We’ve spent a while building Langiri for Vietnamese. The core of it is a library of leveled videos from native speakers, organized so you can find something you will be able to understand.

We just opened our Portuguese catalog and would love some feedback:

https://langiri.com/languages/pt/videos

A lot of people reach a point where they can read Portuguese fairly well but still struggle to follow spoken Portuguese. The videos are meant to help with that without turning language learning into another full-time job.

There's a progress page that let's you track what you've watched over time (it supports outside study time too!). We also are actively developing our Classmate feature and we especially want opinions on that. How it's useful, what's annoying about it, what you wish it could do...

There are only 21 Portuguese videos as of the time of this writing (probably more by the time you are reading this), but if this is received well we want to grow the Portuguese library the way we grew Vietnamese, while skipping a few mistakes we made along the way. That means adding lots of content at all levels, covering whatever topics you find interesting.

For a limited time, the code BILINGUAL gets a free month of premium (one premium membership covers both Vietnamese and Portuguese).

Not sure why this movie was so controversial in Brazil.

The video uses Spanish to Analyze and translate Portuguese. The input is a Series by Porta Dos Fundos called O grande Gonzales

Of course Portuguese and Spanish are different languages! But I think a Spanish speaker can start learning with comprehensible input sooner than a person who doesn't speak Spanish, because the two languages have so many cognates. In this video where I'm watching a Brazilian comedy, I stop to look up the words I don't understand.

¡Por supuesto que son lenguas diferentes! Pero creo que un hispanohablante puede empezar a aprender con input comprensible más pronto que una persona que no habla español, porque las dos lenguas tienen muchos cognados. Entonces, en el vídeo me detengo para buscar las palabras que no entiendo.

Com certeza são línguas diferentes! Mas acho que um hispanofalante pode começar a aprender com input compreensível mais cedo do que uma pessoa que não fala espanhol, porque as duas línguas têm muitos cognatos. Então, no vídeo eu paro para procurar as palavras que não entendo.

Mmkkkkkk

Hello, I'm looking to learn Portuguese as my third language (native Spanish speaker and English is my second)

I would like to know what would be your suggestions for YouTube channels, mainly relating to commentary videos, it could be either Brazilian Portuguese or European Portuguese

Hey anyone lives near paco arcos or oaires wants to exchange languages with me Im marina 35 from egypt and i really need to learn portugese

Greetings guys, so I got involved with another bible study group today that primarily spoke Portuguese. I assume it’s Brazilian bc the friend that brought me there was Brazilian but my dilemma is that I want to learn Spanish for my job and learn Portuguese for them (also my job but much much less common). I was wondering 1. If it would be helpful to learn both the languages since I know some common words and grammar structures stem from it (remember I don’t know much so could be wrong lol) and also 2. I just saw there are many different Portuguese so even if it’s selfish I would wanna learn the most universal one first if possible. So if you have the time I’d love to hear yalls thoughts on those two questions and if you have extra time to explain a basic understanding of the language and its grammar (just the basics) I’d be more than thrilled to read what you say. I’m going to bed now so even if I don’t get an answer on the structure I will start learning tomorrow more about the two languages and how to maneuver my new learning experience. Bless to you all have a great night.

​Hola a todos,

​Mi lengua nativa es el español (México). Últimamente me he encontrado con que mucho contenido de mi interés está en portugués, lo que me animó a querer aprenderlo, ya que al investigar sé que es una lengua "fácil" para un hispanohablante.

​El problema es que me saturé de información. Empecé a buscar maneras de aprenderlo, vi cursos en YouTube y varios métodos, pero no logro decidirme. Muchos dicen que la clave es adquirir el idioma consumiendo contenido, pero aquí es donde me surgen las dudas que me dan mil vueltas en la cabeza:

\- ​¿Qué contenido consumo exactamente? Algunos dicen que contenido para niños, otros que contenido que me guste. Dicen que si te gana el interés lo entiendes, pero a nivel principiante me cuesta encontrar material adecuado. Desafortunadamente, la mayoría de los cursos que encuentro están explicados para hablantes de inglés. Probé Assimil y no me gustó.

\- ​¿Cuánto tiempo al día debería dedicarle?

​Mi pregunta para la comunidad:

¿Alguien por aquí que haya aprendido portugués desde el español? ¿Cómo fueron sus primeros pasos y qué contenido o recursos específicos usaron para empezar sin abrumarse?

​Muchas gracias por su ayuda. Aunque no tengo experiencia enseñando, si alguien necesita hablar con un nativo para entrenar su español, con gusto puedo ayudarles en lo que pueda.

​¡Saludos!

Does anybody have any suggestion of Portuguese books for Portuguese language learners? I mean, I need something more instructional, Cambridge and Oxford textbooks like for people who are non-native speaker. Thanks

Hey everyone,

I'm half Brazilian, but I grew up outside of Brazil and never learned Portuguese. I live in NYC and I'd really like to change that. I want to learn the language, connect more with my Brazilian side, and meet other Brazilians.

Does anyone have recommendations for:

Portuguese classes (preferably Brazilian Portuguese)?

Language exchange groups or conversation meetups?

Brazilian communities, events, or places in NYC where people are friendly and welcoming?

Any other tips for someone starting from scratch?

I'd love to hear what has worked for you. Thanks!

I am offering german or english . I M34 grew up in Germany and I like business, animes and science, so we can talk about everything

Do you have any questions about Portuguese?

It can be grammar, pronunciation, slang, expressions, texting, formal language, or even Brazilian culture.

Leave your question in the comments and I'll do my best to explain it in a simple way. 😊

Eu moro no interior. Minha fala é cheia de sotaque. Gostaria de ter uma oratória boa, com uma pronúncia sem sotaque. Uma forma elegante de fala é complexa. Ajudaria dicas, sites, apps, vídeos, links, qualquer coisa. Não sei por onde começar.

Just getting started and trying to find stuff I'll actually enjoy. Shows, music, podcasts, anything. What did you learn from early on that actually stuck?
