The Moment of Truth: Testing My Ability (Learning Portuguese part 2) 

Jo Franco Fiquei sorrindo o vídeo inteiro. Que incrível ver essa evolução dele - e sua ajuda foi maravilhosa!

Tenho certeza que ele nasceu brasileiro e só descobriu agora. Estou impressionada e inspirada em níveis que nunca tinha imaginado! Nath você ARRASOU CARA!

Eu fiquei vibrando com cada frase correta que ele falava! Muito, muito bom! ARRASOU!!! 😍👏🏼 vou aplicar todas as dicas pra aprender o alemão! Obrigada!!! ❤️

Great effort!

Ele fala muito bon

Oh damn 😂... That always catches me with English and English subtitles 😂

Eu também não entendi o porquê eu estava lendo as legendas. haha Achei que eu era a única.

😂😂😂

KKKKKKKKKK eu também

Morri hahahah

I was able to keep up with most of the conversation up until the end, specifically that part lol. What does it mean?

@@byronchamorro8826 it means something like "Holy Mary" (something the catolics would say on a pray). If im wrong, someone can correct me :D

Total!!!

Claramente

Real ksk

Pensei a mesma coisa HAHAHAH

SIIMMMMM HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAJ

This is it right here. This is exactly what I need to hear right now. Thank you so much!

Thanks man! This help us

Thanks this was something i was really nervous about but u just made me feel sooo confident about myself

You've just made me smile, thanks for that! every time I learn a new language I worry about my accent but that's a very nice way of putting it =)

This statement literally brought me to tears. ❤

no, he was kidding

Not he did NOT. Just like his other videos with similar titles. It is clickbait.

I agree!!!

facts

Verdadi migo.

That is really something to think about 🔥

This is one of my favourite quotes about languages!

This sentence is so powerful bro. Thank you.

Shae Reub i needed that

thanks for those words!

That is a fact !

I thank god for brazilian shitpost

do you have nothing to speak?

Haha, exactly. He said it so clearly, I had never been able to hear it before now. Now I will finally stop cursing every time I want to go to the beach.

Me too HAHAHAHAA

Eita! O (ei) do eita é parecido com o (ea) de beach...

No inglês australiano...

Yeah hahaha

esse rapaz ja falou espanhol mas nunca mencionou isso....acho que esse video é enganando...clickbait

@@baphometic8767 Na verdade, ele deixou bem claro nesse vídeo que ele entende e fala espanhol. Talvez, você não tenha entendido isso em inglês, mas ele falou sim.

@@hannahgeer2460 I'm just like her then, never had the chance to try for real my english so I'm always cringing to haven and beyond when talk hahaahahaha it's so funny and sad at the same time!

Yeah! and some natives think accents it's cute Simm e nativos até acham o podem achar sotaque fofo

Exatamente, falou tudo

eu dei tanta risada com essa parte hahaah

KKKKKKKKKKKKKK mais brasileiro impossível

mas él ya habla español e italiano, no sería técnicamente más fácil??

Concordo ele falou muito legal, parabéns pelo esforço. Mas cara, nao concordo que o portugues seja uma lingua dificil. Ele ja fala espanhol e italiano. O português do Brasil não é muito difícil quando voce ja conhece as bases do idioma. Não é como se fosse a primera língua que ele aprende.

@@DiiSkins Com certeza conhecer outras línguas de raiz latina o ajudou a aprender português mais rápido. Mas o português tem muitas regras diferentes das outras línguas de raiz latina, e mesmo sendo mais aparente na escrita dá pra perceber na fala dele onde essas dificuldades aparecem

Where's her channel?

@@tradingespanol5384 her channel is called Jo Franco. She also has another one from when her and Damon Dominique used to share a channel called Damonandjo

it's funny because you're going to talk with the Carioca accent kkkk good luck :)

It's about time, ain't it?

best situation to use that sentence :')

Verdade muda muito

Pura verdade 😂

Actually my ´´ugliest´´ voice is my Portuguese one XD

exactly lol

We're different people when you speaking another language. It's magical!!!!

