Other Materials I used
Throughout the semester I listened to music and watched videos to practice Portuguese. These are some of my favorite ways to learn and it is easier to make myself practice with these in my free time rather than something like practice quizzes or reading. It is a lot easier to just play songs in the background while I work or put on a YouTube video in between assignments. This way when I was not doing class assignments, I still felt like I was keeping up on my Portuguese. I also learned a lot of new words from this because there are things that do not pop up in our typical vocabulary lists that are more common in songs. I felt like I was learning more everyday or popular language and seeing more actual people who spoke Portuguese. This motivated me to want to learn because I saw more of the real-world connection outside of class. I kept motivated by thinking about the new shows I could watch or new songs I could understand if I got better at Portuguese. There were a lot of things that were difficult for me when learning Portuguese, but I was more motivated to learn when I looked at things like this. I struggled learning how to pronounce things or feeling comfortable speaking but singing along to songs or repeating what I heard in videos helped with that and I feel much more comfortable speaking now.
Vou ouvir mais música brasileira este verão!
My idea board
When I find other interesting things about Brazilian or Portuguese culture (recipes, grammar, travel tips,etc) I add them to my Portuguese Pinterest board. My goal is to travel to a Portuguese-speaking country and practice speaking!
You can find it here.
I listened to a few of these podcasts for class activities. Afterward, I went back and listened to the rest because they were interesting. They talk about protest music in Brazil, and other movements such as tropicália and funk.
Minha professora Silvana recomendou esse cantor, Milton Nascimento. Vou ouvir a musica dele neste verão.
