First of all, this course is for English speakers, finished goods to a pedophile and English. The reason why is because I'm using English as a tool to explain to you how does the Portuguese language works? This course is for you also, if you never took any Portuguese courses before in your life, for Egypt, some lessons, but you are still at the beginner level. The reason why is because if you're ready in an intermediate or advanced level, chances are that you'll find this course though. Then if you plan on moving to Portugal or if you're ready leaving in Portugal, discourse is out for you. Most of the particles courses you'll find online are teaching you Brazilian Portuguese. But Brazilian and European Portuguese are very different, especially when it comes to the pronunciation. Then if you're planning on traveling to Portuguese-speaking countries, this course is also for you. Unlike Brazil, most of the other Portuguese speaking countries use a Portuguese very similar to the European Portuguese. But what is the content of this course? As I told you, I'm going to give you an overview of the European Portuguese language. Genre. Deserves it all means overview. So a lingual Portugese, the Portuguese language and overview. So I'll own lesson 1. Well, this course is divided into lessons. Hours. In Portuguese, Ireland means less than, so. Less than one. Alphabet. The alphabet. In this first lesson, I'm going to pronounce each letter of the alphabet so you get familiarized with European Portuguese pronunciation. I am also going to teach you some particular sounds we make in European Portuguese that for ignorance, terms of width. Our lesson two comes out to structure a sentence. In the second lesson, I'm going to show you seven different sentences. Each of those sentences represents a certain structure used in Portuguese language. I will analyze the sample sentences and 30s analysis. I'm going to explain to you the basic portuguese grammar and vocabulary. The idea is that after this lesson, you'll be able to structure some basic sentences yourself. So are you ready? Preparedness? But before that, who am I allow? Hello. He also a Leanna. I am arianna. Still a key, but a tissue that airplane they are put together. I'm here to help you learn in Portuguese, european Portuguese native speaker. I was born, raised and lived most of my life and Portugal are good. Last year I volunteered helping for ignorance, learning Portuguese. And now I'm using this amazing tool called Internet to teach Portuguese to people living at any part of the world. Are you ready to learn Portuguese? If yes. Jeremy class.
2. Class project: All laugh. I see you accepted my challenge. Won't bind. Well then let's start by these class project. So you should number one, big notebook, a piece of paper, and of course a pen or pencil. Second of all, using to take some notes along the way. Those nodes can be anything from classic note-taking, two diagrams, games, anything that might help you through the learning process. In my case, for example, I use a lot of different colors to help me remembering the information. Third, in the end, take a picture or a screenshot and post it in the project and resources section. These way, you're giving herself the double of the motivation to take nice notes and I get to see the fruits of my own work. Now we are ready to start the course. So see you next video.
3. Lesson 1 - The alphabeth and sounds in Portuguese: Hello, baby, owl, innumerable. Welcome to the lesson number one. Who alphabet? The alphabet? In this lesson, I'm going to introduce you to the Portuguese alphabet and some of the most important sounds in the Portuguese language. Firms can stop it will also that, let's start by the alphabet. The alphabet put together to invent it translators. The Portuguese alphabet has 23 letters. I'll link this is literacy. In addition to these letters, at risk sauce use anchorage. There are three that are only used in special cases, but lavish, new or using strange ITA words offering origin. And those letters are copper, w Epsilon. As you can see above. I underline those letters in a different color. So you can see the normal, let's put it in this way. Portuguese alphabet. The alphabet that we use when we are also introducing some orange gene words. Besides that, as