      I am learning Portuguese because I met my girlfriend in Chicago who is Brazilian was born in Sao Paulo and is now living in Chicago. We are now visiting her family in Sao Paulo. Spanish was my minor in college so I'm used to conjugating verbs etc. Please allow me to compliment you again
      There may be many who are bilingually Portuguese and English but much fewer that can teach us clearly as you do. Thank you

    this channel is so good. I am moving to Floripa from Saint Louis in August, and this is the best br pt youtube channel I have found. I had thought I would learn more by just listening to videos that are exclusively voiced in Portuguese, but I think if I had learned all the rules in this set of videos initially, I would be months ahead of where I am now. he is so clear and concise. kind of dry, but if you're really trying to improve your Portuguese as fast as you can, you will love them. The 2 longer verb conjugation videos are extremely useful resources, and the examples of celebrity interviews and social media posts really seem to demonstrate the language well

    I just found your lessons a few days ago. I'm not a beginner but think they're superb: so clear and interesting. I'm off for my next trip in ten days, so plan to listen to as many as I can.
    I agree the differences between Brazilian and European Portuguese are great than between American and proper English.😂
    I really like both varieties of Portuguese but really, mãe is such an ugly sound.

    Hey, thanks so much for the great content! I look forward to exploring this series, and the Portuguese language, further. I speak, read, and write Spanish at a semi-advanced level and dream of getting a PHD in Latin American studies in the future. I haven't explored Brazilian history and culture nearly as much as I have the rest of LA but here's hoping learning this language becomes a new gateway for me!

    I want to thank you for all of these incredibly wonderful videos I'm 68 in the last time I studied Spanish in college I was 21. I remember receiving very good formal instruction in college. The quality of your classes remind me of this. You are very clear and allow me to feel confident that I slowly developing a foundation on which to climb further and further upward. I would Sao Paulo with my girlfriend visiting her family and when I return to Chicago I'll be starting classes with the Sao Paulo later who lives in Chicago. I want to hit the ground running and do the best I can and committed to working hard. Your classes online will be used by me to supplement and augment these classes God bless you thank you. I am a little interested to know about you and how you learned English in Portuguese so well. I hope you don't mind me asking I don't mean to dig too deep personally. Thank you laird

    Embora apenas comecei quase 2 anos atrás, ele é mudando minha vida. Como um americano nunca pensei que precisasse uma outra língua.. e.. eu não.. Inglês é rei no mundo né. Mas então um dia encontrei uma pessoa em um jogo e depois nos tornamos amigos e então comecei aprendendo português (BR).. sotaque-Rio.. ainda nunca tem uma oportunidade a falar.. assim minha motivação está faltando.. "dwindleing" como dizermos em inglês.. de qualquer forma... Minha vida mudou porque decidi a aprender uma outra idioma 😊. Um novo mundo para explorar. Na verdade, quero aprender italiano agora porque preciso uma pausa de português 😅 mas provavelmente não vai, não agora. Compreensão de português falada é o coisa mais difícil pra mim e eu só quer falar com pessoas e assitir móveis sem legendas 😭
