learn how to speak fluent portuguese

i want to speak portuguese because my friends speak the language and i want to understand them.

I wan to learn to speak Brazilian Portuguese because I want omove to Brazil after college and my boyfriend’s family lives in Brazil and are bilingual and so I want to be also.

i’m brazilian, and i only know a little bit of portuguese…i want to be able to understand exactly what the fadistas are saying, and to have that exotic twist to my persona!

I have been given an amazing opportunity this coming summer, the summer of 2008, I will be taking a job in Portugal to get a practical experience in the Culinary field.

But I have a problem, I don’t speak Portuguese. “Eegasp, how will you survive!” Well here is my New Years Resolution, I am going to spend an hour each night learning Portuguese, I have found a site with “Podcasts” grammar lessons, exercises, and reading comprehension. On top of that, I have purchased a English to Portuguese dictionary, and a few Portuguese Text Books.

Now, this can only get me so far if I don’t know how to go about this. I have a very short time to learn, can you give me any tips?

wow portuguese is hard to learn,i need some cds and dvds

adeus,it means goodbye

If someone needs help with this, I’m currently staying in Portugal for a year, learning Portuguese… slowly.

I just spent a year in Brazil, and I learned that portuguese is one of the most beautiful languages in the world!

I did a post with Craigslist too. I’m chatting with a native from Rio, but she’s overloading me with phrases I don’t even know. I just started, as a matter of fact, my 2nd class is tomorrow night. I love the language but its hard to try to keep up…

I’ve purchased the Brazilian Portuguese I set and so far I’m on CD #5 of 16. It’s going smoothly. I like all the repetition because I find myself forgetting words or phrases. I’m on my way…

It is in my opinion a very sexy language. When correctly spoken, and with a neutral accent ( Lisbon accent, not a northern one. )