you can see in this slide, I'm using different colors to underline the same word in English and Portuguese. This way, it becomes easier for you to understand some of the structural differences between Portuguese and English. Plus, you get to learn some vocabulary. So Alphabet, alphabet, Portuguese, Portuguese, selling there. So in addition to these Four Asian origin, strong xydA for a. But now, let's pronounce each letter. I will pronounce each letter individually and you repeat it after me. Say c d e f, f e e kappa kappa L M N O P K, K. For the blue, the blue epsilon, epsilon z, z. So we just finished it. This is a, B, C, D, F E L M N gate S. Take the blue sheesh, Epsilon z. Those are the latter's Bush when Duchamp, as with thrush. But there are some complicated sounds when we put letters together. Mesh. But I'll go change some song. Sounds. Complicated, complicated. Let's check it out. In Portuguese, we pronounce the sounds in two different ways. We use our mouth for the oral sounds. We use our notes for the nasal sounds. So some examples of the oral sounds are COOH, HA, pair Thema, bei, mir, three-ish. By Pao. I'll say. Don't get worried if you're not able to repeat after me because I will give you a chance to do that later. Now, let's go for some examples of the nasal sounds. Can pull. Temple, Benton, blink part, being tired. Main, saying, outline, danger. You well can bang among Phil Lynch, Blaine in more into these are the ones with which usually for ignorance struggle with the most. Because we are a language that is spoken a lot with the nose and auto only with their mouth. But in case you're interested in vocabulary because I'm saying a bunch of different words and odd saying the meaning of it. I'm going to say it right out. So take notes. Cycle back, shovel to camera, that botanical panic. Batna, leg, foot, misery. Table, three-ish, three BY father. Bow. Stick. Another way of s2. Preposition. I'm going to say no. Frog in my sister. Campo countryside. The ample time, phantom limb part to clean, being part to paint. My mother, saying 100. Allying besides have like you have to touch Zhuang Zhuang-Zi name. So it's not translatable. Zhuang, a name of a person, count, dog, bell, bread among MR. in the third person on the plural of the present simple Eilish and Mill. Bluish balloons. Point, put a lot or buried. So one of the sounds that for any struggle the most is OWL, and it's very common for people call URL to be very upset when they go abroad because nobody is able to pronounce their names. So one of the tricks that I think is one of the best tricks to learn algebra. Now, swell is to imitate the sound of a high-speed card. Basically repeated sometimes and try to get like, how do you do with your nose in order to pronounce it, right? That's the easiest way. When repeated a lot of times. Then goes around and you'll get it. Another sound that is also very hard as an English, the best way is to practice it is to pretend something smells really bad, like make this face like my range. My main, main, main. Notice how does the sun comes out of your nose? Basically doesn't come out, but it's done in there in the nose. And I think this is the best way maize out my sound stupid, but it's the best way. My belongings like how my God, it's not so bad. Main belong range. It's basically the best way to get it. But, well, this is your homework to repeated a lot of times. But now I will repeat each one of these words and you have the chance or repeating after me. And check if you're able to pronounce it well. So sacrum, sacral, bar, bar, camera, camera, clinical, clinical. Fairness. Pay, MRSA, mrsa. Chris. Chris, Bye, bye. Bao, Bao, OWL, OWL. Say, say it. A mad man, Campo. Campo. To improve the ampho B into Benton. Lean part. B into B into Sang. Sang, Alan. Alan. Thanks. Thanks. Cao. Cao. Bound, bound. Mel. Boyish boiling point. More into Momento. So congratulations, really, ECOWAS to do direct your pre-made pass, but I bring it put together. You just took your first step to learn Portuguese, like unabashed law you just took. But it might Basu first step, a premier to learn. In the next lesson, the aula or no crossing MOOC video. When zeppelin Lead. For how to structure a sentence, I hope you don't create after all these heart sounds to pronounce. Okay, See you.
