meme template is two buff men beating a rectangle with the following quadrants:
- rectangle labeled me saying: I just learnt object pronouns o/a, você, nos, os/as. portuguese isn't that difficult
- red buffed man labeled -lo/-la, -los/-las with infinitives laughing
- purple buffed man labeled lhe, lhes with verbs ending in a joining red and laughing hysterically
- both beating the rectangle while laughing, with rectangle crying.
What I do when im trying to learn a language is caveman it. Me hungry eat food. As long as im understood it works then over time that sentence will evolve to I am feeling hungry I would like to eat some food
that's exactly how I learnt Spanish. just consuming content until I began speaking it with relative ease.
but with portuguese, i'm finding it difficult. I've tried listening to different genres like sartanejo, bossa nova, etc. but my brain rejects them all for some reason. idk if it has to do with the slow rhythm.
maybe someone here has some pop recommendation for me? or maybe even short series or YouTube channels.
I’m in a similar boat, Spanish degree from college, but learning Portuguese now, and I’ve found that kids programming like Sesasme Street (Rua Sésamo) is really great for getting some fundamentals. They tend to speak slower, avoid idioms and focus on foundational parts of the language. And the good thing is, you can find all 30ish episodes of Rua Sésamo on YouTube
Edit: Rua Sésamo is European Portuguese, if you want Brazil, then Vila Sésamo is what you’re looking for (or simply Sésamo)
thanks mate! and good luck on your language journey.
