Did you know Brazilian Portuguese is very different from European Portuguese? One of the major differences is the accent, but there are also many differences in grammar and vocabulary.
Today I'm going to have a chat with my friend Nuno Cramês. Nuno is Portuguese, so today you’ll have the opportunity to hear and perceive the difference between the Brazilian accent and the Portuguese accent. We are going to talk about the differences between Brazilian Portuguese and Portuguese from Portugal, and we’ll also talk about some differences in vocabulary, and about Nuno's experience living in Brazil.

Hi everyone, Virginia here.
What would you do if you won the lottery? (O que você faria se você ganhasse na loteria?) In this question, I used the conditional tense and the past subjunctive tense. These two tenses are commonly used together. In today's episode, I will explain the most common use of these tenses so that you can use them easily. :)

Hi everyone, Virginia here.
Today we’ll have a Q & A session. In this episode, I'm going to answer three common questions that I get asked often:
1. How long does it take for a person to learn Portuguese and speak fluently?
2. Is there any difference between Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese?
3. How can I improve my pronunciation?
As of today, I'm going to make a Q & A video per month. If you want me to answer your question in the next video, leave your question in the comments section or send me an email to virginia@speakingbrazilian.com.
Your teacher,
Virginia