4. Lesson 2 – Structuring a sentence - Part 1: I know salty Mao. Welcome to our last lesson. As you already know, in this lesson or outlet, we are going to analyze and sentences in Portuguese. But because I think we have too much content for just one video, I'm going to divide it into two videos. So this is going to be Part 1, and there will be a bar q. But now let's move to the sentences. So European basic structure, hairpin, Portuguese basic structures. So a Leanna dish. So put together is so by Widener. Trish, thank you. Own past support. Poor to Gish. Quatro, still a leash boy. Still the same CPU. You say for line angle is going to bind, says AMA MLA via the Exit NVDA, sit, DVI. So in this part we're going to analyze the first three sentences. And then in part two, we're going to analyze the other four. So let's start by the first sentence. You also Eliana. I am Eliana. So first word, ill or i is a personal pronoun. Put on, swell. And last check the personal pronouncing Portuguese for piecewise. Ill, ill vastus medialis Elish, so ill I, to you, ill he, she, we losses. You plural, elusive day, masculine, Elish, the family. But let's check how to say things in a more formal way. Because for, if you want to refer to somebody in a more formal way, what do you do is that you will conjugate the verb in the third person singular, but you'll replace or alibi. Oh, the gentleman as Newton, the lady. Okay. So if for example you want to say to somebody in a formal way, like you are smart. You are going to say, who's intelligent, literally translating the gentleman a smart as snow to ANC lesions, microliters letting the lady is smart. It might sound strange, but if you use you in Portuguese, ET is extremely informal. So if somebody fills a need for an extra respects, they might not like that. You treat them by u. Let's move to the next forth. So, so E is a verb. This case is the verb. See it. Okay, but this is part of the verb to be. So divert to be can be translated into two different verbs in Portuguese. Stat for changeable characteristics and sit for permanent characteristics. So in this case, you will so a Leanna, I am Iliana. Every day. I don't change my name. It's a permanent characteristic. But he for his MBA, I was referring to the fact that I was tired. I would use the verb because it's saf e to change. I'm not always tired. I'm tired at these specific moment rights. But well, if you, if you want to present yourself, a very useful verb will be seer. So let's conjugate it in the present simple. So here we habits. He also foolish il, a, a, a fossil fish cell. He'll sell LSL. So with these verbs, you can always talk about yourself, at least about your permanent threat. Threat sticks. And it's an article, it's corresponds to the English, okay? And in Portuguese and European Portuguese, we always put the article before names and nouns. That doesn't necessarily work like that in Brazilian Portuguese, okay, but it is mandatory in European Portuguese to do so. Because if you notice in English, you would say, I am in Vienna, you, you, then you wouldn't use the article. But in Portuguese, you always say this is also a Eliana. Okay? These, these mandatory. So let's check the definitive articles because this is a definitive article. And one thing about Portuguese, one very specific thing is also that we have genders for everything, okay? Even for the shoes and for the paintings, for everything, everything is either masculine or feminine. So why do we put the article? We need to change it according to the to be masculine, feminine, singular or plural. Okay? Mcqueen or feminine, singular or plural. So the definitive articles will be mescaline, singular. Feminine, singular. She. Mescaline, put out for meaning put out in these cases. Iliana, because I'm feminine woman and I'm just one. Now, let's move forward. The next word, you, Iliana, which is my name in here. There's nothing very special to say right? About the articles. Don't worry, because we will talk about that more later. Okay. So now let's move to the next sentence. The second sentence. So Portuguese, iso by Medina. I am Portuguese and I am a dancer. So is a verb. Okay, verbs here, as we saw before, and then the subject, as you can see it's emitted, we'd have a subject. So J2 AMI soon. And it happens because usually in Portuguese, we don't put the subject before the verb most of the times, okay. You can see to whom am I referring by? Simply seeing how did I conjugate the verb. So it also the first-person singular. So the person is obviously talking about herself. Okay? Put together, aiming in this unity that it's my nationality. If I were a man, I would be put to gauge. It ends when it ends with a, with an a because I am a woman. But this is not a normal way of doing the feminine and the masculine in Portuguese. Okay, I'm just using Portuguese as an example because