- Thanks, but I wrote the english bits not the Portuguese ones.

Obrigado, mas eu escrito o Inglês. Eu não escrito o Português. (is this correct?)

jelly Monday 23rd of May 2005 06:14:24 PM
- O, eh eh! :)

Então provalmente fui eu que fiz alguns erros no português, não é? :) Estou aprendendo ainda. Se necessário, pode me corrigir quando vc me ver errar?

Não deveria ser "eu preciso de estudar"? :)

- Good question Axystos.

Let´s consider, for instance, the verb 'gostar' (to like). This verb demands the preposition 'de', so:

Eu gosto de chocolate - I like chocolate
Eu gosto de dormir :-) - I like to sleep

About 'precisar', it demands 'de' too:

Eu preciso de água - I need water

But, when you use it with a verb, you don't use the preposition... That is:

Eu preciso estudar - I need to study

An exception to the general rule :-/

If I may correct:
"Eu gostaria de estar falando tudo português
-I would like to be able to speak perfect Portuguese?(?)"

the translation is not as accurate as it could be. For your translation "I would like to be able to speak perfect Portuguese" in Portuguese it should be written "Eu gostaria de ser capaz de escrever Português perfeito"

Another correction, if you allow me:
"Eu preciso estudar
-I need study(?)"

"Estudar" is the verb in the infinitive, so you would have to put the "to" so it should be: "I need TO study"

Please let me know if I can help you further more! :)

Até breve!
(See you soon)

zero - i want to learn portuguese so badly and it's been a while since i joined this site and i still don't seem to get anywhere :( and i'm such a slow learner!!! does anyone have the patience to teach me coz i'm really slow and i'd like to know if i'm prouncing everything right too....
any volunteers?? i can teach you english, french and arabic in return????? :)

RagingPineapples Monday 20th of June 2005 07:20:54 PM
- I've been helped because I have some Brazillian friends who can correct my pronunciation. If you can find a Portuguese-speaker to meet face-to-face, get them to help.

More people speak Portuguese than you'd think. I just found out my neighbour speaks it too.

I held my first half-conversation with a Portuguese speaker yesterday! It went like this:

Me: "Olá! ... uhm... você falar Inglês?"
Him: "pouco"
Me: "Ah... uhm... que é você nome?"
Him: "heh... Marco, é você?"
Me: "Chris... meu Português não é muito bom"
Him: "...Why don't we just speak English?"
Me: "...yeah, let's"

heehee! Was funny! We ended up having to get someone who spoke both English and Portuguese to translate! But the practice in real life is handy.

Remy Sunday 26th of June 2005 12:52:41 AM
- hehe yeah i need to go fishing for someone who can speak portuguese :D i actually have a portuguese friend but he's been so busy this year he doesn't have time for me anymore :( and i don't really want to be a pain and i actually started to learn portuguese for him but then i found out i really loved it :) and now i want to be able to speak it so that when i visit i'll be able to actually open my mouth and speak ;)

bel Sunday 26th of June 2005 04:28:44 PM
hi - i can help you, if you want. i am portuguese and i am learning english.

Remy Monday 27th of June 2005 01:37:26 AM
- sure thanks bel!! *hugs* just tell me when you want to start ;)

arkangath Friday 22nd of July 2005 11:38:52 PM

Also I would like to learn german.

So anyone, any questions, tell me!

***** TO: RagingPineapples ******

The setence "Obrigado, mas eu escrito o Inglês. Eu não escrito o Português." is fuzzy...
Considering the information on the previous sentence ("Thanks, but I wrote the english bits not the Portuguese ones.") the correct one would be "Obrigado, mas eu escrevi (as partes) em inglês, e não (as partes) em português.
