  • you messed up on the he speaks and she speaks and you speak...

  • No, I didn't. Watch it again! :)

  • No Pará usamos o "TU"...Tem estados que falam "você"e outros que falam 'tu'.Usamos os dois.

  • Thanks, Milene :) por isso é bom receber comentários! Sei que usam o "tu" em muitas regioes )\:)

  • Hi Jason, ty for the lessons, most helpful.

    I am trying to teach myself Portuguese and have bought myself a book titled "501 Portuguese Verbs" which is very useful and conjugates all the verbs.

    One thing I would like to know is which tenses are the most useful to learn after the present tense, is it the Preterite and Future Indicatives ? Thanks for any help you can give.

  • probably the preterite, imperfect, as well as the progressive (I am eating, she is driving)... The future you can solve using "ir+verb": vou aprender, ela vai ligar, etc.

  • Mr. Jason congratulations for your lessons. Portuguese is a complex language to write. A lot of Brazilians write it wrong. C instead of S, S instead of Z. Example: conserto (to fix,repair), concerto (concert, show), lazer(leasure), laser(laser, ray). People that haven't been in school have difficult to write correctly.

  • Your pronunciation is surprisingly good for a foreigner! If I just may nit-pick a pit, the second A in "nós falAmos" is nasal, and pronounced like "uh" in English. But that's just one tiny little detail. Again, very well done! :)

  • Estoy observando que hay un monton de similitudes entre español y portugués.

    Thanks for taking the time to do these Videos. Just One question, which region of Brazil do the people generally have a vocabulary which resembles Spanish, 'cause there are some spanish words which do have a counterpart in portuguese, but it's not very common, like "rua" (street) can also be "calhe" (calle)???

    But again thank you so much for the lessons are r a very great help.

  • 'Thank you! This is so helpful for my beginning to study Portuguese!

  • TU é usado por todo o Rio Grande do Sul também.

  • Thanks a lot. You are very helpful.

  • continuação... futuro do presente: Eu falarei Tu falarás Ele falará Nós falaremos Vós falareis ELES falarão Futuro do pretérito: Eu falaria Tu falarias Ele falaria Nós falaríamos Vós falarieis Eles falariam
  • Eu conjugarei o verbo falar: Presente: Eu Falo Tu Falas / Você fala Ele Fala Nós Falamos Vós Falais / Vocês falam Eles Falam Pretérito perfeito: Eu falei Tu falaste / Você falou Ele falou Nós falamos Vós falais / Vocês falaram Eles falaram Pretérito imperfeito: Eu Falava Tu Falavas Ele falava Nós falávamos Vós Falaveis Eles falavam Pretérito mais que perfeito: Eu falara Tu falaras Ele falara Nós faláramos Vós falareis Eles falaram
  • Hi, just came across your contributions - MUITO OBRIGADO! Great, this will help me to spruce up my language skills- great, massive thank you from London

  • @languagenow Tu é usado mas não é "mainstream". Uso regional e restrito e muitas vezes errado. Quando errado, soa muito mal. Para um estrangeiro é bom desencorajar o uso de "tu". Exceto, claro, se ele tiver um interesse específico.

  • About the r in TV, soap operas, radio etc. the r is pronounced like h, I mean partir would sound pahtih and not parrtirr (like in poor ok, its also valid but not an accent a cult Brazilian would use, its mostly an hinterland accent, like the ones in the Australian Outback, for instance). So, to sound more neutral and cult one should say pahtih instead.

  • cade o "tu" heim ?
