learn to speak Portuguese

i should start small… baby steps… with 15 mins a day or something.

that might help me to keep up with this goal.

yesterday and today. to be fair i was just listening to them not repeating back. and today i was listening to it while doing other things, so i dont think i am really taking much in beside the odd word.

i need to make time to focus on this and listen, learn and repeat. and not try and do it while doing other things. i can do it while say cooking, but not while typing docs or searching things online cos then i retain nothing that way.

so need to do better with this. more attention and focus

at listening to one of the cds today while i was cooking. gonna hgave to work harder on this.

a set of learn to speak portuguese cds , and it comes witha work book , from WH Smith.

havent tried it yet, think i will try and devote an hour to it everyday.

marlow language centre is just round the block from me.

so i am considering seeing if i can learn portugues there. as well as see if i could do a TEFL course there as well as teach there eventually.

its jsut a thought at this stage.

but will def go there and enquire about portuguese lessons, i think face to face classes would prob be so much more beneficial than trying to learn on ur own online or something.

something for me to look into this week

im going to spend some money and pay for a proffesional course like rosetta stone or something, i think that is what it is called.

i really would like to be fluent in my parents language, and to be able to have a conversation in portuguese and feel confident in my language ability. also i want to be able to say with confidence that i am fluent in portuguese.

so yeah think im def gonna look out for those courses, sign up and then try and practice every day.

once i am fluent in portuguese, id like to try and learn other lanuages and be fluent in as many languages as possible.

made an attempt with the language software, but i think its a bit limited. think u have to pay for more lessons or something. but i learnt a few things. need to do some more and see how limited or not, it is.

keep using the software, and or look into others applications for learning.

in fact i have the software downloaded on my pc, and i havent used it yet.

i think i will do that now instead of talking about how i want to achieve goals on 43 things, im gonna actually make a start on this one!

think i might even post some phrases as i learn them on here for practice etc

off to go learn some portuguese! adios!

I want to learn to speak portugues!

Only after I learn to speak Spanish fluently
