🇵🇹 Slow Portuguese With Maria

Show Notes

Hello, listeners! Welcome to another episode of Slow Portuguese with Maria! 🌟 Today, we’re exploring the differences between three essential Portuguese verbs: "conhecer" (to know/meet), "encontrar" (to find/meet up), and "conhecer-se" (to get to know oneself/each other).

While these verbs may seem similar, each has a distinct meaning and use. In this episode, you’ll learn how to use them correctly in sentences like: ​"Eu conheço Lisboa" (I know Lisbon). ​"Vou encontrar a Joana às três" (I’m meeting Joana at 3 o’clock). ​"É importante conhecer-se a si mesmo" (It’s important to know oneself).

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. You do not need to speak perfectly to have real conversations and connect with people. If you would like to improve your Portuguese with me, you can also book a lesson at slowportuguesewithmaria.com. I hope you enjoy this conversation!
