Ol\u00e1 a todos!<\/em> Hi, all! Nowadays, there are muitas maneiras<\/em> (many ways) to learn Portuguese beyond the good old coursebook. You can se matricular em um curso<\/em> (sign up for a course), contratar um professor particular<\/em> (hire a private tutor), befriend a native speaker and exchange messages, use language learning apps, ouvir<\/em> (listen to) podcasts and music, assistir<\/em> (watch) movies. The list goes on.<\/p>\n

Quem seguir nas redes sociais (Image by Biljana Jovanovic from Pixabay)<\/p><\/div>\n

They are certainly all helpful in their own way. But today my plan is to introduce you to a more unusual way to expand your conhecimento<\/em> (knowledge): by using redes sociais<\/em> (social media). I’ve rounded up as melhores contas<\/em> (best accounts) on Instagram, Youtube and TikTok that produce some interesting, amusing and educational conte\u00fado<\/em> (content) about Portuguese language and Brazilian culture. And if you’re not too big on social networks, don’t worry! You don’t have to be active or even criar uma conta<\/em> (create an account) to browse, so you can still have some fun while you aprende<\/em> (learn). So if you want to hear more about quem seguir<\/em><\/strong> (who to follow), check out below.<\/p>\n

Olga do Brasil<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With over half a million seguidores<\/em> (followers), Olga started her canal<\/em> (channel) about two years ago. The Russian Youtuber offers viewers her overall impressions and reactions – in Portuguese!- about random assuntos<\/em> (topics) related to Brazilian culture, celebrations, food, music, language and vida cotidiana<\/em> (daily life). It is also entertaining to watch her compare certain aspects between Brazilians and Russians. We are vastly different, but we do have a lot more in common than we think. Watch her videos here:<\/p>\n

Greengo dictionary<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Literally speaking, it should be a dictionary for estrangeiros<\/em> (foreigners), but one might even argue that this page only makes sense for Brazilians. And Greengo dictionary<\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a0definitely\u00a0hugely popular among us, with its deliberately tradu\u00e7\u00f5es ruins<\/em> (poor translations) of English phrases that refer to our country’s current events, history, celebrities, public figures, geography and memes. Sounds like a lot to take in? I bet their clean layout with imagens<\/em> (pictures) and a short translated text could help you entender<\/em> (understand) a little better what is going on, even if it is a little mais avan\u00e7ado<\/em> (more advanced). Either way, Greengo dictionary\u00a0could be enlightening or just confusing, but it is worth a shot.<\/p>\n

Eduardo Trist\u00e3o Gir\u00e3o<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Now for some local color, Eduardo Trist\u00e3o Gir\u00e3o’s perfil<\/em> (profile) is an Instagram hidden gem, mandatory for anyone even mildly interested in Brazilian culture and comida<\/em> (food). Gir\u00e3o is an award-winning journalist and food critic, but his whole ideia is to keep things simple. He focuses primarily on regional cuisine, artisan production and traditional ingredients, especially queijos<\/em> (cheese). Navigate his older stories for truly mesmerizing series on typical pratos<\/em> (dishes) and onde e como<\/em> (where and how) they are made.<\/p>\n

Gringos no Brasil<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To wrap it up, TikTok and Instagram are not short on accounts of gringos<\/em> (our slang for foreigners) to talk about what it is like to viver<\/em> (live) in Brazil. With lots of piadas<\/em> (jokes) and a wonderful sense of humor, these creators use TikTok’s characteristic fast-paced video style to share their experiences and give dicas<\/em> (tips) on traveling and speaking Portuguese. Plus, you can passar horas<\/em>\u00a0(spend hours) watching without even noticing. Confira aqui:<\/em><\/p>\n
