Hi, how are you?
Good and you?
It's so not natural...
So today, we're here
because I'm about to have my very first Portuguese lesson
That's absolutely right
Do you have something to specify
Because I know that there are different versions of Portuguese
There is the Portuguese from Portugal, and the one from Brazil
Where are you from?
I am Brazilian, I come from the center of Brazil
It's a state called Goiás
That's where Brasilia, the capital city is
I come from a town called Anápolis
It's not famous
Would you say there is a specific accent in that town...
that the people living there have a special accent?
A little bit, yes haha
I think those who are watching this video
and who speak Portuguese will probably notice
I'll try to teach you without any
Otherwise don't worry, it's part of the charm
What do you already know in Brazilian Portuguese?
Do you know anything?
At first, I didn't want to learn Portuguese
because I didn't want to mess my Spanish
since the two languages are very similar
But I know two or three words
You often say "é isso"
When you say all that, I can say "é isso, é isso"
"That's it, that's right"
That's all I know
It's not bad, it's better than nothing!
But I would like to introduce myself
for the people following me from Brazil
It's important
So "oi" and then after...
How do you say "nice to meet you" ?
Huh, it's complicated!
When one meets someone in Brazil
one says "prazer em te conhecer"
So that's "pleasure to meet you"
Yes, that's right
But do you have "tutoiement"
or "vouvoiement" like in French?
No, we don't have that
Only when it's an older person, your parents or your teachers
we say "senhor"
Instead of saying "você" we say "senhor"
But otherwise, there is no difference between the "tu" and the "vous"
"What is your name?"
"Como você se chama?"
Yes, but you can also say "qual é o seu nome?"
The accent is very difficult for me
You say it well!
Say it again
And the other one, what was it?
"Como você se chama?"
To say "my name is Bong"
So you already saw "chama"
"Eu me chamo Bong"
Or you an also say
"Meu nome é Bong"
How do you say "I am French"
"Eu sou francês"
And if it's a woman, she would say "eu sou francesa"
Now how do we say "I live in Canada"
You're good for someone who tries for the first time
Thank you, that's very nice!
So wait "eu sou francês mas eu moro no Canadá"
Now something very important
"I am a YouTuber"
It's good to be a YouTuber in Brazil
A yeah, it's a good thing?
And on Instagram too?
Yes, YouTubers are very famous
Oh yeah, so it's a good thing we make a video like that
They earn a lot of money
Alright so let's pause for a moment
to talk about you... we talk about my YouTube channel
But you're also pretty active on Instagram
Yes, I like Instagram
But you seem shy about it...
That's it haha
So guys, this is my best friend
Nice to meet you!
How long have we known each other?
Wow!
Your entire lives...
27 years... 27 years?!
Yeah probably
So you are half Brazilian, half French
Born in Brazil, but I grew up here
Ah yeah that's true, you were born in Brazil!
I didn't speak Portuguese before meeting Young Soon
who taught me Portuguese
Because they are a couple, we need to put things into context
We're married
But you learned easily
Yeah, it was very natural
I used to hear my dad speaking on the phone during my childhood
But I didn't speak it myself
Finally with Young Soon, it came very naturally
I didn't feel like I was making any efforts
I think it's rather easy for French people to learn Portuguese
How would you say "my best friend is Brazilian"?
You see, it's super easy
"Meu melhor amigo é brasileiro"
Thanks, can you leave us now?
Already? Just kidding!
Bye honey
You know, when I travel
I love tasting the food of the countries I go to
How would you say, when you taste the food: "it's delicious!"
"É muito gostoso"
Or you can also say "delicioso"
What is traditional Brazilian dish?
I would say the "feijoada"
It's black beans with pork
In Brazil, we eat almost every day rice, beans and meat
There is also the "churrasco" barbecue
Mmmmh it sounds really good
I know there are a lot of vegetables but fruits also
Yes there are many fruits, papaya, passion fruit
Sometimes it's different, French avocados for instance
there are small but in Brazil, there are huge avocados
And we eat them with sugar
We put sugar in them
Yeah, I guess there might be some fruits you don't know
There is the jack which is an enormous fruit that stinks
There are many things to eat
It's crazy!
Because you live in France, that's how you learned French
Do you miss Brazilian food?
Yes but we can still buy stuff here
Because there is stuff from Portugal
Black beans, I can buy them here
There are also Brazilian markets in Paris
Ah yes?
So we can buy things there
But then, just the meat... It's not really the same
Fruits also, there are not the same
I know how to say thank you : "obrigado"
How do you say "thank you very much"
"Muito obrigado"
And how do you say "please"
"Por favor"
For example, in São Paulo [they say it with a different accent]
And in Goiás [we say it with a different accent]
It's funny because it seems like...
Like it's French or American English
In general, when I learn languages, I also ask
how to say "I love you"
How do you say "I love you" in Portuguese?
Do you say that to each other in French or in Portuguese?
More in French...
Ah yeah, why because it's more romantic?
No, because we speak more in French than in Portuguese
So for example, to say "please subscribe to my channel"
"Like, give me a thumbs up"
"Please, like this video"
"Share it"
"And subscribe to this channel"
Thank you very much for this first lesson
I hope I was a good student
Yes, you learn very fast!
And you have a very good pronunciation
So to conclude this video, how do you say "bye"?
"Tchau" so just like in Italian
So I came back from France, it's been a while now
But let's see if I remember everything I learned
