the subs and I knew a bit. I'm definitely going to be adding a lot of these words to my vocab
Essas porções de vinho eram os meus tipos de porções! É estranho que eu possa compreender muito disso sem as legendas. Ele falou claramente. Usei a tua dica e “já passou, já passou” e não pensei demais! Correu bem! Muito bom vídeo! E ótimo trabalho na entrevista!
@@Airtemeus For those who don't know here's some origins of the provinces. Minho: Minho river is what divides a third of Galicia from Portugal. Comes from Latin 'minius' which is 'elated'. Douro: Durius is the Latin for 'harder' which also is why the Kingdom of Leon' forcely accepted' the independence of the Duchy of Portucale. They simply couldn't easily cross the valleys to stop the rebellious acts from the nobles to all the way down to the ordinary people. By the way, the city of Porto was never sucessfully sieged during Portuguese rule and was given the title of Invicta or Unbeaten by the queen at the time. Trás-os-montes: Literally Behind-the-hills from Porto point of view. Beira: Means border, so guess what. Estremadura: Beyond Douro, from north point of view. Spain has also Extremadura, with the same meaning. And no, not the Extrema dura meaning it looks it has. Alentejo: Além Tejo: Beyond Tagus. Now Lisbon gave this name. Algarve: Gharb al-Ândalus or west Andalusia. Açores: Goshawks Madeira: Wood
Lovely video - managed quite easily without the subtitles; but I checked them out anyway. The Portuguese subtitles were great to refer to; sadly the supposedly 'UK' English provided by UA-cam is not only not UK e.g. favorite, but has awful grammar like 'gonna'. One can only hope that Portuguese isn't being dumbed down as much as our own beautiful language. Ah well, thanks for the great video anyway.

How did it go, did you learn some new vocabulary? Which do you prefer, Port wine or table wine?

That's because he's from Northern Portugal and he has some Northern accent. That means vowels and words are more pronounced than in the South!
Loved it - understood about 90% of what the guy said without any subtitles

Seems like I still need to learn
Oh dear - I got a few words but by the time I translated them he was 40 words ahead !!! :)
that's normal in the beginning, keep trying and not trying to understand everything! x
All I heard was shh shh shsss. If this is typically what to expect from natives, I’m in trouble.
Apparently i had the same, sshh shh... lol. 😂😅🤦♀️
It sounds like that at first, but there are words there, promise!
I heard the same first time, I think it is the crappy speakers you get in tablets etc. When listened to using good head phones it was much clearer

Does the name Douro have anything to do with 'ouro', gold?
Good question! We actually asked this, he said some people say it does, but actually he thinks it is because it is a hard "duro" landscape to live in.