eu ri kkkkkkk

Eu ri muito cara kkkkkkkkkkkk

kkkkkkkkk vou usar muito essa expressão depois desse vídeo

But you did super, super well! And you brought up interesting questions, instead of cliche stuff, which is always nice too! Also, don't get hung up on gender pronouns and so on, they come naturally, as well as the pronunciation (which is great for someone who learned it for a week, btw). It was an important reminder at the beginning of the video, for not giving up, but it's also important to note that you focused mainly on learning Portuguese for a burst of time, right? Most of us don't really get to do that, myself included, so of course results may vary; it's unfair to compare ourselves, given that fact (even otherwise: we all learn differently). Language learning is about consistency, of not really relying on immediate results as it is about believing that, over time, your results will accumulate into effective skill. I think it was Steve Kaufmann who said that you have to believe that what you're doing (in your language learning) matters, or else you'll always be thinking that "it's not worth it, no results are showing, why bother?". Change comes overtime, since learning a language is physiologically "sculpting" your brain. We don't train an entire day at the gym to gain muscle: that'd just destroy the muscles' fibers. "It gets easier. Every day it gets a little easier. But you gotta do it every day. That's the hard part. But it does get easier."

Graças aos podcasts da vida, conseguimos ouvir essa proeza kkkkkk.

her Brazilian accent in Portuguese is 👌

eu to rindo pra caralho do teu nome auahauhauhauha

@@SeaSerpentLevi o cara é um gênio slc hahahahahaha

E além disso o cara ainda é um poliglota kkkk

Quanto q ta custando a bike?

ele conseguiu aprender português em 7 dias poque a segunda língua materna de ele é o espanhol, então ficava fácil aprender português.

Exactly, like dude at least he's trying to learn a language and being honest about the proces.

@@mariasinia8949 They think that he makes people think that learning languages is easy when it isnt. But I mean, everyone who watches the channel is a grown up and I believe that no one is being deceived. We all know that he speaks 3 other languages and that he probably have a lot more of free time than all of us who have regular jobs, and that that's make it easier for him, it's not like he's selling classes saying that he will teach us how to learn languages in a week... He's just sharing something he does coming from his own perspective and possibilities.

Who hates him?

i don't think anybody actually hates HIM because of who he is at all. i love him and all his content very much, but I gotta admit it's just a little disingenuous and misleading to title your video "I learned Italian/Portuguese in 7 days" when, actually, the reality is that you "learned Italian/Portuguese FOR 7 days". He didn't come out of that week with a high enough level of fluency to be able to say that he's LEARNED it, especially in the italian one. then again, I appreciate his talent and hard work immensely and I think he's very inspirational. just... change the titles, mate.

@@Beatriz-hs8eu In addition to your points he is obviously gifted in his ability to learn languages. Others have other gifts and struggle with language. I have tried his strategies in a much more haphazard way and found them successful. However, it always breaks down for me at the point of the repetition/review needed. My bad, but I get so bored. Nathaniel manages to stay engaged somehow.

Wow that's super cool to hear, good for you!! :D

Hi, what tools do you use to practice a new language and meet new people. I was using the app Cake but people there don't take learning languages so seriously and search for almost everything but practicing languages.

@@chronos5457 I tried Tandem app. Everyone there is learning languages, so it's more of exchange (also expect to talks 50% of the time in your mother tongue)

I am italian If you want to talk

Wow, that’s amazing! Goals! 🙌🏼

spanish is really similar to portguese, but french is a lot diferent actually hauahuah. Im struggling at learning french, and im a portuguese speaker.

@@felipeluz9416 Shouldn't french pronunciation be easier for you though?

@@testingsomething5280 yes, but actually no. It's very different, I'm Brazilian and I'm struggling to learn french. I don't know the reason: Italian, Spanish and Portuguese are very similar, but French and Romanian looks like the lost children from Latin Family.

@@testingsomething5280 no, they have a lot of sounds that we dont have in portuguese and they dont pronunciate a lot of letters in a sentence. Thats even harder than learning english yet both french and portuguese r romantic languages

But I think he speaks italian as well, right? Italian is wayyyyy more easier to understand, I am pretty sure I can keep a conversation with an italian person even tough I cant speak italian

As a brazilian, I can say that portuguese can be quite tricky sometimes, especialy for people who dont have a romanic language as native. But I am sure you can improve and achieve the fluency faster than you think :D

Don't let people discourage you! (aliás, o correto a se escrever seria "grata", já que você é uma mulher)

If you need any help look for me here in São Paulo

Dude what the hell are you doing here. Don't you value your LIFE?

