Posts: 437Hi can anyone recommend a private online Portuguese tutor from Brazil?
Searched online but they all want you to pay the website a subscription fee on top of what you pay the tutor.
Obrigado.

Posts: 1957Are Brazilians able to communicate in Spanish-speaking countries?
For example, how would a Brazilian who only speaks Portuguese fare in the DR, Mexico or Colombia? Would they understand Spanish on a reasonable level and make themselves understood? Not talking about complex interactions, but in tourist settings (restaurant / hotel / sightseeing).

Posts: 2278Speaking with and like the locals
It is great to learn proper Portuguese. It would also be great if the locals spoke it. They don't. I have had educated Portuguese friends with me when speaking with porteiros (apartment doormen and gatekeepers) and asked them to help me understand what the porteiros were saying. Just like me, they had no idea.

Posts: 1316Vocabulary Starter
Olá, (name), tudo bem? Viu seu perfil no (.name of the site) why gostaria de mais informações. Poderia por gentileza me informar o valor do seu cachê e se você está disponível hoje à noite?
You may use the above phrase to communicate on Whatsapp to schedule a date with a provider:
Hello, (her name), how are you? I've seen your profile on (name of the website) and would like to get more information. Would you please let me know your rates and availability for this night?
Or you can start a conversation anywhere with the following:
— Você é linda. Qual é o seu nome? You're beautiful. What's your name?
Anyway, you need some basic language to communicate, and to distinguish between your basic Spanish.
There are many suggestions how to do it: use internet resources (youtube, blogs, podcasts); set up captions on youtube and TV channels; subscribe to video resources (example Amazon Prime); learn to type and use diacritics from the beginning; buy Brazilian edition (with the flag in the upper left corner) of Gramatica Ativa 1 and 2 on Amazon; etc.
I'm trying to attach my vocabulary starter for beginners, which may help you to read online ads, etc. It's not perfect by no means, and you can copy and modify it for your needs. If you are a Brazilian national, I apologize that this starter has been skewed into adult content.
Well, Docx shows 'Invalid file' and ISG does not permit me to upload (let me know how I can solve the issue).

Posts: 2246Gringo and alemao
An article published by O Globo in 2007 revealed the origin of Complexo do Alemão. After World War I, a Pole named Leonard Kaczmarkiewicz bought the land. It was not long before the place became known as Morro do Alemão German's Hill due to Kaczmarkiewicz's physical looks a person of stereotypical European fair complexion is informally called alemão, galego or russo in Brazilian Portuguese, while gringo only apply to non-Portuguese-speaking tourists; these terms can be offensive, jocose or intimate depending on context, but are generally impolitely neutral.

Posts: 2278Colloquial Brazilian Portuguese
When I first started traveling to Brazil, I met a Brazilian woman living in the US who lent me the earlier edition of this book https://www.routledgetextbooks.com/t...ort_brazil.php.
It contains conversations I used to practice with my Brazilian friends. Living among Brazilians in Brazil helps, but you obviously will not encounter any many situations as are covered in this book. I have often surprised Brazilians when a situation did come up by actively participating in the conversation instead of being uncomfortable because I did not know what was going on. Same goes for knowing popular Brazilian song lyrics. Those of you whom have been successful with women in your own country and language know where I am headed with this. There are few things sadder than walking by a Gringo-Tute bar and seeing two people with nothing to say sitting across from each other. Then you know it really is only about the money.
