Hi! I am not sure if I can place the link below in here but as it will benefit many people and is not selling anything here it goes!

In the middle of the page there will be a sign with a red button to click and download the Portuguese lesson, that is surely a very interesting way of learning over 300 words in just a few minutes, some people will feel like a "click" which will wide up minds for learning Portuguese.

The only thing missing is phonetic, but there are contacts to help with it ( practicing where you live is even better, do not be shy and just talk ).

Imagine this; CITY = CIDADE ( remove TY and put DADE instead, that will work for all words that end with TY ).

Example; ETERNITY = ETERNIDADE

CAPACITY = CAPACIDADE

etc

[Gambrinus]

that will work for all words that end with TY

So party is pardade? duty becomes dudade?

This may work for a few words that end in ty, but mostly this method just spells nonsense.

[biffa]

depends on the quantidade of letters perhaps?!

Long ones work better than short ones - for example Pigsty becomes pigsdade which is not good but temerity becomes temeridade which is ok (I think )

Has this post lots its cutting edge?

My mate over there Owen whjo lives on VDM thinks my Portuguese is brilliant, I've always called him "O" and when we play golf on the VDM I and he hits a good one I'll say good shot"O" or do you want a pint"O", you're in the bunker"O" going out tonight"O" works a treat.

That just about sums it up

Putting 'o' at the end of each word only works if you emphasise that word by speaking louder.

Yes VERY LOUDLY & very sloooowly, with an O at the end, seems to do it for most Brit's.

One 'O' that stikes fear into Portuguese hearts is the 'O' at the end of PATO!

Hi everybody! Think about this; CITY = CIDADE and keep going all words that end with "TY" remove that and put "DADE" instead!

Community = Comunidade