Hi Meg! I'm looking for a girl friend to practice english. Would you like to practice with each other? I live in Rio de Janeiro by the way, if you want to know what my accent is. 😊

This is the video us natives want to see! I would LOVE to watch and listen to his interpretation of Saudade.

O português realmente é muito lindo!!

Her energy it`s amazing!

Agora os brasileiros vão tomar conta do canal dele hahaha amei!

Puedes ayudarme con mi pronunciación en português

@@alexaparicio8408 eu posso se você quiser

Wow. Instead of showing start telling. I also needed this. Thank u!

@@cj123485 ???

hey i'm thinking about the same question as u do. cuz for me fashion content is so hard to be combined with story telling. i feel like 3 act story telling is easier in vlogs or those 30 days challenges thou. u have any thoughts about storytelling with combining with the business and niche side of youtube thou? cuz storytelling is so particular in film.

e pq ele ja sabe um pouco de italiano e espanhol, deve ter ajudado bastante

​@@viniciusnunes1698 a lingua materna dele na real é espanhol né, então dali já é um ponta pé do caramba kkk

Se ele já manjava uma língua com base no latim isso já ajuda ele a falar português. É meio caminho andando

@@luizfernandes7584 Apesar que ele explica no primeiro video que o espanhol bagunçou a aprendizagem dele, por causa dos diferentes som. Mas que deve ter ajudado ele na compreensão isso ajudou, sem falar que o italiano também ajudou nessa parte de compreensão dele...

ele já sabia italiano como portugues e italiano vieram do latin ficou mais facil pra ele....... igual nos brasileiros tentando aprender espanhol é mais facil não é?

So true. I also think it's the fear of being laughed at. Or the method you are using scorned by native speakers. Or you aren't being taught the real language in use but the textbook variety and you always sounds stilted. Then there are those cultures which operate on shaming as pedagogy. When I started to learn Japanese that was the rule I wrote on the front page of my notes: I will not learn shame. (I haven't. Though I haven't learned Japanese either--just a few useful phrases.)

I was like that when I was learning math with 20 years, get rid of that shame helped me so much!

As a Brazilian my view is that she's actually slowing her speech down a bit But maybe she just speaks slowly by default, who knows

@@marvit_bot her accent is from Rio de Janeiro for sure, I speak slower than that hah

@@heaverie sotaque carioca , com certeza !!

Shes good, but shes brazilian, even tough she moved out to us when se was really young and thats why she have a perfect brazilian accent from someone from Rio, still a native speak can get she doesnt live in Brazil.

@@jutra4502 when she is in Brazil, after some months there is no difference, but she was shooted in Rio tabela, so she fears going to Brazil.

Szabina Kalocsa hello! Are you from any Slavic country? I’m trying to learn polish and would like to know how hard it was transitioning from a Slavic language to a Latin language

@@suh0 No, I'm from Hungary. Unfortunately I don't speak any slavic language, but I find them really hard 😀

@@suh0 hi Úrsula, I'm Polish let's connect somehow and chat! I'm Karolciiaxx on Instagram

Szabina Kalocsa very cool! I know a lot of metal bands from Hungary, your country really know how to do this! I have a question, Magyar is equal to say Hungarian?

Me too, It's amazing what he did. And I don't know if my sentence it's correct, so I'm sorry for my mistakes, because I'm Brazilian lol

So cool!

Hi Bobby, genuine question here: Why do you think the British curriculum at school is rubbish? (I'm at a point of questioning our entire school system)

