Hi! I'm Portuguese and I think a good way of learning how to say the "ão" sound (like in the words "não" and "João" you mentioned) is to think of it as a barking sound (yes, a bark from a dog).
Thanks for the video and welcome to Portugal!

As a portuguese I have to say that your accent is absolutely perfect

[frapiment]

Saying "Bom dia" and "Obrigado/a" is the least you can ask of a foreigner, what is regrettable is seeing most people not even bothering to do that, just "thank you" all the time.

In Australia “Oi” is used to get somebody’s attention. 00:52

Hi Wolter, I love your class! Thanks or obrigada!😊😊

[simonledoux]

Wow, you accent is pretty good. I did see what mistake/typo. You should say " Não falo português and NOT "Não fala português."

[Gushio]

One small detail... "Desculpa" is when you know someone... If you don't know the person you say "desculpe". No gender there, you use it for male of female.

Your Portuguese accent (as in, from Portugal) is awesome!

I thought this was an ad for a company called "Sim Yes". Then I had my coffee. 😂

[Rennnix]

remember, in portuguese, every word has a gender

[MBT]

Don't ask for a "bica" here in Porto. It's "café" or "cimbalino".

[theodoresmith]

Don't, I mean don't, ever speak Spanish in Portugal. They do not like it at all and will let you know it. Seriously

[nerdinium]

After learning 4 years of Spanish, Portugese pronunciation and spelling breaks my brain. 😭

[theodoresmith]

I had no problems and enjoyed foz do iguaca, the waterfall and stayed 4 nights on the Brazilian side. Never went to the Atlantic.

I love the opening music Wolter! I'm not on my usual account cause I'm in Costa Rica. Egypt flag! 🌴 camel! Sorry, my travel phone doesn't have the normal emojis.

i know Walter picked the Sporting jersey :)

Bom dia, in Brazil, is actually spoken Bom Djiiia

[People_of_the_Mouse]

I am 14 hours into 150 hours of portuguese language training for my passport app certification. my latin & french helps with the written word but the spoken part is tough. every word has a gender and every group of words has at least one exception. then after you painfully learn the grammer you watch a portuguese show, like Sabio, and they speak so fast while dropping or blurring those little words you have tried so heard to learn.

Hello Wolter, I'm big fan of your channel. Let me ask you a question. Do you have plans to meet with your subscribers? Like, a meetup or something similar.

[LOKIable]

Thanks for posting this video! Like you I learned Portuguese as a second language. By the way, one of the captions is wrong: it should read "Eu não falo português" instead of "Eu não fala (...)'. Keep up the good work!
