u/peterbuns · 2 pointsr/Portuguese

I'll try not to make this too long, but I took a semester each year of high school and a few in college (though these were quite slow moving and didn't help nearly as much as I'd wished), but I made the most progress when I began studying on my own and working my first retail job in college, where I had to speak with a lot of the customers in Spanish. Other things that helped me get up to the level of being able to have normal conversations in Spanish (in no particular order):

-Interpreting my own train of thought into Spanish (e.g. "Hmm, what do I need to do today?" = "Hmm, que necesito hacer hoy?") or pretending I'm an interpreter anytime I heard anyone else talking, whether in person or the news anchor on t.v. (this helps you think faster).

-Find something you like and find how you can relate it to the language. I'm a big film buff, so I'd watch films with Spanish subtitles. I like being able to see the words and you can see how a lot of everyday words and phrases are translated to Spanish. You can use a notebook, at first, to write down some of the phrases to practice later, but you can also use it just as a passive method of practice, when you don't want to do straight studying. Watching interviews on YouTube with subtitles is a good method, too, (maybe even a little easier at first), as people seem to talk a little more slowly, taking more pauses. It's another good way to help pick up new words or phrases.

-Get a frequency dictionary. I only found out about them when I started learning Portuguese, but get one for Spanish. Here's a good one. It cites studies showing that something like 85% of everyday speech is comprised of only about a thousand words (like numbers, days of the week, months, verbs (like eat, sleep, work, etc.), so it can help you get the most useful vocab in the shortest amount of time. https://www.amazon.com/Frequency-Dictionary-Spanish-Vocabulary-Dictionaries/dp/0415334292

-Change your phone and social media settings to be in Spanish. That will help you passively learn new words, as you'll just keep seeing them over and over.

-Find music you like in Spanish and then look up the lyrics and what they mean. You'll be able to remember them more easily because of their connection to the music.

-Download an app on your phone for chatting with other people in your target language. I used one called HelloTalk, which allowed you to send instant messages between you and a native speaker of your target language that is learning your language. It was good for just some consistent practice.

As mentioned a few times above, try to turn as much of your passive life into opportunities to learn, and then it won't feel as much like work. So movies with subtitles, only Spanish-language music/radio/podcasts in the car, electronics' settings in Spanish, etc., all help out a lot over time.

Also, after you've gotten a decent level of understanding, I'd recommend traveling to a Spanish-speaking country. Your life will be changed by the connections you're able to make and the friends you acquire. That's worth it by itself. Then there are other benefits, like just having a new perspective on life, plus it can open a lot of employment opportunities.

Anyway, I hope some of that helps you on your journey.

Hello,

If you consider paying for classes, then you may be interested in the online course by Instituto Camões directed at Spanish Speakers:

Portugués para Hispanohablantes, Nivel A1/A2

http://www.instituto-camoes.pt/activity/centro-virtual/portugues-para-estrangeiros/15480-portugues-para-hispanohablantes-nivel-a1-a2

Other than that, check the list below, for many (European) Portuguese resources.

Audio Courses

Michel Thomas uses European Portuguese.

http://www.michelthomas.com/learn-portuguese.php

The focus is spoken language, and I really like their teaching methods. Note the very first lesson uses a beep to remind you to pause and answer questions yourself. It is annoying in my opinion, but they stop doing it after the first lesson.

Written Courses

(Note the books below are in Portuguese! If you're a beginner then this is only good if you have a tutor. If you're intermediate level books then it should work too. There is a book in English further down below)

The orthography of Portuguese changed recently (the so called AO90 orthographic agreement). So you should make sure written material complies with the new system.

This is the section of Portuguese for Foreigners in Wook, a really nice online bookstore in Portugal.

http://m.wook.pt/home/index?restricts=8066x5839x18010x18163

This one makes it explicit that it follows the new orthographic agreement so it's a very safe bet.

http://wook.pt/ficha?id=11352870

These also follow the orthographic agreement. Learning book plus exercises. Looks quite nice.

http://wook.pt/ficha?id=196038
http://wook.pt/ficha?id=222484



The FNAC bookstore in Portugal also has quite a few. This collection seems pretty good. They comply with the new orthography. Made at the university of Lisbon.

http://www.fnac.pt/Aprender-Portugues-1-Nivel-A1-A2-Manual-do-Aluno-Varios/a620488

http://www.fnac.pt/Aprender-Portugues-1-Nivel-A1-A2-Caderno-de-Exercicios-Varios/a623474

Those are the level 1 learning and exercise books. You can find the reminder on the website. Look for the ones with similar covers:

Music

One way to immerse yourself in the language is listening to music. Even if you don't understand it, you get used to the sounds and pick a word here and there.