Don’t worry American school system is worse

@@OneBiteoftheCherry Oh dear, well here we go... Most countries have some form of national curriculum (Britain is one of them). But they vary in terms of prescription, (that is to say, how rigidly the teachers have to stick to what is provided) and formation (whether or not there was any democratic input in the creation of the curriculum, be it from teachers or education specialists). The British NC (national curriculum) still follows a narrowly prescribed system put mostly in place by 1 man, Michael Gove. He alienated his panel of curriculum experts by disregarding their advice, leading to their resignation, forming a dictatorship over British education while holding a powerful seat in the government. I want to point out at this point that Gove had quite an amity with Corporate Education giant PEARSON. It is normal to begin with broad educational aims (social, cultural, ethical etc) giving a sense of direction to what follows, and also to consider the aims of subjects. National Curriculum 2019 (NC19) has just two paragraphs 2.1 and 3.1, both extremely vague (‘spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development’ ; ‘prepares pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life’; ‘essential knowledge that they need to be educated citizens’ ‘appreciation of human creativity and achievement’). THAT IS ALL IT SAYS in a 800 page curriculum. We have disregarded any subject outside the big 3 ENGLISH, MATHS and SCIENCE. NC19 is dominated by 3 subjects English, Maths and Science - or rather 2½ since spoken English is almost absent. This can be seen in the pages for each: English 87, Maths 45, Science 32, Computing 2, Geography 3, MFL 1 (that is all languages) etc. Within English, spoken language has 2 pages, reading and writing 20 plus 25 for spelling and 18 pages of grammar and terminology. Drama has one paragraph, modern media has disappeared. Now this would be all well and good if the NC like in other countries was only a guideline, unfortunately we as british teachers have to stick to it like glue else be reprimanded and our students fall behind because they have to be taught to the exam. Basically students learn the answers to an exam, and never learn fundamentals of a subject. This inflates the national education score making our kids look intelligent understanding one or 2 high level topics within a subject. BUT they dont understand the basics meaning that they can never improve. Not only do we not teach the basics but we teach things (according to our curriculum) that are seriously incorrect. E.G. Me llamo Bobby = My name is Bobby only.... thats wrong... That is "I call myself Bobby" but we're not allowed to teach that, because if that's the answer they put in the exam they are marked down..... This happens across the board. I can give more but I need to take a deep breathe first. I hope this is an OK start to the answer you're looking for. P.s. look up last week tonight "Pearson" that's a whole other kettle of fish that both the US and UK have to face in education, never has so much corruption come between the ability for young and older minds to gain knowledge.

I want to just point out that anyone could complain about a system that is in place, but we have to remember that our biggest power is our ability to teach ourselves, I feel that is vital in a society where the things we may want to do in future may not even exist right now. Understanding the skills for learning, having a healthy mindset and being able to self motivate are the strongest abilities we can have in our arsenal. That's what I hope to help people develop as a teacher in my life time.

I wanna learn Japanese as well... Been trying for a while but the writing and reading is so hard... Planning on going full talking first and slide in reading den writing later

Don't give up on Japanese. Its hard and annoying at times. Try to do something everyday (even if its 1 minute) and you will get there. Consistency in language learning is really important! Good Luck!

@@zerohbeat I appreciate the words 🙇‍♂️ ... Thank you

Lol uff claro, tão valorizada! 🙄🙄

Aquilo não é a nossa língua... Não desvalorizando o trabalho que ele está a fazer, que é ótimo!! A nossa língua é mais difícil de aprender, penso!

@@miguelangelo5103 Oh, está bem, mas a maneira de falar dele é fantástica após apenas 7 dias. Eu tenho andado a aprender espanhol há alguns meses e ainda não falo tão bem como ele fala português.

🇧🇷

@@miguelangelo5103 se você entende qual é o problema? Porque tem que fazer comentários desmerecendo uma lingua só pelo fato de ser português brasileiro? Me explica qual a necessidade? Eu não vejo esse tipo de comentário sobre o inglês americano por exemplo seu xenofobismo é seletivo.

I don’t think it is the hardest language,although each language has its easiest parts and then its hardest parts. However, I adore this language so much😍.

It really isn’t considered a difficult language unless maybe you’re from Asia

Austin Mathew bonne chance

Moi aussi! I'm working on my French too on my own, definitely not easy but very rewarding! Good luck :)

j’étudie le français depuis 7 mois ou plus (je pense) mais mon français est mal encore. je pense toujours avec la grammaire anglais (même l’anglais c’est pas ma langue maternelle) quand je parle français ce qui est faux 🤦🏻 excusez-moi. je sais pas si mon français est bien ou mal parce que je parle jamais avec quelqu’un. la raison que j’étudie le français car je suis étudiant de la littérature française. au fait, s’il y a les français ici, veuillez corriger mon français! merci!

É Incrívelmente inspirador, ele vai aprender daqui alguns mês!

Facilita pq ele já conhece a maioria das línguas latinas

Adeniyi Salami very true! I’ve also following his videos for a while and he’s a great guy! Very dedicated indeed, awesome dude!

