Learn Portuguese

I speak Spanish and French already. Portuguese should be fairly “easy” as a next step. At least this is more realist than what I first had in mind: Russian.
Why did I change my mind? I went to Lisbon where I first heard the nice sounds of this language, and I will visit Brasil next year.
I’m just not sure on how to begin if I do it by myself. Any tips are always very welcome!

And well, its alright. for me, portuguese is harder than arabic, because it has cognates and so everyone assumes I already speak spanish (or french or italian) and that I know all those words anyway. Well, I don’t so I need to work on my vocabulary but otherwise it isnt bad so far. I really like it. Sometimes it’s hard because if I can’t think of a word in Portuguese I substitute the arabic word and that just sounds silly.

I’m making fair progress, I’ve an excellent teacher and seem to have reached that basic level where one isn’t simply overwhelmed all the time.

Getting a good, private tutor has been crucial for me, because my wife speaks English and I risk living here in Brazil in a sort of English-speaking bubble, watching American films and using the internet.

I am learning Portuguese so when I live in Brazil – I can communicate!!

I am using online lessons and translators to teach myself and my family some basic conversational Portuguese, before the exchange student from Brazil arrives in November.

i’m not working towards this and it’s taking up space that could go towards things i could be working towards.

My husband is Brazilian and we’ve been living in Brazil for two years. I understand a lot when spoken to in Portuguese and can read at about 75% but I have a lot of trouble speaking.
I want to be fluent so I can raise my 2 month old daughter to speak it. We are moving to the US to raise her and I worry that her father won’t be consistent in teaching her his native tongue. It’s very important to me that she be able to communicate with her family in Brazil.

I have done spanish, but I have to learn Portuguese for the biggest country in Latin America – Brazil!

I love the way it sounds too :-)

The software I got is amazing! I already learned a lot of the basic stuff :)

So far I’ve started basic core lessons on Portuguese, since I already know Spanish it’s been easier than I though, all is looking good :D
