Is Portuguese Hard to Learn?

Mr. Olly Richards, can you, please, stop using the Brazilian flag instead of the Portuguese one to identify the language? Don't see you using the Mexican flag instead of the Spanish one, yet there are 3 Mexicans for each Spanish, like there are about 20 Brazilians for each Portuguese...

It’s too bad your Portuguese course is in Brazilian pt I live in Portugal !

I don't understand why people find the grammar so hard When referring to a female it's typically A Or I at the end of the word and referring to a male it's typically o or u at the end Getting used to these simple rules is a big step in understanding Portuguese Especially because it helps you fill in the blanks even if you don't know a specific word the surrounding words can help you figure it out

European!!

Colloquial portuguese throws away most of verbal conjugations. I think its easier, but you must learn straight up colloquial portuguese to be easier, that's what I think at least.

It sounds like Spain had a kid with France and Italy is this strange uncle that comes every sunday.

Sabía is the same like in Spanish even with the accent it’s the same thing like in Portuguese. A lot of words are similar in Spanish and Portuguese but both languages aren’t the same. I feel knowing Spanish makes it easier to learn Portuguese but there is still bit of a struggle

Sabia = Knew
Sábia = Wise
Sabiá = A bird

hint for beginners:
when learning portuguese, you can use the phrase "rebolei leitinho pros crias" as a welcome, a greeting or a informal hello

Thanks for encouraging me to learn Portuguese 😂❤😂❤😂❤😂❤😂❤❤

Viva a língua portuguesa 🧡

Hi. Any Story Learning courses for European Portuguese?

Hey there everyone! I'm Brazilian guy so Is there someone who is learning Portuguese language? If there's someone you can reply me in my private ok.

I speak portuguese, everything that we don't know is difficult, english still very tough to me even though I've been learning it since 2022.

Actually educated can be educado. Everything will depend on the context.

Say pneumoultrasilicovulcanoconiótico
That's hard even for me to say.

I tried to learn some, 20 years ago. Just for a holiday. I found it incredibly difficult! the not-phonetic thing is a killer. I mean, English is BAD. and no other latin language is entirely phonetic, but they do have an element of interchangeability. Portuguese, nao. And you cannot read it! you blithely suggest reading - i am not sure! If I am ever lucky enough to go to Portugal again, I will fall back on learning a few key things, and not attempt conversation.

Sou Americano mesmo. E aprender português brasileiro, e me mudar pro o Rio, (e me casar com minha esposa super linda daí). Foi literalmente a melhor escolha que fiz na vida!!! Vai lá!! E vem me visitar no Rio depois de aprender viu?? Haha

Fico extremamente feliz em saber que tem pessoas que se interessam em aprender português.

BRASIL:
VAI TOMAR BANHO!!!

Don't worry about grammar. Most Brazilians also don't know it 😅

The woman in the thumb is a symbol of the brazilian fascism. The self-titled "patriot", the "good citizen".

Sim, very!!!

What song was that on the string?

ARE YOU SPAMMING ME 😡

Nem os brasileiros sabem falar direito o portugues. Esta é a real. Agora so dos gringos trocar os artigos masculino e feminimo ficam julgando eles. kkkk

I'm Brazilian, the videos is so good. If someone has interest to learn with me, just answer my comment. You don't have to pay, just help me to speak English and I'll help you to speak Portuguese from Brazil!

Unlike French and Spanish, often perceived as deeply rooted in their lands of origin, Portuguese, especially in its Brazilian variant, shines far beyond its borders. Brazil, with its rich history of cultural blending and vibrant dynamism, offers a more open and inclusive vision of the language. The influence of its Afro-descendant population has deeply enriched this culture, giving it a unique identity.

Lusophone Africans find a powerful resonance in this Brazilian Portuguese, which mirrors a shared multicultural experience. Portuguese has thus transcended its European roots, becoming the quintessential language of the Global South, standing apart from other European languages still tethered to their metropolises. Brazil, by integrating diverse heritages (African, Indigenous, European, Japanese), has transformed Portuguese into a living symbol of diversity.

Today, Portuguese has become the most spoken language in the Southern Hemisphere, and the third most spoken European language in the world, positioning Brazil as the vibrant heart of a thriving lusophone world.

About the vibrant sound in R , an football announcer(Galvão Bueno) who said RRRRRRRRonaldinho was very funny. Search Galvão Bueno gritando RRRRRROOONAAAALLLDIIIIIIINHOOOOOO . The difficulty of learning a new language depends a lot on how far it is from your mother tongue. For Brazilians, learning English is also very complicated, as the origin of the language is further away.

Hi, I'm learning english and wanted people for conversation in english, I speak portuguese native, We can help us.

I live two years in Portugal and my language is Flemish.Portuegese always tell me that English people can't speak Portuguese.Then on one day a get a book in English to learn Portuguese the first page were already 5 faults in.I actually go to a Portuguese friend and show him the book then he told me again that English people can't speak Portuguese why is that🤔

If that is true from the 50 different verbs then why does it stand in the your other video with the easiest language to learn?By the way thank you for all your videos you are an amazing teacher😘❤️

It’s not if you speak English and Spanish, as some of the sounds in English are found in Portuguese and have similar words in Spanish.

If anyone needs to train their pronunciation in Portuguese, I can help, as I am studying English and we can train together.

Caca, deslike.
Nem tás citandes os dialetos e o nosso português europeu, pá
Bye

As a Spanish speaker, I find it's not that bad, but it adds a twist of a French feel. I speak a bit of French, so it's not as bad.🤣

Let me start this video by saying there are two versions of Portuguese. Now that that's out of the way let's ignore one version completely and focus solely on the other one.

Your accent is incredible

I am a Brazilian, I don’t know how I’ve been watching this video, hahahahahahaha. I feel kinda strange to learn my own native language. 😂

Jesus loves you Olly

No Nao

Eu sou brasileiro e nao sei explicar porque falamos ele vive "na" china( feminino) e ele vive "no" canada (masculino) a gente simplesmente decora

Interesting. Every time he mentions the romance languages. He never names Romanian

Olá bom dia a todos.
Vou escrever uma frase em português.Que parece ser similar ao árabe.
ALI HÁ LATAS a lingua portuguêsa não é só Latim o português é latim árabe ébraico grego e alguma palavras de português são africanas e asiáticas. Bunda Sanzala Cubata são palavras africanas da excolónias de Portugal ( Jangada )'Sobre o nome comum jangada, parece consensual a atribuição da sua origem ao malaiala, língua do grupo dravídico (ao qual pertence o tâmil), que se encontra especialmente concentrado no Sul da Índia.'

I'm Brazilian. Gramatically correct Portuguese can be easy to learned, but good luck speaking coloquial Portuguese.
