The HARDEST verb to translate into Portuguese 

U are literally professor Leonard but instead of being an Angel of calculus u are an Angel of Brazilian Portuguese I swear u are so helpful. Wish u well and hope u are able to make more videos cause they are of phenomenal quality. U truly are a Saint! Great work!!!!!

I have learnt more from you than so many other places combined. You have a gift for this and are by far the best I’ve ever come across.

You are among the best language teachers i've seen on youtube, hope you get the views with time. Obrigado.

Very well explained. In the same way, but in reverse, 'ficar' also has several meanings

Great video. I didn’t realize how much we rely on “to get” until I started learning Portuguese. Like it feels like 1/4 of English just incorporates “get” and when you go to another language you need to find a good substitute.

Extremely helpful. While not easy, I "get" it. An overloaded word. I am sure someone could come with a better sentence that demonstrates: "Could you get eggs from the store while you get Eddie from school, as I got an idea for a new recipe and I got sick yesterday or i'd go myself". Anyway, since you are so good at explaining things plainly in ways native English speakers really can grasp, it would be great to teach us about the reverse versions of this, (overloaded) words in Portuguese that translate into many English words. Top of my list for that is the verb "DAR" . It has a ton of literal and idiomatic contexts. Anyway, this is giving me knew ways to approach expression. Thank.

That was so useful! I just started learning Brazilian Portuguese and was looking for "my kind of teacher". Found you! Subscribed! Obrigado :)

This is soooo helpful! Thank you!

Another great video 😊

Another Fantastic Video!

You are the holy grail of learning Brazilian Portuguese

cant get enough of these videos

Thank you so much for these videos man! They're really helping me with important concepts that most teachers don't focus on!!!

Este video e excelente, muito obrigada pelo seu trabalho!

I’ve been learning Portuguese for 2 years and can speak and understand it in a basic level. This channel is hands down the best learning tool on RU-vid! I wish I would have stumbled upon it sooner! Absolute gold!

Thanks man I "got" a lot out of this. Valeu!

The verb "get" is very flexible in English, but it is quite often used in informal situations. You could also say that, "I received an email", or many of the verbs such as I got here yesterday, you could also say "I arrived yesterday, in English, but in would be quite formal. Anyway, I have just found this channel, and have found this channel most useful, in describing the nuances in Portuguese, which don't exist in Spanish, and of course Portuguese/Brazilian pronunciation.

video is so good!!!

I depend on your videos for learning Portuguese. Thank you!

Way interesting

Wow! This video is a game changer... Thanks!

Adessso che ho scoperto questo canale, ogni tanto passero' per una lezione di portoghese

Fascinating. I wonder if this is more of a challenge for US learners? "To get" can sound ugly in British English - "gotten", even worse. I think we use it less and automatically try to avoid it in certain situations. I don't think my brain ever tries to translate it into any language - it naturally thinks of the idea and looks for that word. I'm writing this with jet-lag so may be talking nonsense.

This has been my second time watching this video and I know I'll be watching this video another 10 to 15 times until I understand it all

The word “get” and its many uses in English is similar to the verb “ficar” in Portuguese. I’m actually in Brasil right now and it has been QUITE a learning experience lol. I like to call these “catch all” verbs! 😅😅😅

An idea for a future video, could you explain when to use ‘pela’?

yes 💪

Boa tarde cara! Could you share with us your studying routine and how you learned Português and how long it took? 🙏🏼

Você videos e muito bom amigo! Mas eu have an question. Can is say "eu gosto" em vez de "me vê"? Bom dia! ✌🏽

Only after years of learning English, I noticed that also. Translating straight from my language often don't convey the intended meaning. I have to think like an English-speaking person. Reading books helped me with it the most. They didn't teach me that in school.

Ficar for get 🤯

For me "conhecer" and "saber" is the hardest for me. I don't know why. It shouldn't be. It's just one of those things that has been lingering and not fully clicking lol. But for this video, I usually just go with "conseguir" if I don't know which to use. I think I usually use TO GET correctly. But I also don't use it in many different ways so ... That would make sense..the most difficult thing all around, hands down is just listening compression. Portuguese is NOT easy for me as a first language to learn 😂

Got it.😂

Thank u for teaching my bf pt @bensztuka
