Brazilians niggas be like "Wow Portuguese is a hard language and you learned it? Congratulations!" to foreigners who learned Portuguese. It's quite an easy language desu
>>
ever since I found out Portuguese only has half the amount of words as French, Italian, and Spanish I've been looking at them weird and kind of want to study native speakers
>>

What the fuck are they doing to my boy Jonny?

Brazilians love to feel "special", so they push this cope that "Portuguese is da hecking hardest language on earth, we are so special!!" So they feel more unique.

Brazilians are retarded, they think Brazil produces every single food item on earth, world's farm o algo, obsessed Americans would starve if not for us, we are so special!
>>
>>220988073
Except it doesn't.
Anyway, it's next to impossible to "count" the number of words in an language. All such counts are pseudoscience, usually based on dictionaries and such, i.e., innacurate.
>>
>>220988103
Why do you all hate on firstie vegans/vegetarians for turning the rainforests into soy fields when most of the soy grown in Brazil is used to feed livestock?
>>
>>220988111
then why do you need english to get your point across, don't be shy
>>
>>220988052
There’s a big difference between written and spoken Portuguese, and Brazilians assume you’re learning it the same way we do in school, focusing on grammar instead of the basics. We can usually tell right away when someone isn’t a native speaker, because most people never fully learn all the sounds. You’re not at a native level if you say things like “massan” or “pau” instead of “pão.” We usually don’t point it out though, because we’re trying to be polite
>>
>>220988126
We are retarded cucks
We use english Terms even when there's a Portuguese word for it
>>
>>220988138
>massan
What's that?
>>
>>220988123
Never heard about that, lefties think it was work of the white devil (which it is)

>massan
Huh??
>>
>>220988126
We don't.
All languages have barbarisms, including English.
You sound low IQ and monolingual.
>>
>>220988138
>>220988052
Also when you feel like you’ve got Portuguese reading down, give Os Lusíadas and Os Sertões a try. They’re school reading for us

Why are you learning Portuguese
>>
>>220988201
Guimarães Rosa's novels are a hard task for foreigners. He did invented a lot of words in his novels.
>>
>>220988208
Because I learned Spanish and it's right there.
>>
>>220988208
Bunda
>>
>>220988052
Then why do literally all foreigners sound like shit and you can always tell they are PSL?
>>
>>220988268
Same reason why Brazilians tend to sound like fags when they speak English - Interference from their native language
>>
>>220988208
like >>220988222 said, although I changed my mind even though you guys actually have enough media to justify learning it "just because".
I can already understand "centro-oeste" natives because they sound crispy, but Sicilian sounds closer to Spanish to me, even more so than catalan, so I just now study Italian but lean more towards southern stuff
>>
>>220988073
Word quantity is a meme desu, it's not like a native French speaker from the ghetto of Marseille or a Parisian Banlieu is using any complex vocabulary past the 4000 words you usually need for daily convo.
Then there's shit like German where they go "oh you poop and you piss at the same time, ja? Wir haben a wort for that, it's Shitpissen!"
>>
>>220988290
It's not the accent that’s the problem, it's that most people don’t actually speak it right. If you miss the nasal sounds or mess up the genders, it sounds off. Portuguese is super nasal, so those mistakes really stick out.
>>
>>220988344
Oh well that makes sense. The nasal sounds in Portuguese don't exist in most languages as far as I know. Genders are a familiar concept for many languages but different objects have different genders depending on the language. Or you can have English which doesn't have grammatical gender at all

he's probably counting the lemmas needed to be "fluent"
>>
>>220988566
No, he's probably repeating some bullshit he read on twitter once ou algo.
>>
Now that you understand the language are you enjoy the music?
>>
>>220988613
Yes. I enjoy MPB and some Samba. I think Sertanejo and Funk Carioca is dog shit though.

gordo careca

>>220988290
You can find many Brazilians who speak English with no accent, but you can never found foreigners who speak Portuguese like a native ever
>>
>>220989321
>You can find many Brazilians who speak English with no accent
LMAO

you will never speak english correctly
you will always be a mexican
>>
>>220989282
You CAN’T just ignore nasal sounds and diphthongs in Portuguese. They actually change the meaning of words, so people might not understand you at all. Regional accents don’t sound like foreigners either. If you speak like that, you’ll stand out in a bad way, like asking for “pau” when you meant to order something to eat
>>
>>220989461
save for chinese, tonal languages are primitive
>>
>>220989493
Your IQ is rather low.
>>
>>220989493
Portuguese isn’t a tonal language. These examples aren’t about tone, they involve entirely different sounds. Words like “mao” and “mão”, “nau” and “não” and "avo", “avó” and “avô” differ in pronunciation, not just pitch
>>
>>220989321
i dont think this is inherent to the language. i think its that there are far more portuguese speakers learning english since being a child, compared to english-speakers learning portuguese since they were a child.

anyone learning any language at the age of 30 is probably fucked in terms of accent development.
>>
>>220989461
E se eu realmente queira pau de verdade? Isso me faz baitola??
>>
>>220989620
sounds tonal to me
>>
>>220989651
This. No one learns portuguese at an early age barring people raised in Luso cultures as well as diaspora.
>>
>>220989668
yep. the only portuguese i know who speak English, exactly like americans...guess what, they were born in america or lived there for several years as children and moved back to portugal.
>>
>>220988103
That's cute desu
>>
>>220988052
>It's quite an easy language desu
It's easy to learn but you'll probably never sound native
>>
>>220988403
ã = un as in hunter
ẽ = en as in vendor
ĩ = in
õ = on
ũ = oon as in goon
ão = un as in hunter + o as in though
õe = on + eh

Brazilians, in most cases, don't differentiate between 'an' and 'am', they would sound the same in 99% of cases. I'm sure in some random accent or some random word there is an exception, or in Portugal/Angola/etc
>>
>>220990993
Also, in some accents, 'em' gets pronounced as 'en-in'. Like the word 'bem' becoming 'ben-in'

Also, I remembered a good example of the 'm' sound. The word 'uma' (one, feminine) gets pronounced as 'oon-ah', 'oon-ma' or 'ooma' depending on the accent. In some old texts you can even find it being written as 'ũa'
>>
OI mano
That's the only Brazilian I know

I agreed with you and already added what I had to add, there is no and
>>
>>220989651
Don't know about Portuguese, but there are plenty of Brazilians who learned it as adults and sound native
>>
>>220998732
I learned Portuguese as an adult and I have an accent, although it’s quite light and easily understood.
The Brazilians who learned English as adults all have a noticeable accent in my experience
>>
>>220989652
Sim.
