    For a minute there I thought I was the only one who thought this was way too weird to respond to.

    Yeah I know it was completely random and perverted. I literally wrote whatever came to my head that instant because I didn't want to give myself time to use words I already knew in portuguese.

    LoL (a lot!)

    Dude, promisse you wont never talk to a girl like you wrote this text!

    By the way, have you ever heard about "conjugar de verbos"?! Certainly it will help you (a lot!) to learn how to speak and write the portuguese verbs correctly.

    Excluding the first verb "estava", all the others ones!

    And for you all that is learning portuguese: please, do not believe in every tip, correction or explanation you 're seeing here. The best way to correct yourself is always consulting a dictionary ou grammar book.

    If anyone's trying to learn or brush up on skills I'd suggest Duolingo. It is free and pretty damn good. The app is pretty addicting.

    The cell phone app is very similar to the website. Your progress is tracked on both also. Duolingo sets up almost like a pyramid. You start at the top and work your way down. For instance you would have to finish the categories basic 1 and basic 2 before you could move onto animals. Once you learn a skill you can go onto the next skill. Duolingo will keep incorporating other stuff you learn as you go on. Your previous skills can weaken so it lets you know which one you can go back to practice. It's tough to explain but like I said the cell phone app is addicting and very easy to use.

    Too late for me. Pretty much all the software is targeted towards the Brazilian style also. I honestly don't see the point of learning the Portugal style. Why is it retarded anyways ?

    It's just what use would I have for learning that style of Portuguese? At least their is some economic reason to learn the Brazilian version. Obviously you are mad at Brazil today but I'm just curious.

    I'm far from a conspiracy theorist or complainer but i'm honestly convinced Brazilian Portuguese is made so poor people and foreigners can't master it. I like the language and I'm having an overall fun time learning it but god damn man... How many e words do we need that look the same? Fuk Naquela, naquele, Daquela, deste, desse, neste, and others. Plus Brazilians have to be the worst people in the world at understanding people who suck at their language.

    All Latin languages are more or less this, and it could be worse if Portuguese had directly evolved from classical Latin rather than from vulgar Latin.

    Be lucky your not learning Italian.

    But Portuguese really is a tough language to learn. And once you learn it, it continues to be really frustrating trying to understand the 20-some completely different accents and ways to talk from the different regions, especially the non educated or sheltered ones.

    Do you have a hard time understanding the Rio accent? Is the Sao Paolo accent easier for you? What did you do to practice listening when you were still fairly young in development? My listening is pretty dreadful and far behind my writing and reading. My speaking varies by the day.

    Rio for me was the easiest along with an educated Sao Paulo accent. Mainly because that is what you find on all news shows, radio shows, tv, and movies. Getting accustomed to listening is the hardest thing in learning Portuguese, even for cariocas and paulistas. I was a little extreme in my methods, as I listened to radio and podcasts every second in the car, while running, and falling asleep at night. It takes a while to get accustomed to the slang, intonation, and pace. This was my first stage of comprehension.

    I thought I was great until I started to meet other brazilians (educated ones) that were from Minas, the Nordeste, the South, etc. For a non native used to News/Radio portuguese and that from educated paulistas its a completely different experience. I got embarrased when I tried to talk to them and it was hard to understand.

    The next level of comprehension was actually going to Brazil and trying to understand non educated brazucas or ones that never left their home cities. Even for the state of Sao Paulo it's tough. Trying to understand "Mano Portugues" or a heavy Caipira accent and way of speaking is very humbling. It gets time to get used to.
