Acho que a combinação de vocês dois é perfeita. Como estudante da língua portuguesa, nunca posso aspirar a soar como o Rui, mas um companheiro canuck como o Joel está ao alcance.
Thank you so much, guys! you are fantastic! make everything much easier! I'm learning Portuguese and there is a lot of confusion with the Brazilian accent, which for some it is much easier when it comes to conjugations. Thank you so much for your work, please keep these videos always simple and fun!😍
Guys, thank you a lot for this video! I've just started to learn European Portuguese, and it's very hard to find anything descent on the topic! I'm soooooo happy I've found you! 😊
Thank you so much and welcome to the party! Check our 5000 words video. It’s a bit long in the tooth but it’s one that we are most proud of for how much it has helped people at all stages of learning 🥰
Thank y'all so much for these videos! My partner and I live in South Korea, but two years ago we visited Portugal (Lisbon, Porto, Sintra) and absolutely fell in love! We finally found a teacher in Seoul that teaches European Portguese (native Korean, but studied in Lisbon), so it's great to have these videos with a native Portuguese speaker as a supplement. Unfortunately, not many Portuguese people here in South Korea (although we have had the pleasure of meeting some Brazilians), but we can't wait to return to Portugal when everyone can travel more freely and explore the country even more! Thank y'all once again and wish you two all the best!
Thanks for the kind words, Cameron, glad you like! Hope you can make it to Portugal soon, and it’s a pleasure to have you with us :) all the best to you both and see you soon!
Just discovered your platform and I am LIVING for it! Wonderful! And seeing your extended family makes it all the more wonderful! Cannot wait to visit!
Thank you Joel and Rui for creating this valuable content. I have always been adamant about the difference between European and Brazilian Portuguese. My ancestors are from the Azores and speak European Portuguese. Unfortunately my father didn't want his children to speak Portuguese because my mother doesn't. Watching your videos has given me the incentive to learn the language of my ancestors...Thank you!
Fun fact, in old Portuguese "ch" used to be pronounced as in English "tsh". "Sh" sound would be represented unequily by "x" (as it sounds like in words like "xaile", "xadrez"). But eventually "ch" become "sh" and "x" gained multiple other possible pronunciations.
Thanks a million Rui and Joel.This is the seventh time that I am going through this video on Consonants and I find it extremely helpful. God bless you. Muito obrigada. 👌🏾👌🏾👏🙏
Travailler en équipe comme vous faites est sage et donne de bons résultats (à mon avis); en plus, ça rend toute l’affaire plus le-fonne. On apprend en même temps l’anglais et le portugais avec vous deux. J’avais appris un peu de portugais brésilien longtemps passé mais asteur il me semble que la variation européenne pourrait être plus simple ayant plus de similarités avec le français. Qui sait, un jour je risque d’être capable de même écrire « em português »? Merci pour votre vidéo! (Quel bébé adorable!)
S will have a true S sound if it's the middle of a word and it's preceded by any consonant as well (we can see the "double ss" as an extension of these actually, because there you have an S after a consonant which also happens to be an s). Other examples beyond the double S: consoante, cansar, senso, arsénio, Elsa.
Actually "n" will be a cue for nasalasing the previous vowel everytime it's at the end of a syllable. Basically, it's the same of saying, everytime it's followed by any consonant (except H, because there it is representing the "nh" sound). Ex: "concreto", "condição", "confusão", "cansar"... Some rules regarding N, which are useful for spelling, not so much reading, is N will never be at the end of a word, nor it will be before a "b" or a "p". In those cases you must use an M (in those cases it will mean exactly the same an N there would: nasaling the previous vowel, but Portuguese spelling rules dictate an M is used in these situations, and it does not have exceptions, besides maybe non adapted loanwords).
Love you guys! Your videos have been super-helpful on my journey to learn Português. And it was awesome to see your vids on TAP during my latest flight to Lisboa :)
Eu sou português e nāo pronuncio o R igual ao Rui Ele pronuncia os R puxando pla garganta eu pronuncio com a lingua enrolada no céu da boca como a maioria dos portugueses pronunciam Muito bom estes videos
muito obrigado pelos seus vídeos. há mais um caso do R quanto fica entre a palavra e antes do N, parece que se pronúcia com o RR, não é? por examplo, o enrolar. não falo bem português, desculpem.🤣
Adoro este canal! Por acaso, acho que o professor português (não sei o nome, peço desculpa!) tende a pronunciar as consoantes com um som mais "carregado" do que eu. Por exemplo, eu digo "dhedho" e "amigho" (fazendo menção aos sons respectivos: digo de forma mais suave e com a língua um pouco mais entre os dentes (dh) e sem fechar/contrair tanto a garganta (gh), por assim "escrever") em vez de "ddeddo" e "amiggo" (com a língua bem encostada contra a parte posterior dos dentes). Bem sei que não é assim que se representam os sons em alfabeto fonético, mas acho que entendem aonde quero chegar lol.
Rui! Está logo no início do vídeo. Que disparate o meu! Continuem o ÓPTIMO trabalho! Já recomendei o vosso canal a vários amigos que querem aprender português!
thanks for nice video! One feedback thought - why do you explain C + e/i and C + a/o/u, then jump to the special c with cedilha and then jump back to c + h ... I would prefer all cases of c pronunciation in one series :) It is a little thing, but it really helps to make things more consistent. Would bvew cool to follow this logic everywhere. Anyway thanks!
Funny fact: the name Rui as it sounds in european portuguese sounds exactly like russian most popular swear word "хуй" (khuy), which means penis. For example: "poshyol na khuy" means "fuck off" (literally "go on penis").
Existem as duas grafias, a letra y nem sequer era uma letra do alfabeto português logo a grafia preferencial era "ioga", a adaptação de yoga para português.
@@PracticePortuguese Sorry, Joe, but the Spanish ll just sounds like y these days. A better reference is the Catalan ll. A palavra catalã “filla” pronuncia-se igual à palavra portuguesa “filha.”
*LH* : O Rui says "You have to put a little bit more saliva in there". Really? Are you sure more saliva in "mulher" is "melhor"? (NOT a joke. I'm not that kind of man! ;) ) Even "bacalhau" doesn't need more saliva, according to linguee.pt at least...
16:28/19:52 to 16:29/19:52 "Sex!" Well, in classical Latin "Sex" is the number 6! 1: Unus,2: Duo, 3: Tres, 4: Quatuor, 5: Quinque, 6: SEX! Is 6 or SEX the 6th Thing to be Done, before SLEEP? But it's the Last Thing DONE on the BED, before SLEEP, with your Partner!
