I don’t need Portuguese or English lessons and have no idea why this got recommended. But I stayed for her British accent, that’s really cute.

Portuguese has been kicking my butt, but I'm learning.

Adoro ver alguém que não é português com um domínio tão bom da língua portuguesa. Parabéns!

[elenabicu]

I wish somebody told me all this when I just started learning Portuguese! Well done, Liz! Keep up the great work!

É fantástico como reparas nos pequenos detalhes. Gostei muito da explicação. Os teus vídeos são excelentes!!! Para mim também são muito úteis por causa do inglês porque eu também sou professora de português, inglês e espanhol e eu também reparo muito nesses pormenores todos!!!! Principalmente porque estou em Espanha a ensinar português e inglês.

Interestingly, Japanese speakers also put "ne" at the end of a sentence for an effect of "right?"/"eh?"/"innit?" No etymological relationship whatsoever, just a neat little coincidence.

"Tchau tchau, Beijinhos" you sound so adorable when you say it 😍.

Hello! I found you recently and it's true, what you're doing is very unique.
We have several things in common: both born in the same country, both live abroad (I'm in Italy) and both promote a foreign language, rather than our first one!
I think it's great what you're doing, there really was a need to feel the gap. 15 years ago I heard European Portuguese for the first time and my initial reaction was: "I want to hear more of this!" But of course you know there wasn't much I could do about that. I had no idea that one day resources like yours would pop up.
Whilst over the years I dedicated myself to Italian, the idea of studying European Portuguese also stayed in the back of my mind. Now we're in an age where it's actually possible to study it effectively, because of people doing what you're doing. With the resources you're creating, people are seeing that it's actually possible to learn it and this will encourage them to do it, so you're promoting the language and maybe there will be a lot more speakers of this language because of it.
You could've done the more obvious and boring thing, such as teaching English (many have tried to convince me to do this over the years, but I've never given into it), but what you're doing instead is protecting something rare and that's what we need. Human beings don't only want to study languages based on their economic worth, but also study languages that have beautiful words and sounds, people also want to take pleasure in the words they say and hear.
So please, continue protecting and promoting a beautiful language like European Portuguese! In this world we also need BEAUTIFUL LANGUAGES, not just useful ones.

Wow! I'm a native portuguese speaker from Lisbon and these are in fact really good tips! We do 'eat' a lot of syllables.. :D

[kosmossideral]

Have you heard this? What else do you need "decoding" in fast Portuguese?

[TheRainbowBlob]

I remember asking my mum, "how do you say "how do you say" in Portuguese?". She told me "comeqsediz", and then I asked how you spell it... What do you mean it's five words?! 😂😂

[RandomHockeyFan]

As a Spanish language learner European portuguese is much understandtable for me because the grammar is similar to Spanish

[matildevinagre]

Hi! Im portuguese and i love your video!
It really explained how the Portuguese language works when we speak!

[MarmarCullen]

Eu sou do Brasil mas adoro ver esse videos haha

[closgah]

Obrigado!! Eu sou Mexicano/Americano que está prendendo português do Brasil mais duas dicas me ajudam-me

[TheAndrmart]

My dad and Avó are Portuguese and he spoke to me in Portuguese growing up. I’m using Duolingo to learn a more formal form of Portuguese but this video explains a lot of the words I’ve heard that I haven’t learned formally yet (always thought tá bem was também, always heard para ai also)

[spyhunter]

Very helpful! One word I’ve heard people saying is just obrigad instead of obrigado/a. It’s very obvious though, but I find it interesting.