obviously for coming to Portugal, you should know how to say poor to Giza and pull to gauge, right? But let's use another nationality for an example, Angola, the country from Africa, Angola. So if a woman comes from, if a woman is from Angola, she will say, so. If a man comes from Angola, E, We'll say so, angle, NO. So as you can see, the word ends with an a, she's a woman or if we didn't, oh, man. This is a normal way of doing the feminine and masculine and Portugal. Okay, Next for the little one but very important. E means n. So it's really important for you to connect to two pieces of information. So again, we have the verb and then we have violet enough. So by letting it is a professional that serve. And if I were to make, I would be bi-linear disease. One of the cases, as you can see, like femininity versus masculinity in Portuguese language, very traditional way of doing it by Medina. We then eight because I'm a man. But what we didn't know because because I'm a woman by letting that we didn't know because I am a man. So let's move to the last sentence, okay. But support the Portuguese. Have a Portuguese passports. So Daniel is a verb, is nice, in this case, variable tear verb to have, and this is how we conjugate it in the present simple. Thank you. To Danish, thing l at thing notch, the English both. Lca. L is 10. So I have you have he has, she has. We have, you have. They have both masculine and feminine. And again, the subject is emitted because as I told you before, usually you don't put the subject before, you know that an unconjugated, conjugating it in the first-person singular. So I've obviously talking about myself diagonal on past support put to gauge. What is this is the definitive article in definitive article and a t in Needham mescaline. It's masculine, as I told you in Portuguese, everything as a gender. Okay, eaten the passport. So, but what is the difference between 0 and 0, right? Because in the last sentence we add 0. Okay? So it's the same difference that you have in English than your own pass apart. I have a passport thing. All pass apart. I have the passport. So all means any like I have a passport Thing by support, I have dad specific passports. Okay. This is the same difference. The only difference between English and Portuguese is that we have to change it accordingly to the gender and accordingly to being plural or singular according to the network. So this is the definitive article on edge. And here we have the definitive one image. And as you can see, we add an S for the plural. Okay, in some cases like these one, we need to replace the letter for a different one. But in most cases you don't. If you have a vowel, you never do it just ins. And this is our either the plural. In Portuguese. Moving to pass support. Bus supports means passports. And as you can see, I'm explaining here again, by supporter. If you want to do the plural, you will, for example, to say, thank you all sh, sh plural, masculine, past support this. You just have an S, ash by support dish. Okay? This is how we do it. Simple. To guess. This one you already know. So feminine, masculine, poor to Gish, quite symbol HA. So we finish all the sentences for this first video. There will be more than X1, so vanish, Waze it. Let's make a post. And I'll see you in the next video version. Who's new processing of V DU on the volar silver, push through to rat on the threads, how to structure a sentence? Part 2.
5. Lesson 2 – Structuring a sentence - Part 2: Theme, do him apart than us, the ultimate outlet. Welcome to the last part of our last lesson. So let's keep going on dissenters analysis. I hope you don't get distressed by these. Don't to worry if it is too much information for you. Remember, you can watch these videos over and over again. Okay, so let's move forward the sentences. In this video, we're going to analyze the four sentences, at least equally, Opus, tell the nafta, you'll say for lighting leash when Cobain doubling vocal. Albeit, yeah. So let's move for the actual contents of yourself. Not because it's a very long sentence. I'm going to divide it into still eligible myself that I am ill has been an eight storing these boys. Okay. This is the verb. Remember that I told you that the verb to be has two types, two verbs inside of it. Okay? These is the other part of it. This is the one that we use for changeable characteristics because I am in Lisbon for right now. I'm not always in Lisbon. I'm telling you right now, I am Elizabeth and I just ate these amazing personal data, right? So let's learn how to conjugate the UCC that in the present simple. Fetch that useful to stash, Eilish that knowledge, then wish for CJ though. Push down. Elish that. Okay, let's give you some examples because as I told you, this is not to use for permanent characteristics, but what are changeable characteristics? Things like staff