Sou japonesa. Agora estudo portugues há um e seis meses. Já vi ele noutro canal. Ele estava a falar japoenês fluentemente lá. Impressionei-me a sua motivação. Queria aprender mais português!! :)
@@yurinakawabata8446 Muito bom. Eu notei seu português de Portugal quando escreveu "estava a falar" no português do Brasil "estava falando" é o mais comum.
I don’t agree. Languages don’t have to be only about communicating and delivering the message. It entirely depends on your own priorities. For me when somebody just focuses on communicating and understanding others and not working on their pronunciation is wearing a bad quality t-shirt. They can wear it and be protected from the sun but it doesn’t look nice and is uncomfortable. I’d rather choose a t-shirt with a nice pattern = work on communicating, understanding others and having very good pronunciation. If you don’t work on your pronunciation early on you create bad habits and it’s harder to correct your mistakes later. Making the same mistakes many times in language learning is not good. That’s how I see it :)
When I study languages, I try to learn the pronunciation as a high priority. My reasoning is that when you learn with the right accent/pronunciation, the words crystalize better in your head because there's a closer association with what you hear from native speakers and what is symbolized in memory. In effect, having an accent when you speak is similar to developing a new dialect. The disconnect between how you hear it when you speak and how it's pronounced normally will create a barrier to further learning it. When I set upon a language, I painstakingly record myself and play it back and try to get an accent as close as possible to the native.
@@MaximillianCallender It doesn't matter which priorities you have, you need to first learn how to communicate in the language, after you acquired basic proficiency, you can then focus on your pronunciation. Is just like learning how to walk before you start running.
Muito legal, eu acho que Steve e uma lenda de línguas com certeza. Grande abraços desde inverterá. Eu adoro isso canal também. Fica com Deus. Tchau tchau valeu valeu 😊
Português é muito fácil porque quem fala espanhol ou italiano aprende muito fácil. Agora pergunta pra ele se ele já aprendeu árabe. Eu faço aulas de árabe e é difícil demais a pronúncia com o sotaque.
His accent and manner of speaking is interesting. He speaks Portuguese with an American accent, but with a Spanish cadence. A really playful mixture of influences which makes him sound kind of like he's speaking Italian lol! He sounds like he'd be fun to have a conversation with, though. His Portuguese was really clear.
How is that possible, when he doesn't even speak English with an American accent? He was born in Sweden to Czech-German parents, grew up in Canada, spent years hitch-hiking around Europe and then about ten years in Japan... If you want to hear Portuguese with an American accent, check out Tim Explica, Chris Gringo or Dave from Caipira Gringo.
@@POLSKAdoBOJU To be honest, when I went onto his channel after this video, I realised he was Canadian. I generally have an issue telling the difference between the average (non Quebec) Canadian accent and American. Pertaining to where he was born, I had no idea that that was his story, so I learnt something today.
@@hiranom20 he's such an inspiration. One of the true polyglots out there - many on YT are fakes trying to make a quick buck. And what a colourful life he has led! Canadian accents are difficult to discern. Many sound similiar to some American accents.
No, he doesn't have an American Accent. Actually he barely has any foreign accent at all. His accent is practically equal to a native Brazilian. The only thing that gives him away is the fact he mixes Spanish vocabulary while speaking Portuguese, almost no grammar mistake at all (from the point of view of a day-to-day language usage, not academic usage) If he were to focus more on his Portuguese, he would quickly fix these minor issues and not even a native would be able to tell he is a foreigner.
I´m from Paraguay, a country that borders Brazil, meaning all people born here also acquires Portuguese through cartoons and the news. Not all Paraguayans speak Portuguese though, only those who were born in the city that borders the country. Funny fact: you would assume Brazilians living in the same region would speak Spanish, but that´s not the case. Only Paraguayans make the effort to speak Portuguese to communicate with Brazilians. No hard feelings.
7:57 até nativos cometem erros, especialmente quando estamos a maior parte do tempo com nossa mente inserida em outro idioma, a gente começa a misturar vocabulário, construções gramaticais e expressões linguísticas. Aqui a Virginia diz "fazer erros", provavelmente um pensamento falho advindo do inglês "make mistakes" que literalmente se traduz como "fazer erros", mas a expressão correta em PT-BR é "cometer erros" Vira e mexe eu misturo vocabulário, gramática e expressões dos idiomas que estudo dentro do Português.
