Motivation to study >.< Dear people, There are days where I lack the motivation to do things that I really enjoy doing. For instance- studying Portuguese. Some days I can study for hours and then there are days where I just cannot get myself to do even 1 hour of studying. Learning a new language is difficult and challenging for some of us. What motivates you to keep going and to keep studying? Aprender portugues é dificil. Eu posso estudar por um longo tempo às vezes mas há dias quando eu não tenho "the motivation" estudar. Eu gosto de aprender português mas às vezes eu estou muito preguiçosa estudar :( Você pode me ajudar achar "the motivation" estudar português?

quiser v. querer So in English there's the 'hope v. wish'. Sometimes it makes more sense to use one and not the other. Does the same thing go for 'quiser v. querer'? When should I use one, and not the other?

Songs and books for beginner Portuguese

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated ^_^

Perhaps there's already a discussion here about recommendations also. 

Qual v. Que or O que I am a beginner at Brazilian Portuguese. Is there a trick to figuring out when to use qual v. que (or o que). I'm not sure if the book I have does a good job explaining it >.<