You can also read the lyrics and once you know the lyrics every time you listen to the song you're reinforcing those words. (Keeping in mind music lyrics are often poetic and don't follow the usual rules of grammar)

For Portuguese bands check out:

There's also the music discovery sub for music all Portuguese speaking countries:

u/troy_civ · 2 pointsr/Portuguese

I am learning portuguese for almost two years now.
Lots of resources have already been mentioned here. You can also find some great lists here in the sub (e.g. here for Br-Pt or here for european Pt)

As you are already a language learner, I guess it's needless to say that making studying a habit for every day is key.

However, as some users here already reported, it sometimes can get overwhelming by all these resources that are available. So in order to get started I would recommend to find 3 or 4 tools to use on a regular basis and stick to them. I myself made the mistake to try out to many services/apps/tools in the beginning and also switched between them way too often.

That being said, in my opinion you need tools for the following tasks in order to learn portuguese:

1: Sound

Depending what you mother tongue is you might have difficulties to distinguish between "ã" and "ão" or to properly reproduce the "ão" or "nha" sound. Minimal pairs can help here. You can make them yourself for Anki or use some premade deck or a website that provides this functionality. I remember that /u/pedrosantos16 made a minimal pair collection on his website www.european-portuguese.info , but don't know whether he included the audio already. The Podcast Tá falado is great for sound and pronunciation, too. If you find some youtube videos that focus on sounds you can use those as well. After very short time you should be comfortable with the sounds of portuguese you you can simply drop the minimal pair exercises here.

2. Vocabulary

For obvious reasons. Focus on nouns and verbs (some verbs are beasts as they have a trillion different use cases). I use Duolingo and Anki. Note that lots of learners suggest to learn with pictures (at least for simple nouns) instead of translations and I highly recommend that, too.

3. Grammar

Duolingo explanes very little grammar, but has some exercises. So in order to get the basics and as a reference book I use Modern Brazilian Portuguese Grammar. Learn some irregular verb conjugation in present tense, make yourself familiar with the regular verb conjugation patterns. Learn the gerund and iperativo. After that past tense (preterito perfeito and imperfeito). Don't worry about prepositions too much, they will come over time.

4. Listening Comprehension

In my eyes one of the most important parts, if not the most important. I don't know about you, but I like to actually use my portuguese in order to talk to people. Although you theoretically know the words, it is sometimes difficult to understand people, there are quite a lot of different accents, and some tend to merge words so it becomes a real challenge. I can recommend Semantica-portuguese (video based), portuguesepod101 (mostly audio based) and the podcasts of the texas university (e.g. lingua da gente). Semantica and portuguesepod101 are comple courses for beginners to advanced, so they can easily replace university classes. I started with a beginner course in university, but didn't learn much. It got me more curious about the language though, so I made the semantica course afterwards and was very satisfied with my progress.


5. Speaking

You should start speaking portuguese as soon as possible, even if you are not feeling comfortable about it yet. There are great tools available and people are very helpful. Hellotalk, iTalki.com, mylanguageexchange.com....there are tons


6. Slang

I noticed, that after quite a while I still was not able to follow conversations. That was because in spoken language, at least Brazilians use a lot of slang words, so over time you should make yourself familiar with them. Just add them to you preferred flashcard tool whenever you encounter some new slangs / idioms.


7. Reading and writing

Some people suggest reading childrens books such as the little prince or similar. Or reading along withe song lyrics. Since reading and writing is not my top priority I cannot give you solid recommendations. What I do is following a lot of portuguese twitter accounts (news etc), so I read at least a little portuguese every day. From time to time I head over to the website of a newspaper and try to decipher some articles. There are also reading tools available online such as lingua.ly but I haven't tried them yet.

8. Culture class

It always keeps me motivated, when I dive into Brazilian cultura. Food, music, city reports, history. There are great video podcasts and blogs available, some of them are listed in one of the other threads linked to above.

