I just wanted to say that I really value your content. Thank you so much.

Muito útil, como sempre. Já há anos que estou a estudar português e ainda é difícil ultrapassar o medo, a frustração, a decepção por não ter aprendido algo bem. É um verdadeiro processo psicológico, que bom que estejas a difundir conselhos, apoio e motivação, mesmo para enganar. :) No amor, na guerra e na aprendizagem da língua tudo é permitido!

Love this! I will be looking for my learning partner today! Obrigada!

Just went to Portugal for a week for vacation and it was hit or miss to be honest. I managed to order Bifana in Lisbon and had a short conversation with the waiter who could understand everything I said. Then nobody understood me in Coimbra nor Aveiro. In Porto I was more lucky and when I was drunk I felt super comfortable and went on to speak Portuguese with my newfound friends, they were so surprised and happy!

Great tips. I started learning portuguese to talk to Brazilians, and am now interested in learning european portuguese also. I used iTalki to find native brasileiros. I also used tandem. To be honest i was inundated by offers from Brazilians because the ratio of gringos learning portuguese to the other way around is so skewed in the native english speakers favour. Five years later i am still good friends with my language partner who lives in Santos.

My Killer Tip … Try exchanging WhatsApp audio messages. That way you can listen 2-3 times and make sure you understand before responding.

Eu gosto muito da Tandem. Encontrei alguns parceiros, mas agora com dois ou três ( 2 brasileiros e um de Portugal) tenho conversas regulares!

This video is for me thanks! I have a few language exchange partners but they are not confident with speaking English whilst I’m ready to go!! I’ve started speaking to myself but my reading and writing is miles more advanced than my speaking. I find the Angolans are more available for telephone calls.

Gosto muito dos seus videos, mas admiro porque não ensinas na lingua portuguesa em vez do inglês?

[beitesbaptiste]

Há muito tempo que estou a usar "Tandem", essa aplicação me ajudou muito!!
No entanto não há muitos portugueses... Eu recomendo mais pelas pessoas que querem aprender português do brasil.

[nicolettabernardi]

Olá de Itália 😊
Obrigadissima pelo vídeo!
Estudo português e tenho um nível médio (B2).
Há alguém interessado em falar italiano?

[TheSockdologer]

Speaking with my portuguese co-workers. Although they all speak english perfectly, I sometimes do short calls with them one-on-one in portuguese!

[emma-janeharrison]

Olá Liz, I am struggling to find a European Portuguese exchange talker. I have tried tandem but none have European Portuguese as a 1st language. Any suggestions?

[europeanportugueseresource]

thanks for another great video! I agree with the idea of getting out of your comfort zone, when I moved to Portugal I started volunteering to force me to (try to) communicate with people and then even joined a theatre project and got to speak a little Portuguese on stage. It has been hard to maintain speaking practice during the pandemic though :(

[DaCleva]

Thanks for the tips.Tandem is a great app.I'm currently using it as we speak.I have language partners from Portugal and Angola.
