I grew up speaking Portuguese, so I never had to think about it.
But when I learned English, I realised how weird it feels to be on the outside of a language. You understand a bit, you miss a bit, and you’re always slightly behind the moment.
What helped me wasn’t rules or studying harder. It was being around people, listening to how they actually speak, and slowly letting the language feel normal instead of foreign.
This is me showing that process in reverse.
Not teaching Portuguese like a school subject, but sharing how it actually sounds, moves, and shows up in real life. The little things people do and say without thinking, that make conversations feel natural.
The goal isn’t to sound perfect It’s to feel comfortable. To understand what’s going on. To respond without forcing it. If you go through this properly, you don’t just learn Portuguese you start moving like a CRIAAAA!
