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.

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

@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.

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.
