    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.

  • What is the best method for verbs?
    Best answer

    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
