    • Incrível bem, eu gosto muito. Tenho saudade de Portugal. A saudade do cheiro, o som, da língua. Sinto falta de tudo isto que é Portugal. Obrigadinha para fazer este filme.

    • Parabens! Muito bom video. Gosto de film e das historias. Uma verdadeira aventura. Saudaçoes das ilhas Canarias. Espanha.

    • Hi guys. Really enjoying your Caminho video, very professional and interesting. My problem is, as a relative beginner to learning Portuguese I try to follow using the translation, but obviously i have to keep stopping and starting the film, almost trying to memorise it, which is virtually impossible!
      Would it work better for me if i just let it run, and listened to the vocabulary, rather than trying to understand everything? Or, as a beginner should I stick to something a little easier to understand?
      Kind regards Roberto

      • I would just let it run and enjoy this one! Maybe you could stop every once in a while if there’s something in particular that you really want to know the translation for, but otherwise I would just use it as an opportunity to listen to the flow of the language and see what the Caminho is like. It’s too much for a beginner to follow all of it. Maybe at some point in the future you can come back to it and watch again to see if you understand a little more. The Shorties are probably a better starting point for beginners. You can sort them by A1 or A2 level and spend more time with those.

    • I read though the transcript first with translation, then watched the video which meant I understood much more of the dialogue. Still trying to learn the different tenses!!
      But its excellent! Thank you.

    • Fabulous! And perfect prep for why I’m learning Portuguese…for our Camino starting in Porto. Love this so much. What time of year did you do the walk?

      • Thanks Anna! We did the walk in July of 2017. If you decide to go in the summer, it makes a huge difference if you can get moving very early in the morning, even before sunrise. It gets hot very quickly during the day, and the coolness of the morning gives you a lot more energy. Also, one of the days, we split our walking between the morning and the afternoon and that made the day a lot easier! But it’s not the easiest thing to plan, finding a spot to stop and rest comfortable for multiple hours in the middle of the day. If you have the budget for it, then checking into some kind of hostel to recover in the afternoon, then doing another chunk of walking in the evening would be worth considering. Good luck and bom caminho!

        • Thanks so much! We’re starting our camino on May 30th and ending June 9th if all goes as planned. My biggest concern is rain during that period. Last year we got rained on a lot in Galicia during that same time frame but on the Camino Frances.

          Muito obrigada,
          Anna

    • I just watched the first part of the caminho video. the only thing I regret was not watching this before. I did the Portuguese route this July and loved it so much. now my goal is to learn Portuguese and the coastal route. thank you for all your work! the synced subtitles are so useful!.
