is it too late to start participating in this forum?
i want to learn more portuguese.


Of course it's not too late.
But do you speak some Portuguese already? If so, the first lessons may be too easy for you. In that case (only if you find them really easy), you can skip some.


I only know a few words... and a few phrases.. but that is it. my boyfriend speaks it.. and so I am trying to learn portuguese. He has taught me a little bit, but that is it.


Ok, you're welcome to join us. razz
I would suggest you start from lesson 1, do the exercises, and take some time (about a couple of days) before moving forward. My feedbacks on the exercises usually come pretty fast.

I guess I'll get started on this!

I've been meaning to, but I've been busy lately.

Maybe I'll do a lesson a day or something.

(and I speak Spanish, so this is pretty easy so far biggrin )

Lesson 1

1. um tio feio
2. umas gatas estranhas
3. o vendedor pequeno
4. os meninos gordos
5. umas alunas bonitas
6. a cadeira nova
7. um menino jovem
8. as meninas feias
9. uma vendedora gorda
10. uns martelo amarelo
11. a amiga velha
12. um diretor jovem
13. o profesor gordo
14. uns tios velhos
15. o martelo grande
16. um aluno jovem
17. a diretora bonita
18. uns meninos estranhos
19. o menino magro

Hey, welcome!

Very good, only one mistake, which was probably an accident:
10. uns martelo amarelo

It should be "uns martelos amarelos" ou "um martelo amarelo".

I'd say 1 lesson a day is pretty fast, but if you know Spanish and it's too easy, that's not a problem. But I'm sure it'll get harder on further lessons. 3nodding

I didn't mean you rushed through each lesson (I don't know that), but you did two lessons in a single day. There's really no point in finishing the course as soon as possible, because it would only make you forget what you learned faster. 3nodding

Ack! Yeah, that was a mistake. biggrin

And I'll definitely slow down if/when it gets harder.

I didn't RUSH rush but I could have spent more time absorbing the info.

do you teach classes or something? you really put together great lesson plans. the reason I'm so interested in learning is my bf of three years is Brasilian and he wants to take me to brasil to meet his family, I was trying to speak to him (my pronounciation is awful!) but he was amazed at what I knew. He tried teaching me before but he sucks as a teacher haha. anyway I'm loving that you put together this course I'll get to doing the next lesson soon!

Lesson 2

Portuguese to English
The women are pretty.
The book is blue.
The little boys are sick.
The house is clean.
The young actor is American.
We are happy.
I am tired.
You are married.
They (f.) are Brazilian.
You (pl.) are dirty.

English to Portuguese
O martelo 頶elho.
As cadeiras est㯠sujas.
Eu estou feliz.
Voc꠩ feio.
O aluno estᠴriste.
Os professores velhos s㯠americanos.
Voc꠳㯠bonita.
Os livros s㯠azules.
Os gatos s㯠gordos.
O diretor estᠤoente.


(helpful note: You spelled brasileiro once in this lesson as "brasilieiro"! It's in the part where you listed the vocabulary)


Thanks for the correction!
I won't edit it now because the Gaia text box is turning accents to squares (as you can see in this quote), so it would completely screw all the format of the lesson.

Again, very good. You made one mistake on:
"Você são bonita"
which should be "você é bonita" ou "vocês são bonitas".

And the plural of azul is azuis, but that was my mistake. 3nodding
