Hi
I am just starting to work my way through the early units but I am also trying to expand my use of the resources. The cognates video and resources was fun and useful. Interestingly it helped when I tried the O Parque Nacional shortie. Obrigado. Keith
Oh, wow, I want to go there! One day, perhaps, it sounds magnificent.
This place is definitely now on my list of places to visit when I return to Portugal.
This park sounds wonderful. I tried to read along with the narrator so slipped and bumbled my way through the pronunciation. I swear, the looser, or sloppier that I speak, the higher my score in pronunciation! I am enjoying the class and between your program and a tutor to practice with, I think I’ll be able to get by when I first get to Portugal.
