Ol\u00e1 pessoal! This week, I wanted to give you all some tips on how to stay motivated while learning Portuguese. I started learning Portuguese years ago and I remember coming across some bumps in the road! Here are some tips:<\/p>\n
1. Estabelecer objetivos<\/em> (Set goals)<\/p>\n Do you want to be fluente<\/em> (fluent) in a year? Do you want to be comfortable having a conversation in 6 months? Set realistic, flexible, and organized goals. They need to be able to adapt to your learning so you don’t get needlessly frustrated.<\/p>\n 2. Dar um tempo e respirar fundo<\/em> (Take a breath)<\/p>\n Take a breather if you do get frustrated. Start again tomorrow. That’s why you set flexible goals! Estresse<\/em> (stress) is normal while studying but it’s important to let it go.<\/p>\n 3. Escreva \u00e0 m\u00e3o em vez de digitar<\/em> (Write instead of type)<\/p>\n A lot of the time you will remember (lembrar<\/em> is to remember) easier and faster if you write \u00e0 m\u00e3o<\/em> (by hand). I do this with vocabul\u00e1rio<\/em> (vocabulary) and frases<\/em> (phrases).<\/p>\n 4. Desligue seu celular<\/em> (Turn off your cell phone)<\/p>\n If you’re studying, texting and scrolling through Facebook while you’re reading won’t help you. Turn off your aparelhos electr\u00f3nicos<\/em> (electronic devices) and focus on Portuguese.<\/p>\n Learning a language is a process and takes time. It’s easy to lose motivation sometimes, but use these tips and anything else that works for you to stay motivated! At\u00e9 breve!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ol\u00e1 pessoal!