leash. He is happy. Okay. Ease, happy, right out. He's not happy all the time. It'll staff leader, it's, it's a state of mind. Not stems. Put the dish. We are lost. Knowledge. Stems put the dish. So in case you get lost alone, I'm also leaving these for you is singular. How to say it in a singular elasto, put either, okay, see if you find yourself lost in the middle of leaves, man, and you need to approach a police officer that doesn't know English. You already know how to say. You're still believe them, okay. But only approach police officers, they'll approach random people, please. Let's move to the next word. Is a preposition. Okay, I am in Lisbon. Elites boy is bent by the way. It's, it's Lisbon. Okay, please. Well, it means Lisbon. Simple as that. Let's go for the second part of our sentence. Economy. Uber still did not already know what it means from the previous ones, right? Means. And you've got it right. Kami is the verb to eat. In this case, it's conjugated in the past simple. So I'm going to show you how to conjugate it also in the past. Simple, okay, to make sense accordingly to the sentence. So he'll come, you know, phosphorus yields camera. Okay. So you ate in this case, I ate at pastel data. You're ready notice worthy as well. It is an infinitive article, but it can also mean one in Portuguese, like, how many did you eat? One, okay, pastel the atom. So let's take the chance to learn the numbers in Portuguese, up to five. So this quatro cinco, Trish, quatro cinco. So now you know how to say how many you ate. I hope you don't eat more than five per cell than out at once because you'll get sick. Okay. So what is best overnight in case you don't know? It's a traditional porch discussed the third, it looks more or less like these, and it is a leashes, okay? Imagine you are eating more than one personal data, how you say it in a plural. So this is how you do it. You can either push stage that. We don't simply add an S because it's, you notice pastel and sweets consonant L. So what did doing here is that we put an accent in, add in the e, and we add an eye. Fetch stage, the inactive. Okay, So if you ate more than one, can say English bore economy, imagine the foreign the picture. Still illegal. Economy. Quiet through Thursday is not there. Okay. So now let's do some revision of the verb to be in Portuguese because I noticed this kind of strange for people who don't speak Portuguese. So we have two verbs furthermore to be, see it such that c is for the permanent characteristics, like when you're presenting ourself. And start is for the changeable characteristics, things that change over time. So you also put together, I am Portuguese, okay, it's something that you are. I mean, you can change nationality, but that's very unlikely to happen right here. So Alto, I am told that one is even harder to change. Also preserved, I am a teacher. Okay? Those things are characteristics that you have. They don't change. I mean, it can get you can change your your job too. Can switch job, but you won't do it that often, right? So that's why you use the verb theatre. Start if for things, eats for things that change very slowly over time, like I am tired, use look in sudden, empires ran out. Your stalkers and yet it's an action. Okay, I'm not always doing it. I'm cooking. I'm cooking, run out. Maybe in often hour, I will already be eating, for example, usto Incas. I am at home. At this moment, I am at home. I'm not always permanently at home. So these are the main differences and I think those are very good examples for you to put into practice. Now let's move to the next sentence. You say full LAD, lesion, wind vane. I knew how to speak English very well. Let's start where already know the first one, like I say, is the verb to know. Ok? And now let's, let's go back to the present simple and let's conjugate is one. In the presencing poll. You'll say the Village Voice, you're stabbing. Okay, I don't put the feminine in here because we know IL Ella. We conjugate it in the same way. Ills. We also conjugated in the same way. Sobbing. And as you can see, we have say, and these, these were Laughter. This is also a verb for lack to speak. So these verbs severe and is an auxiliary verb in the sentence. And it's very common to use this structure. Verb, auxiliary verb, auxiliary verb plus infinitive mice infinity. In some examples that I put in here, you'll say then sat, I know how to dance. Say, you'll say I know. Then sad, then start to dance. So this is the structure oxygen lever. Say, this are in the infinitive. You'll still, I am cooking though. I've delivered, I am using a cookie. In definitive. In this case, we're using full out to speak. In the infinitive, you'll say for lack English, which is English, you already know this word means very well. I know how to speak English very well. He'll say full lot English. Imagine you