As a beginning learner, I found out it useful to vary my learning experience by visiting an online store like worten.pt. There I can discover Portuguese wording and phrasing for an online store. Knowing how a typical online store is spelled out in English, it’s fun to discover how it’s spelled out in Portuguese. With a few weeks of Practice Portuguese under my belt, I found I was able to decipher many words and some phrases on my own. It encouraged me to know I am on the right track. Still a long way off from fluency, but a little closer each day.
The motivation tip was just what i needed tohear right now!!! Thank you. I had not been on my computer for some time and logged in instead of on my app. It is a different learning experience. Also I realise how hard I have been on myself – thank you for reminding me to have more fun and that learning a new language takes time! Muito obrigada.
