Another way to express you're fine, not doing particularly well, not bad either is "vai-se andando", "vai-se indo" (or using the first person "vou indo/andando"). It kind of gives the idea of "I'm going and managing it as things/life comes". You can also add this at the end of those more negative responses just to mean you don't really feel like talking about it, don't need help, you're managing it. Something like "não muito bem, mas vai-se indo", "Já estive melhor, mas vou andando".
"Já estive melhor" (I've been better) is also a way to express you're not doing so well.

This is great. My son in Portugal texts me every morning “Tudo bem?” I always answer the same because I’m just starting to learn Portuguese. I used your video and went old fashion on this by making flash cards to help me answer. Your videos are great… thanks.

Muitíssimo Obrigado e Feliz Aniversário para você aí, sou Timorense sempre assistindo o Seu Vídeo porque gosto muito aprender Português Portugal 😍

[BrunoSantos-lijz]

Amazing content As a portuguese living in Lisbon, i imediately subscribed! I don't even need it, but I still watch your videos. ❤️

Conteúdo fantástico! Enquanto português que vive em Lisboa, eu subscrevi imediatamente. Eu nem preciso disto, mas mesmo assim vejo os teus videos ❤️

[BBHero]

Literally thank you this is exactly what I need this channel is amazing!

[SunflowerCrpm]

Happy birthday! Great options! I think a very Portuguese response is "vai-se andando" though, especially this year. Essentially akin to "How's it going?" "It's going" We're not the most effusive of people, but this one works in every setting, while actually saying you're not doing well is more for people you're close with.

[navvsharma]

you are amazing....such a amazing teacher i have never seen...

[NeverEndingWorldTour]

WOW! Came here for some convo opening tips and just wanna say that's crazy you were celebrating almost 6k subs at this time, 1.5 years ago, and now you've grown 40k more!

Hi Liz! This is a rather useful video, especially for those whose mother tongue is English. I discovered you while watching one of Leo's videos about the differences between European and Brazilian Portuguese. I am chuffed to see that there are great teachers in Lisbon, who teach and promote our language. You do something that I would not be able to do: you make European Portuguese easy and accessible.

[annamaddox]

I love your channel and teaching. muito obrigada

[ayeshasiddiqua]

You're a life saver Liz. I spent months learning Portuguese only to realize I'm doing it all wrong. And then I found you, you're amazing at what you do. Wish I'd found u sooner.

I'm such a beginner and stumbled onto your channel. This has been such a great video. Our family is planning on moving, so you're such a refreshing change from other channels! Cheers!
