8 Situations to Use the Verb Ser Like a Pro in Portuguese Video Lecture | Learn and Master: Brazilian - Other languages

whippets well to the bay akia luciana
the street-smart resume when to use the
verb c and when to use Ishta is a topic
that causes learners of Portuguese a lot
of trouble and this is because both
verbs mean the same thing in English
they mean to be using these verbs is one
of the first topics you cover when you
start learning Portuguese but it's also
topic that will probably offer you
challenges throughout your Portuguese
speaking journey even when you're
happily fluent in Portuguese but that
doesn't prevent us from learning the
rules and doing our best right
in this lesson I'm going to show you
eight situations in which you need to
use the verb see next week a publish a
lesson about the verb Ishta so stay
tuned ad on the blog post I'll have
practice exercises for you so I very
much encourage you to follow along with
the blog post there you will find the
examples with their translations the
practice exercises and links to
additional resources ok before we jump
into the lesson I want to offer a few
words of encouragement
based on my experience teaching
Portuguese you may memorize all the
rules you may memorize when you need to
use the verb estar when you used to need
to use the verb see and you may still
make mistakes this is because when you
are in the middle of a spontaneous
conversation your brain is working too
fast to stop and look for the rules just
be patient with your brain it's an
amazing machine making a few mistakes is
just a part of the journey and even when
you are an advanced speaker of
Portuguese you might mix up the verbs
now and then if you come from a language
that doesn't distinguish between C and
esta there's nothing wrong with you
there's nothing wrong with your ability
to learn every speaker of Portuguese
experiences a challenge with these two
verbs that's okay
so let's get to the lesson in this
lesson I'm going to use the verb C in
the simple present tense here
