Travel Info I want to start learning to speak portuguese is it really as difficult to learn as ive been told? Travel Tips Hello 'little woman', Well - I have heard from experts that it IS a difficult language to learn. I grew up there from the age of 9 - and was fluent within 2 years ... but that's because I was a kid. My parents found it much harder - they were in their 40's. The person who mentioned the verbs being the hardest thing - is so right. For example: in english we say... I go, you go, he/she goes, we go, etc... In portuguese it's different for each person: Eu vou, tu vais, ele/ela vai, nos vamos. I think that's harder than learning english verbs. Then, of course, there's the masuline / feminine words: Generally words ending in'a' are feminine words ening in 'o' are masuline. So, you have to remember to put 'a' or 'o' in front of a noun depending on what it is.... eg: a casa / o carro. A lot of people when learning can tend to put 'o' in front of every noun. It is a lovely language to speak, though - and well worth the time & effort in learning. I want to be there right now!!!! Boa Sorte! Bev Source(s): my source? Escola Internacional do Algarve! Other Travel Tips Not really. Quite frankly, English is one of the hardest languages of all. Portuguese has a structured grammar that is typical of the Latin family of languages and fairly direct pronunciation. Remember that Brazilian Portuguese has a lot of dialect and slang in spoken form, but the basics of sentence construction are pretty simple. It reeaaally helps to have a background in another Latin language- mainly Spanish. depends how devoted you want to be.! I suppose anything is hard if you don`t put your mind to it.! Its not particularly difficult - try bbc.co.uk then go to lifestyles and then languages and you can learn basic sentences and conversation Hi! No it's not..it has just a hard pronunciation..not hard as in difficult to learn but a very strong accent..which sometimes is difficult for people to pick up one...like german for example..but it is easy to pick up after a while and the best part is it is a bridge to other latin derived languages like spanish and italian! On my blog I have a part on some words and phrases you can learn in portuguese! http://experienceportugal.blogspot.com/... http://experienceportugal.blogspot.com/... |
