g5665 Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Well...the idea is not original and is not only mine...but since we have a forum for English and other for Thai language...and I know many people in Thailand would like to learn some words in Latin languages (Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, French, etc...), me and Puma decided to start something here? I know idea where to start?perhaps with a list of words?in Portuguese?with English translation Hope some other people contribute to the forum?posting words and sentences?in this languages. With translation either to English? Thai or any of the Latin languages? So, let?s start with some basic words in Portuguese?words used in daily life? _____________________________________________________________ BOM DIA ? Good morning BOA TARDE - Good afternoon BOA NOITE - Good evening OBRIGADO - Thank You SIM ? Yes NAO ? No COMO TE CHAMAS? - What is your name? EU CHAMO-ME Joao ? My name is Joao (Ok, now something for first dates) QUAL E O TEU NUMERO DE TELEMOVEL? ? What is your mobile phone number? (very important lol) ES MUITO BONITA ? You are very beautiful ONDE VAMOS - Where we go? (lol) ____________________________________________________________ Latin friends?add the versions in ur own languages?perhaps in 1 or 2 months we can make a small dictionary?

g5665 Posted April 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Today i will publish the first lesson of Portuguese i gave to my gf. This was last week...and was the first time she tried to speak Portuguese... Quite amazed with how easy is for Thai people to catch the right tone in Portuguese language... the only problem was with the "r" tone, which in Portuguese is quite hard to master. So, I started my lesson with a easy way to deal with the ?r? problem? Just try to pronounce this? O rato roeu a rolha do garrafao do rei da Russia?? This is something (don?t care about the meaning so much) we try to teach the foreigner students to master the ?r?... Since you can say this well?trust me, your trough will be vibrating with ?r?s?? lol Off course?after 1 hour of laughing, I decided to teach her something more useful? We starded with: Eu gosto de ti ? I like you Como te chamas? - What is your name? Eu chamo-me Ning ? I?m Ning Quero comer ? I want to eat Gostas de dancar? ? Do you like to dance? After the lesson we went out for dinner...and to HRC... lol? that was her subtle way to tell me she was hungry...lol :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