I guess that's it, your first year of learning portuguese should be covered by that. Boa sorte para aprender português!

tl,dr I use Semantica, Duolingo, Anki, Modern Brazilian Portuguese Grammar book on a regular basis, and throw in some podcasts, videos or newspaper articles from time to time

u/artranscience · 3 pointsr/Portuguese

Some others have asked the same question, but it is a question you need to ask yourself: what is your purpose for learning the language?

If you have intentions on traveling to a specific country or region, then you have your answer right there.

Otherwise, if you just happened to choose Portuguese as something to learn, then you need to ask yourself where your instruction or learning materials are going to focus. Are you going to take university classes or get tutoring? Are you doing this all by yourself? If you are going about it on your own, then take a look at what dialect will be supported by the most available selection of learning materials. I am pretty confident that you will find that Brazilian Portuguese is far easier to find good, affordable resources for. For example, Pimsleur (in my opinion the best mass-market language learning system for beginners) offers 3 levels of Brazilian Portuguese, but I believe still has only 1 level for Continental Portuguese.

That said, a lot of materials will address the major differences between Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. I highly recommend this excellent and highly affordable intermediate textbook, which does a great job of highlighting the places where the two dialects differ, and explaining why. I honestly don't think the gulf between Continental and Brazilian Portuguese is as vast as some make it out to be, though - you have mesoclisis in some verb forms in Continental Portuguese, and the two dialects use different present progressive forms, but these are not huge divides and you can become accustomed to the differences rather easily.

Additionally, because we are in the communication age, written Portuguese is standardizing across the oceans, so the gap is closing anyway. The major difference is going to be accents, which, well, as others have stated, you will always have a foreign accent anyway (or at least you will for a very long time, and won't lose it without actually living in a lusophone country), so it isn't that important. If you are a native speaker of English, you will probably sound Continental to Brazilians anyway because of our harder consonants.

Paraty is a beatiful city. I haven't been there yet, but I really want to. I'm not surprised the father of your roomate had a poster with a poem about that city.

Amyr Klink is from Paraty. The father of your roomate sounds like someone that would know Amyr Klink (yeah, big shot, I like to let my imagination flow sometimes, haha. But awesome people meet awesome people, right? And actually, after reading Amyr Klink's One Hundred Days Between Sea And Sky - which I highly recommend - I don't suspect of crazy coincidences anymore).

u/newjak76 · 3 pointsr/Portuguese

I second this. This Routledge-published John Whitlam reference works are absolutely the best comprehensive and serious was to dive in - even at first.

Modern Brazilian Portuguese Grammar (Modern Grammars) https://www.amazon.com/dp/113864689X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_j6gjDbSATPHWZ

I would recommend getting the workbook that accompanies the grammar and just trying to get through the workbook relatively quickly using the grammar as a reference (meaning you don't need to sit down and read through entire chapters of relatively detailed grammar lessons before you start studying).

He also has an "intermediate Brazilian Portuguese reader" with modern Brazilian fiction and non-fiction excerpts scaled for difficulty, which has been really helpful to continue getting comfortable.

I really stand by traditional college course style textbook reading-and-writing type learning and think you should just try and mix in as much interesting media as possible. Try watching some Brazilian movies on Amazon prime with English subtitles and after a few months if focused learning see if you can't switch to Portuguese subtitled Portuguese media and maybe some podcasts. Change your phone as suggested earlier and actually take a look at the suggested articles.

u/mnwushu89 · 7 pointsr/Portuguese

There is a book 501 portuguese verbs. I have the Brazilian version but i believe the author wrote a European one as well. It has the 501 most common verbs that are used/spoken and every conjugation for them.

In the beginning of the book the first couple chapters are grammar rules and sentence structure.

Same author also wrote this book which goes over grammar pretty well with a workbook with exercises. Once again this is Brazilian but I'm sure the Grammar and sentence structure will be the same if not very similar

u/thewhitedeath · 3 pointsr/Portuguese

I'm in the same boat. I'm using the book right now and it is very good. Modern Brazilian Portuguese Grammar: A Practical Guide

What's also good about it (unlike most BP books) is that it tells you what you need to know colloquially. It doesn't dispense with literary and formal usages but it will tell you beforehand which is awesome. I don't want to write a book in portuguese, I just want to understand and speak the bloody language colloquially. This book is perfect for that.

u/rainbowbubblegarden · 2 pointsr/Portuguese

Start with Brazil Classics 1: Beleza Tropical (and 2 & 3). Then move on to Rolling Stone Brazil's 100 Greatest Brazilian Albums.