Yeah it was pretty good for one week. He learned a lot more than you would in traditional learning.

eu fiquei de cara ....ele fpi muito bem. parece um carioca hahahaha

Alguem ensina pra o nathaniel o que cancelado significa pra ele acompanhar nossos memes

@@portaljulia n é meme, é praga 🤮

Também percebi isso kkk, acho que os gringos não entenderiam pq ele falou "beauty" naquele momento.

Na vdd, está errado mesmo. Nesse contexto, beleza não significa Beauty, mas sim okay, alright. Palavras mudam de significado dependendo do contexto.

Um bando de desocupado que gostam de ver os outros se ferrando

DeDucFlo hahaha português do portugual e do brasil são quase duas línguas diferentes ne? Acho português do brasil mais facil de entender na fala

Eu sou brasileira, tenho o português como língua materna e também tenho dificuldade de entender o que os portugueses falam as vezes hahhahah

Não sei como é o seu falar mas a sua escrita é muito boa!

Mas voce ja escreve muito bem!!! Du kannst dich gerne bei mir melden, falls du mehr Portugiesisch sprechen willst :) Wahnsinn wie gut du die Sätze bildest... Parabens!

Eu sou português e acho que isso deve ser porque o português do Brasil é mais aberto e tem mais ritmo. No outro sentido, eu acho que os portugueses compreendem muito bem os brasileiros. Talvez seja das novelas da globo 😜👍

Muitu bem maestra!

Acho que ela estava pensando em italiano, na verdade, já que ela sabe falar italiano e pra eles a pergunta é exatamente igual: in che senso?

I LOVE this!!!

Margo Theory are you studying it by yourself ?

What is the app and would you recommend it after using it ?

- Dark-Sky - It’s called Hello Talk, and I’m in the process of exploring it now. As of now I’ve seen there is a free version and a VIP version that costs money, like many other apps are structured. I put in all my info and proficiency level, and they gave me a long list of other members who are studying Italian/English. There is also a convo robot that you can start off with to ease you into the process. This is as far as I’ve gotten because I’ve felt like I needed to at least have decent level of fundamentals before I jump into conversation, but that’s kind of hard to measure, so I’m going to continue to check it out. But yea, I don’t have a recommendation for it yet as I’m just now digging into it, but it is something you can definitely explore to see if it meets up with your needs. :)

Mariangela Cafagna I am! Yes.

Iam learning italian too can we help each others and talk in italian ?

Catherine Prince-St-Antoine thanks boo 💜

Hahahahahahaha nós chora mas nós ri

eu tbm pensei isso KAKSKAKSKKAKSKAKS

KKKKKKKKKKK

Não perca a sua motivação, continue aprendendo Português. Eu estou aprendendo Francês... Já falo Inglês também.

@@adeniyisalami9416 ive seen your comment thousands of times. why??

Anyone can do this, that's the whole point of the video.

Lingua Franca I subscribed to your channel!

I find it really hard to learn languages but I’m going to try so I can communicate with my family in Italy

@@bliss7166 That's great Lara! You'll see how great it'll be even just with a little of knowledge of the language :D

Beleza significa beauty

Informally, yes. And it's usually at the end of phrases.

@@afonsoferreira2652 Tradução literal sim, no contexto significa "ok"

Go for it man... I'll pick up Japanese again as well

That's EXACTLY how i feel! My mother language is portuguese and i learned english really early! And now with french i feel like i won't ever learn the way i did with english :( but let's try keeping it up!

Same thing for Mee Puedes hacerlo 💪🏻

Vamooos💖 you can do it!

Que bueno Lewis! Mucha suerte amigo!

Lewis what do u speak?

@@lepeangel3700 just english and french (so far :P)

Caio Henrique italiano aprendió también primero en una semana. las tres lenguas son muy similares.

Esforço e dedicação

Por já saber espanhol e italiano, foi mais fácil. Isso que é legal em aprender várias línguas: a cada língua nova aprendida, a próxima língua fica mais fácil de aprender.

acho que por serem línguas relacionadas com as que ele já conhecia ficou menos difícil, quando ele fizer um vídeo "aprendi MANDARIM" em 7 dias" aí sim eu vou ficar surpreso kkkkkk
