Completed Unit 17-18 of Pimsleur's Portuguese I.

I know I haven't been at Portuguese for a while. I got a bad case of wanderlust, especially with other Latin languages like Italian and French.

But I'm back to Portuguese study. (:

Found a good grammar page to explain Portuguese grammar more in depth:

Descriptive grammar of the Portuguese Language

That sounds like a great idea!
But I think I might need to learn a little more before I'm ready to talk to natives in Portuguese. All I would know how to say is to greet you and ask you for a beer. :P

  • -Completed Unit 3 of FSI Programmatic Portuguese
  • -Completed 19-21 of Pimsleur's Portuguese I
  • -Spent 15 minutes in Mnemosyne, memorizing adjectives and common words in Portuguese.
  • -Took some grammar notes

Out of the 1,000 most common words in Portuguese (list from Unilang Wiki) I have memorized 328/1,000. Not bad, but not good either. Those aren't ALL of the words in Portuguese I know, just the ones on the list, by the way.

Completed unit 03 and 04 of FSI's Programmatic Portuguese. With all of this Italian and wanderlust with Russian and German, I wonder if I'll ever get fluent in Portuguese.

Also, I finally mastered the "an" and "am" sounds in Portuguese. (Vamos, Sandra, Santos.)

Nice to see you're interested in all the same languages that I am! How is the FSI material for Portuguese? I actually have it but most recently I had been working with a book/cd "Aquarela" which is really good.

The FSI material is great! I don't feel that I learn enough each lesson but my pronunciation has improved ten fold with it. :)

And what is this "Aquarela" book/cd you speak of?