Older stuff yes, but they're strong cultural references, just like The Beatles/The Rolling Stones/U2/etc are for English speakers. You'll often hear these songs in films.

u/psydelle · 3 pointsr/Portuguese

I'm currently doing my A2 level at the Instituto Camoes and since I travel alot, I end up teaching my self and I have found that this book is the best for grammar! As for conjugations, if you have a Windows Phone or an Android you can get this app called Portuguese-English dictionary (it's the one that has the Portuguese, British and American Flag). This dictionary will provide you with the conjugations of each verb in every tense. It's really helpful.
Edit: I don't know of any book that has all the conjugations like Becherelle, but if you happen to come across it, please let me know. :)

u/ishiz · 2 pointsr/Portuguese

Sorry to hijack your question OP but I also wanted to ask for some beginner advice without making a whole new thread.

I'm trying to learn PT-PT and many of the resources listed in this thread are for BR-PT. There is a very useful wiki page of PT-PT resources, but the page is a list of resources without going into detail which ones would be best for different people. So in short, I was considering doing the PT-PT Memrise daily for vocabulary and pronunciation and also following along with this book. Does anyone have any opinions on this idea?

u/--X88B88-- · 2 pointsr/Portuguese

The most helpful thing for me has been the Pimsleur language tapes. I'm almost finished with all 90 lessons. They're great.

I consider myself obsessed with grammar, and these are the two best grammar books I have come across for the Portuguese language. They do a fine job explaining Brazilian vs European as well. Either one would suit your needs. Having both may be redundant.

Modern Brazilian Portuguese

Portuguese: A Reference Manual

I personally have "Portuguese: A Reference Manual," but I've used both and they are fantastic.

Not a "course book" but it's one of the best books for learners of brazilian portugues "Modern Brazilian Portuguese Grammar".

u/dboeren · 8 pointsr/Portuguese

First, you need to decide whether you want to learn European Portuguese or Brazilian Portuguese as they have different resources (there are more for Brazilian). Probably it will be decided by which one your university course teaches.

I've been learning Brazilian Portuguese for about 6 weeks now using a combination of methods:

Duolingo and Memrise for apps
Lingua da Gente podcast
Semantica video series

If you want a book, this seems to be the one to get:

Of course there are many more resources and it's worth browsing around to see what you like.

I used this for beginning Portuguese 1 & 2

Edit: before I used this, I used the busuu app. The mobile app isn't subscription based, so I bought all the packs and it's pretty decent for building vocabulary and basic grammar.

I really like the Hugo - Portuguese in 3 months. It's more comprehensive than it sounds and has a lot of grammar in. Most of all, the way it's presented is a format that makes sense to me, so maybe it will to you too. It's not 100% comprehensive but will take you quite a way on the journey. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Portuguese-months-Months-Maria-Fernanda/dp/140530104X

u/picklesnpeaches · 3 pointsr/Portuguese

Hi, I live in a community with lots of European Portuguese and Brazilian speakers (in the US) and it really doesn't matter which you pick.

It doesn't make sense to learn "both". Stick to one and be aware of the differences.

Some will say that Brazilians don't understand European Portuguese as well, etc., but if they live in a community together, they end up learning each other's vocab. (Although the Azorean accent is tough for ANYONE to understand!)

This book here has both versions, if that helps:
https://www.amazon.com/Ponto-Encontro-Portuguese-World-Language/dp/0205782760

If they bother you about the accent, just shrug it off. Pronouncing it "bom dia" or "bom djia" doesn't make it incomprehensible. They're just being nitpicky.

I'd say learn European Portuguese because they are the majority where you live, but I'm Portuguese myself, so I'm a bit biased. ;)

u/MuskratRambler · 1 pointr/Portuguese

Eu uso este, que comprei no brasil. Parece que é um livro de português para os falantes de português. Não tem nada para estrangeiros (não é estrito em inglês), e por isso gosto dele. Trata de tudinho da idioma, quase demasiadamente às vezes. O problema é que provavelmente vai ser difícil de comprar fora do brasil.

Um outro que usei foi este, que é muito mais barato e disponível. Não é tão abrangente como o primeiro, mas é suficiente para ajudá-lo a começar.

Sei que tinha um outro que teve uma lista de todas as verbas irregulares e onde na paradigma as diferenças são, mas não consigo achá-lo. Bummer.
