      I have been known to use Google Translate, memorise the phrase and then say it...with phone hidden of course. 😅 Thanks for the emails. I must join one of your live sessions one day. Thanks again for all your efforts. 🙏

    I remember reading Feynman's biography (Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!). He was a very interesting person beyond his scientific genius (Nobel prize, Manhattan project, Challenger SS investigation...). He taught some time in Brazil and one thing he said that made him look good was using several English adverbs and changing the "ly" for "mente". It works many times and does make you look sharp if perhaps a bit formal.

    Tip no.4 is really important and imo ties in with not trying to interpret everything literally. A big part of my learning has been trying to stop my brain from doing this. It’s hard and can be frustrating at times but if I can offer any other beginners advice, it’s to do this too. It has been so helpful and as Liz said it helps you get the rough idea of what’s being said instead of having your brain just freeze and kinda shut down

    My favourite hack is to imitate native speaker's intonation along with their pronunciation. For example, instead of saying "Bom dee-ah!" in the cheery, lilting tone of an English "Good morning!", you instead say "Bom DEEE-uh" in the lower, more matter-of-fact tone that is the normal greeting tone in Portuguese. You can pick this up by listening to customers interacting with the cashier in the supermarket, for example. Speaking in the right pitch and with the right rhythm will make you sound more native and more intelligible to native speakers right away.

    Just a little story about the downside of perfecting pronunciation. I was on a train in France, and an older gent asked me a question. Now, I studied acting and developed a good ear, so I said to him: "Je suis désolé, monsieur, je ne parle pas beaucoup français." I don't remember what words he used exactly, but the gist was "Well, you said that well enough." It started to hit me that my good pronunciation consistently set loose a torrent of French I couldn't possibly follow. I actually started dumbing-down my accent, and memorizing the phrase (and I plan to master the Portuguese equivalent) "Je suis désolé, vous devez parler plus lentement pour moi, mon français est exécrable." ("I'm sorry, you must speak more slowly for me, my French is wretched.")

    Strategic mumble! Halfway through a reply and you realize you can't remember your conjugations? Viemos or Vimos?
    No pause, no slow down, full speed through it with a mumble and onto the rest of the reply, and most of the time the listener won't pick up any issue and their ear will just fill in what you should have said ;-)

    I've just tried #5 for the first time. I read the Bible every day, and I have a Bible app on my phone, which gives me access to all sorts of versions and all sorts of languages. So I called up the psalm I read this morning in Portuguese and read it out loud. OK, a little rusty, but promising, and I mean to make this a habit.

    How is having good pronunciation a hack? That's just speaking the language correctly.

    • @rickchandler2570
      @rickchandler2570 Před 3 měsíci +3

      Sure if you take that as is without context. What she’s saying is that getting really good with pronunciation first will allow you to say phrases correctly without having to know that much of the language yet. I know several people in Portugal that know a LOT of vocabulary and grammar but their pronunciation is horrible. That kinda defeats the purpose and makes you hard to understand but doing it the other way goes much further until you can learn the vocabulary.
