MINIMAL PAIRS

The first reason why you may be mispronouncing words.

CONNECTED SPEECH

When words come together some letters vanish, get married and change.

THE KING

He'll explain why expecting to hear words when we speak in sounds can be frustrating.

Cinderella Portuguese is highly articulated Portuguese. It's nice as a beginner, but real Portuguese is what you need.

Learners usually invest at least a year in learning Portuguese before they realize they can't have a conversation because they can't understand a word of what we say.

"First #iupiii that I share. My husband had to go into medical center to make two appointments. I was able to understand the clerk and translate from her Portuguese to him in English so he could pick appointment times. Did not have to ask if she could repeat to me nor ask her if she spoke English. Felt like a real win! Thank you, Catarina."

"Earlier this week I had an occasion to be in a share-ride for about 20 mins. A Portuguese driver, of course, spoke slowly for me, but we were able to carry simple conversations, sometimes fragmented and other times picking up the words easily, for the 20 mins ride. He told me about his upcoming vacation to Brazil with his wife. It was an environment that required my spontaneity, and I felt very good afterward."

"After doing the Ted talk exercise, I decided to listen to a few more talks in Portuguese. I didn’t use subtitles, just closed my eyes and listened. I am thrilled to report I recognized many swallowed words and phrases and I understood maybe 1/3 of what was said."

10+ foreign languages.
Now back to the first.

   Olá, sou a Catarina

My dad says I only started talking when I was three, which means I spent three years and a few months (in utero) practically just listening. I continued throughout life with my hyper listening skills and learnt 11 more languages*.

Some I can speak better than others (one needs time for daily chores too, right?), but the amazing thing is I can understand some Russian and Macedonian, even though I never studied them. After almost 15 years living abroad, I am now back in Portugal, rediscovering my own language. I'm ready to help YOU find your voice in Portuguese. Shall we?

*before you ask... that's English, French, Italian, Polish, Dutch, Spanish, Swedish, Frisian, German, Mandarin and Hungarian.
