    "Similaridades" was actually correct. Your Portuguese is remarkable, one of the most natural accents I've seen.
  • Eu sou brasileira e nem sei bem o porquê que escolhi esse vídeo para assistir (acho que por curiosidade de ver seus métodos de aprender português), mas não me arrependo. Você é muito simpática e seu nível de português é surpreendente, parabéns! Adorei seu gosto musical, recomendo também os cantores Cazuza, Djavan, a banda Legião Urbana e Rita Lee. E, também, encontrei no seu canal uma boa de melhorar o meu inglês ao mesmo tempo. ☺🤝🏽
  • @quantus5875
    Another tip. I love all the Brazilians writing their comments in Portugues. Learning so much by reading your comments -- as I can just hit the translate button in YouTube when I don't know a word. Obrigado Brasileiros!! I learned about 10 new words from reading the comments. 😊
  • @Xarmutinha
    I dont know why people dont appreciate Portuguese like the rest of the romance languages. Its not just Spanish French and Italian.... Enfim...beijos muitos da Gréciaaaaa pra genteee
  • It's awesome to see an American native learning my mother language🇧🇷
  • @marcosvfg100
    I'm actually doing reverse language learning right now. I'm Brazilian and I'm watching a video of you talking to Americans about learning Portuguese. It's crazy, but it really helps to understand cultural differences better.
  • A língua portuguesa é a coisa mais linda, né? Sou cubana, morando nos EUA. Aprendi português sozinha, oseja, por conta propria. O português é uma língua linda, sexy e maravilhosa. Eu me apaixonei pela cultura brasileira, pela música, pela comida. Meu maior sonho é viajar para o Brasil um dia e conhecer o Brasil todo. Eu amei esse video aqui. Obrigada pelas dicas. Beijosss😘😘😘
  • @zowiephoebe
    The first time I was interested in Brazilian Portuguese was when I heard the song "Fico Assim Sem Você" played in the end credits of the movie TURISTAS. It was a very pleasant song by Adriana Partimpim :)
  • @lifewitholga_
    So my experience with Brazilians has always been positive! Such warm, loving and affectionate ppl. I love their food, music and language. The Brazilians who are Christians are so devoted and love the Lord. The women I’ve met are very pretty too.
  • @u3u36
    Você tem que assistir "O auto da compadecida", é um clássico, todo mundo ama no Brasil, o que pode dificultar é que no filme tem um sotaque forte.
  • Hey, so many comments in Portuguese, I have no idea what those people said 😄Guess they are admiring your video 😂 Anyway, thank you for the tips and for sharing your experience, I think it would help English learners, too 👍😉
  • @zedy33
    I’m married to a Brazilian woman and we are spending a few months here in Brazil and I just caught onto wanting to master Portuguese. This is so helpful and I can’t wait to explore the resources!!
  • @zhangtrain
    I'm an American living in Rio for the summer, and I am new on the Brazilian Portuguese journey. I found this video muito helpful...subscribed!
  • @paullorosa_
    Sou de Mocambique e deixa dizer que teu portugues ta muito bom, pode se comunicar perfeitamente com os do portugues africano
  • Thanks for the tips! I've moved to Brazil from Australia and desperately needed some guidance to get me to some level of conversation. You'd think it would be easy but everyone wants to practice their English with me :D
  • @deliohector
    It's funny cuz I used that backwards learning strategy with your podcasts. Portuguese is my mother tongue, so I used it to learn English.
  • Como é bom ver que existem muitas pessoas interessadas em aprender português. Eu sou brasileiro ainda engatinhando no inglês.
