Show Notes
In this episode of Slow Portuguese with Maria, we dive into two commonly used verbs in European Portuguese: achar and pensar. At first glance, they may seem similar, but they serve different purposes in everyday conversations. We explore how achar is more frequently used to express personal opinions or assumptions, while pensar refers to deeper, reflective thinking. I also discuss some common mistakes learners make, such as placing " eu acho" at the end of a sentence and how to correctly express negations using "acho que não" instead of "não acho".

In this episode, I talk with my student Rory about his Portuguese learning journey. We speak about why he decided to learn Portuguese, his goals with the language, his favorite Portuguese food, and much more. This conversation is also a good reminder that learning a language can be difficult sometimes, but communication is still possible even when we are not perfect.