Wow what a surprise!!! The legend himself!!! I really enjoyed this exchange as I haven’t heard Steve’s Portuguese that much until now. Thank you for this video :D
Steve mencionou algumas palavras que são bem diferentes entre o espanhol e o português. Eu fiz um vídeo sobre 10 dos verbos mais importantes que não têm nada a ver entre os dois idiomas: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qF1H7-Ov2JA.html
Adoro Steve, ele é uma pessoa muito simpática e persistente no processo de aprendizado de línguas:) Estou aprendendo espanhol e preciso esquecer o português para não dificultar o processo:D
No way!! a colaboração que nunca esperei! o canal q primeiro me ensinou português encontra meu guru da motivação! dos lados opostos do meu mundo de aprendizagem de línguas hahaha Gostei!
Normal.Português,espanhol e italiano são línguas muito similares.Já aprendi espanhol e agora começando a estudar italiano.Sempre mistura as 3 línguas porque também muitas palavras do italiano são iguais ao português e espanhol na escrita e alguma até na pronúncia.
Mr. Kauffman is absolutely a genius 💯👍🏻🤗. His language learning methods are useful, outstanding and wonderful. In my case, I'm fairly used to the English language, I can speak it well with no pressure and I'd love to express myself in English even better as I'd like it to be. I'm not fluent yet, though. Furthermore, I'd like to speak Portuguese because it's a pretty easy language to learn for Spanish or Italian speakers. I can speak it a little bit, though. On the other hand, I love learning English everyday on my own, and the other languages a little bit at least. I think that learning languages is a challenge, a game, a beautiful passion for me because anyone can learn any language if they're willing to put in the effort. I'd love to learn French because it's a beautiful language as well, although its pronunciation might be tricky on a certain level. Besides, I'd love to learn Italian, German, Turkish, Dutch, Russian and Ukrainian. All the languages I mentioned are my target languages so far. By the way, I think the Indo-European languages are the best options to getting involved and immersing yourself into the fascinating world of languages. Almost all the languages I want to work in are Indo-European with the exception of Turkish. I also think that Asian languages are quite complicated, confusing and boring to learn, unless I change my mind but I highly doubt that will happen. Finally, I'll need more suggestions, entertaining methods and good feedback on my language learning journey because I never think of giving up and there are no excuses to learn anything, whatever I like. Lastly, I'll keep going non-stop for any goal I have in mind. 🧡
@@randomworkings3600 tem vários canais no RU-vid de seus colegas que também aprenderam português ,como o Tim explica, o smalladvantagen e o Chris gringo . Se você ainda não acompanha ,vale a pena pois tem muita coisa boa por lá. Boa sorte nos seus estudos e quando tiver a oportunidade venha visitar o Brasil .
Sei que foi provavelmente nervosismo, mas temos que atentar para não oferecermos “um beijo“ a estranhos porque isso pode ser bem mal interpretado. Experiência própria! 😂😉🤭
Concordo com ele. Aprender ingles para mim foi mais simples do que espanhol pq nao consigo sei deixar o portugues de lado e aprender espanhol sem influencias dele.b
Pessoas lindas deste mundo que, sem necessidade, homenageiam as outras culturas. Muito obrigado a todos os que como este senhor se preocupam em ser agradáveis para com falantes de outras paragens!!
Eu também acho que o sotaque nao è muito importante quando voce està aprendendo uma lingua! Ambos portugues e espanhol tem muitas coisas em comum com a minha lingua (italiano) especialmente o portugues brasileiro (apesar da distancia geogràfica), tem vocais abertas, entao acho mais natural falar assim! Gostei deste video!
To a certain degree, It does matter which Portuguese you feel comfortable learning... Pronunciation plays a big part on learning languages. The Brazilian version is more opened as they speak, but the pronunciation to a lot of words can be a nightmare. You need a lot of patience and dedication to understand certain words and phrases. Portugal Portuguese is more closed spoken when they speak, but the pronunciation is the same as you would read words on paper.
