This lesson was brilliant - you have an amazing style of teaching Brazilian Portuguese- especially love how you provide pronunciation “sound like English ?”
Oh man, your videos are gold. Honestly. Really helped me learning the language. I wouldn't have any issue paying money for high quality content like this
I can speak english and spanish fluently. your first lesson has helped me tremendously understand Portuguese in a new light. thank you. will definitely tune in often for the new lessons!
Thank you very much! Very useful video to understand and get the pronunciation a bit more; I'm definitely going to watch it again. Please keep going! Greetings from Chile!
The three big things I learned in this lesson. 1. The "j" in viajar is pronounced like the "s" in measure. 2. The "d" in "adoro" is pronounced by touching the back of your teeth with your tongue. 3. Gostar + de + infinitive vs. Adorar + infinitive. I just had one question though...when you say "mas" it sounds a little bit like "mais", I don't think I have seen one of your videos that shows how to correctly say "mas"
Regarding pronunciation of "mas", you'll hear several ways of pronouncing it. "mas" is more of the standard, textbook pronunciation. "mais" is very common in casual speech. In Rio, you'll hear "maish". Basically regional and contextual differences. FYI I personally usually pronounce it as "mais"
Que bacana, atualmente moro na Irlanda e tenho um amigo da África do Sul e ele gosta muito do Português Brasileiro, ele pediu pra eu ensina- lo hahaha Estou ensinando ele no trabalho e enviei o teu vídeo para ele!
You are a really good teacher. I wish I'd followed your lessons when I started learning Brazilian. I need to make more effort with pronunciation and avoid Spanish sounds!
Kiitos, muito obrigado ❤ I previously watched your video on the pronunciation of open and closed wovels. It was confusingly difficult to distinguish between a closed sound and an open sound. But with this video, the open ”o” opened up for me when you taught to pronunciation of the word ”gosto” You are really good at teaching pronunciation 👍🏼 I also liked the recap of the previous episode (Lesson 1.), which you nicely added at the end 🥰
Appreciate it Edward! Based on the size of the wait list, the course will definitely happen...I'll be posting lesson 10 on the channel within the next few days, and you should hear more from me in a few weeks about the course. As for how I learned, it's a long story (which I'll eventually share with my email subscribers), but I basically fell in love with the language through bossa nova 22 years ago, immediately started learning it, and just basically never stopped :)
Can you recommend european portugues guideline just like yours. Your way of teaching is amazing. But I am suggested to learn european portuguese Please reply.
Lessons are great! Eu tenho uma pregunta. Porque does the verb "gosto" precisa the preposition "de" depois , mas a palavra "adoro" does not require the use of the preposition "de"?
Glad you're enjoying them! This is just the way the verbs work--some verbs require a preposition like "de", "em", "a", etc., and some don't. It's like in English how some verbs are followed by a preposition like "in" ("participate IN", "believe IN"), others use "on" ("depend ON", insist ON"), while others don't require any preposition.
@DecodingWordswithAndrew Entendi, Muito brigado for the prompt reply Andrew! Mais uma pergunta, claro não tem pressa. Cê oferece aulas individuais, talvez com preply ou zoom?
My wife said adoro is ok to use but literally means adore over love. Said I could still use it. But personally I'd prefer to stick with amo because I've never been the type to adore something 😆
Yeah, "adore" is the English cognate, but I agree that that's not something that many native speakers would say (at least guys)...I would never say that either, I think my buddies would clown the hell out of me if they heard me say that :) "adorar" on the other hand, is very common...with similar languages such as English and Romance languages, it can be tricky navigating these similar sounding words and think of them of direct equivalents, when they in fact they have different nuances in terms of tone and formality.
if you're worried that using "adoro" would make you sound like you're from the 1800's, here are a few examples of it being used by young guys in a very natural way: 1) ua-cam.com/video/2jRDDcQ7WLw/v-deo.html ("mas eu adoro jiu-jitsu") 2) ua-cam.com/video/2TYX9o2-u3o/v-deo.html ("Como eu adoro jiu-jitsu, eu amo o esporte") 3) ua-cam.com/video/ncCQ4nvaZug/v-deo.html ("Eu adoro jiu-jitsu, adoro MMA")
For sure--context is everything. If you've watched my "Hardest verb to translate" video, you'll see what I'm talking about ua-cam.com/video/Kb_06G-0gAg/v-deo.html
Love this. I have 2 questions. Are you going to be covering when 'De' is supposed to be used/not. like there is an exception between Adoro/gosto and a many other words. I/ am very confused by when I should and shouldn't use 'De' Also the final example you gave was with 'Adoro' if it was replaced with gosto would that final be sentence be translated to... "Eu gosto de ler, viajar e aprender linguas" ? Really incredible content btw. These have got to already be some of the best portuguese lessons on UA-cam.
For a very small set of verbs like "gostar", the "de" is just required...with most verbs, though, you won't use it. Regarding your second question--that is exactly right! For the videos in this series, I try not to provide too detailed of grammatical explanations as the goal to teach you to use your intuition (which apparently worked based on the correct example that you gave). I will have separate grammar-heavy tutorials, but these beginner videos are more to help you develop your "feel" for the language.
@@DecodingWordswithAndrew Great, keep this up. If you don't already you'll have a very profitable business based on the content you are putting out. This quality is unmatched.
@@DecodingWordswithAndrew BTW- I agree with many of the other comments; your videos are very informative. You are the only video instructor (that I've found) that shows and explains tongue placement for annunciation. This is extremely beneficial for these "unnatural" sounds.
I naturally don't speak with a Paulistano accent, but in these videos I do try my best to stick to a similar pronunciation model since I think it's the easiest to teach to an English speaker.

Please keep making more of these!😍🙏🏽. I love your videos. Thank youuuuu
Thank you! Will do!
I just came accross your channel. I can tell that your Spanish is perfect. Where did you learn those languages. Thanks for videos, very useful!
So glad you're enjoying the videos! I grew up in southern California around a lot of Mexicans so Spanish was a necessity :)
What helped me is not thinking of the "o" as a "u" sound but as an "oo" sound. That way I'm not changing the letter in my head. 😅
whatever works! :)
I like your short inbetween videos of people saying the sentence fast in real life
you are a life saver! thanks dude.
Happy to help!

The accent that I learn makes any S before a T an SH sound so essentially Gawsh-too 👍 Just thought I'd share that with people learning
👍
Eu preciso aprender a ser só
Question, is "de" pronounced differently in the South of Brazil like in Santa Catarina?
There are parts of Brazil (not necessarily just in the south) that pronounce the "d" with a hard "d" sound rather than "gee"
Eu gosto de ler. Eu adoro ler. (???) Por que nao "Eu adoro de ler"? Second lesson and I'm confused. Is there a rule to connecting "de" with the verb?
The verb "gostar" (to like) is one of the few verbs that require the "de" after. Most verbs like "adorar" (to love) to do not.
@@DecodingWordswithAndrew BTW- I agree with many of the other comments; your videos are very informative. You are the only video instructor (that I've found) that shows and explains tongue placement for annunciation. This is extremely beneficial for these "unnatural" sounds.

Thank you Khaldon, you will!

coming in the next few days!
Ok so, what I'm noticing is that the "de" goes before the verb, and after the adverb?😅
that's right!
Andrew, May I know which accent you speak in? Is it Paulistano?
I naturally don't speak with a Paulistano accent, but in these videos I do try my best to stick to a similar pronunciation model since I think it's the easiest to teach to an English speaker.
