    I learnt Brazilian Portuguese In the South of Brazil. I personally find the accent from the South is very Spanish influenced, and has a clearer tone, compared to the Portuguese further North, like in Rio. Portuguese from Portugal has a very Germanic influence, with a gutteral sound in my opinion.

  • Dear students, in your learning experience, do you confound Italian with Portugues?
    Category ImagePortugueseSimona BSimona B

    Mixing Italian with Portuguese is very common. The 2 languages are similar and it happens that in the process of learning some words are confused. As an Italian Tutor speaking Portuguese, I am teaching a technique to avoid doing these mistakes. Try my method to learn Italian if you are Portuguese, you will be surprised!

    Brazilian (native brazilian portuguese), PhD in Architecture, also speaks English and Spanish.

    As a Brazilian, of course not. But I had this problem when studied spanish and italian. So I decided to focus on spanish first. When I have mastered Spanish well, so I go back to Italian. These three languages are derivated from latin. As well as romanian and french. But these two ones are more different.

    verbs in portuguese end with AR, ER, or IR --> FALAR , BEBER, ABRIR so to conjugate them you take out the end AR, ER, or IR and put this terminations for past and present tense: EU FAL(EI) // EU FAL(O) // EU BEB(I) // EU BEB(O) EU ABR(I) // EU ABR(O) verbs for YOU - VOCÊ have a different ending, so I suggest you to find the website boralabrodi dot com on google and take a look at the videos about verbs