I love how at the beginning he said 'pensava' but then changed to 'achava' and also he said 'no ha pasado' and then corrected himself 'não tenho pasado'. Really drives home his later confession about how he's mainly thinking in portunhol! This has been a fun watch!
Obrigado!!!! Gostei muito da conversa com Steve. conselho muito bom para continuar aprendendo português. E como ele diz, eu tenho que encontrar uma motivação
Hi! I'm french (and half spanish btw). I leanred a bit of brazilian potuguese as well and it's interesting to hear steve 's portuguse. It sounds very "english-spanish" speaking but i really really like his way of soing it. It's far from perfect BUT you can easily understand everything he says and to me that's EVERYTHING! just do it, practice, we are not expected to be perfect whatsoever
Impressionante como ele mesmo se corrige emendando a palavra certa logo após deixar escapar um termo em espanhol ("muy... muito", "aunque... ainda") ou no gênero errado ("país pequena... pequeno"). Ele tb tem bastante domínio do sotaque, não perceptível em boa tarte das frases.
No...200 milhões só no Brasil!!!...sempre vejo esse ranço de brasileiros que criticam o sotaque de estrangeiros em espanhol, por favor né!? Eles não obrigação nenhuma...nativos somos nós...vamos evoluir essa mentalidade mesquinha... quem critica são aqueles que nem um portunhol falam porque quem domina um outro idioma sabe que o sotaque é uma preocupação desnecessária.
Lo más difícil de aprender portugués. Esque se parece al español y te confundes pero es muy divertido y hermoso aprender portugués. O mais difícil de aprender português É que o português e o espanhol são línguas muito parecido então isso para mim é difícil kkkk eu não sei se eu falo bem português ou falo portunhol kkkkk 😸😸🇲🇽
@@YouAwakeYet ok isso é divertido kk Mas com calma e sentimento Algum dia você vá a falar bem espanhol. Como eu também vou a falar bem português.🤛🏽👌🏽🇲🇽🇧🇷😎👋🏽
@@brynsiordi6763 eu ja falo espanhol, é a minha lingua materna...mas olha a situação, já que sei falar português um pouco melhor, quando falo espanhol, tenho a tendência de pronunciar palavras em português kkk Todo me esta pasando arrevez jajaj
I am Brazilian I need to practice my English if you want to practice your Portuguese we can do it, you help me and I help you it's up to you, what do you think about it
Ele quase não tem sotaque. A coisa que mais entrega ele é justamente a mistura de vocabulário espanhol dentro do Português, mas o sotaque está longe de entregá-lo.
Não é português... É LPB_ (língua popular brasileira)! Os português não gostam que nós falamos que o nosso idioma é português, eles sentem-se muito ofendidos. Por isso, agora é (LPB). LÍNGUA POPULAR BRASILEIRA. GOSTOU?
The multiple meanings of Portuguese verbs and phrases like verbs dar and ficar drive me nuts with Isso é demais around 0:42 being a perfect example. When I first saw that I thought it meant that is too much but it means that's awesome which I thought was Isso é ótimo! I swear sometimes bit feels like Brazilians just invent words and phrases. Any courses that focus on common phrasal structures especially ones that different than English? Another point I disagree with this video if you're learning Portuguese it's better focus on one region whether it's Portugal or Brazil because the language quite different between those two countries and trying to learn both will just confuse most people. Just here in Brasil even slight changes pronunciation due to accent differences makes the language considerably harder to understand. While I like this video overall the problem with most polyglots is beside generally having higher IQs than most people they generally have a genetic knack for learning languages that most of us lack whether these videos want to admit it or not.
cool man from northamerica. i hate them because what their policy is doing to our planet however he was cool. im a polyglot too and speak spanish and italian and french. so next it brazillero😂😅
Se você tem um contato muito próximo com português e espanhol, chega um momento que os dois idiomas se tornam um só e você não sabe mais o que tá falando, um inferno kkk e se colocar um italiano no meio, aí lascou… pode tirar a roupa e sair correndo pelado
So wonderful to see my favorite language coaches together! Virginia's thoroughness and clarity coupled with interesting content has quickly opened up to me the Portuguese language. Steve is my motivator. I am 56 years old and Steve frequently makes it clear in his talks that it is not too late for me to learn another language. Thanks to both of you!
