Many people say that Brazilian Portuguese is one of the most beautiful languages in the world, and I have to agree. I may be a little biased, but I truly believe our language has a uniquely lovely sound. In today’s new video lesson, I’ll share 15 words that I consider some of the most beautiful in Brazilian Portuguese. These are words that not only sound beautiful but also carry a special meaning. Beauty is subjective, of course, but I believe using these words will make your Portuguese even more expressive and charming.

In this lesson, you’ll learn how to use the preposition DE (from/of) and its variations: DA, DO, DAS, and DOS.
DE is usually translated into English as “from” or “of,” though it can have other translations depending on the context.
This preposition appears in many different contexts, but in this lesson, we’ll focus on the two most common: origin and possession. You’ll also learn how to pronounce it with a Brazilian accent.

Today you’re going to learn Portuguese in a super fun way! Let’s see if you can understand “piadas” (jokes) in Brazilian Portuguese.
Understanding jokes in a foreign language is one of the hardest things because you need to understand vocabulary, nuance, cultural references, and wordplay or puns. But don’t worry! I selected simple jokes for our lesson today. These are jokes that would be considered “dad jokes.” In Brazil, we say they’re “piadas de tio” (uncle jokes). I chose seven jokes for this lesson. These jokes only make sense in Portuguese. If you translate them into another language, they probably won’t make any sense at all. I’m going to start with the easiest ones and leave the hardest ones for the end. If you understand the last joke, that means your Portuguese is excellent! Maybe you’re Brazilian and don’t even know it!
Will you find these jokes funny? Let’s see!
Give this episode a listen to have some fun with me telling these jokes! I’m really bad at telling jokes, but I had a lot of fun recording this video. I hope it makes you smile. 😊