wanted to say, you know how to speak English very well. You could say foo, savage, full out English when to buy, because the only thing that changes is the auxiliary. Remember, this one is still always an infinitive, ill sadden flat and leaves me to buy. Also be ambush full English by four CH sub I. You know, full out English by simple. Let's go to another big one. And I'm going to divide this into two parts again. The main thing. I also have green and big luggage. Okay? These first-world come back. Delay means to, okay, but in English, you place it in the end of the link, in the end of the sentence. It would be something like I also have a green and black luggage. Okay. But we don't have I also until we have the man can be placed in any part of the sentence. In Portuguese. In Portuguese, pulled him desert. We can say field thing and Ramallah veered ignorant. Done by 2, like in English, I have a green and big luggage to or I have to agree. And big luggage. You've done you. Then by all I'm Oliver, the grant. You can place it in different parts of the sentence. It's fine. Daniel is a verb too. We already explored it before. Is the verb do have the lengthen your former. Again, you notice words, it's definitive article, but it can also mean how many languages you have. So I have eight. And if elective article, everyone, number of languages. In this case, I mostly wanted to say how many languages I have. So let's explore the word Malala because I was mentioning you were in airports, so this would mean luggage. But Mala can also mean like a mala. This new added the first lady usually carries around, right? Malate can mean both things. Feared. That means cream. It's a color screen. But I think this is a good chance for you to learn other colors in Portuguese, right? So Mark colors. Red, orange, blue, yellow, purple. Okay, so repeat after me. Let, let engine as well. Horseshoe. Okay, So now you know more colors in Portuguese. You already know nt is a good surprise, I'm sure because it means big and it doesn't change accordingly to gender. Okay, grand is always gland. So you can use it for feminine and masculine exactly in the same way, like malloc. It ended. Leave it open-ended. Remember article, feminine, singular. Masculine, singer. Leave leukotrienes. Okay, doesn't change accordingly to gender. Let's move to the last one. I hope this is not being too intense for you. So vocal. Dibl tomorrow I'm going to buy a plane ticket. Means to R0. As the same way we we I explained I explained you with the words, the main, you could you could place it in different parts of the sentence. It's the same way down. You can police it either in the beginning or the end of the sentence. Both are completely rights and bolder. Widely used, okay? Everyone just changes the order very easily of the sentence. So it's the verb to go bad. As you can see, we have another firm, okay, close to it. So vocal tract, this one is in the infinitive, so Vo is the verb to go for, is the verb to shop. So this is the structure we using it plus infinitive disease, a very common structure used to save the future without actually a conjugated verb in the future. So DES is a very good structure for you to know it when you are starting with Portuguese, okay, like you need the basic survival number of structures to go to Portugal. These one is a mandatory one to talk about the future and vocal brat tomorrow, I'm going to buy it. So very easy to go. And this is irregular one, as you can see by the conjugation variable. Yuval, to vanish. Knowledge vanish for a series. Well, okay, your vocal to vice versa as well. Complaint. Eels well, okay, tomorrow. For a computer to buy, then you already know in definitive article, right? Masculine singular. Because we get is masculine will be good because it means ticket, the AVL. And remember that sound that is hard to say. If young. If you want to practice, it means planes. Okay. I'm being vocal brat only get aVL, the plane ticket. And as you can see, we do a cure three round of what English people do, like, like English speakers do. Let me get to the plane tickets, which is switch it off. So literally translating it will be something like a ticket of plain old it. Yeah. So congratulations. I know this was a very intensive course, okay. But I think right now you have the basics to have a simple conversation with Portuguese people and to communicate what you, whatever you need to communicate in Portugal. So I gotta just a reference input this. Now you know how to structure a sentence, Portuguese. Now a garden. How cool sentence. So in the next video, we're going just to finish this course, okay? It's just a goodbyes. So see you next video.
6. Conclusion: Our fin and we arrived at TNS. But a badge, congratulations. Epiblast is mean equals Portuguese 0 pill. You just finished these European Portuguese, meaning course. I finish it.
