I’ve been living in Portugal for nearly 7 years. I moved here from America when I married my Portuguese husband. I am embarrassed to have to admit that I’ve been super dependent on him to help me when it comes to Portuguese and translation. I’ve tried so many apps, but all of them only teach Brazilian Portuguese! People like my husband cannot stand Brazilian Portuguese, so the last thing I wanted to do was learn Portuguese the “wrong” way. Every time we looked into finding classes for me, they were always during times I could not attend because I fly to visit my family back in US often. On a whim, I decided googling (again) if there was a way to learn European Portuguese online and came across this website… I have never paid for a service so fast! I’m so happy to finally be able to study and practice. I look forward to the day I no longer have to say “Desculpe, eu não falo Português.” I mean, I’ve learned the basics and can get around. I’m able to understand others when the speak (slowly), but when I try to speak, it comes out very broken. So, I cannot express how excited I am to finally be able to learn the language properly., [ feminine ] / boa'taɾʤɪ/ Add to word list (saudação) cumprimento que se faz de tarde good afternoon, A rough way to think of it is Bom dia (before 12), Boa tarde (after 12), and Boa noite (when it gets dark). In English it would be strange to use Good night as a “hello”, or Good afternoon as a “goodbye”, but in Portuguese, these greetings can actually be used in both contexts!.
