So far, so good: I am making progress slowly. I have learned a few thing such as: How to introduce myself. : Ola, meu nome e Jerry. How to greet people based on the time of day. : Bem dia. : Boa tarde. : Boa noite. How to ask how a person is doing. : Como esta? How to respond if someone asks me how I am doing. : Muito bem, obrigado. : Estou bem, obrigado. How to say Please abd Thank You. : Obrigado (men say it this way) : Obrigada (women say it this way) I am still a little bit confused on the whole division of language based on gender, but I will learn eventually. I have also been practicing the correct pronunciation of the vowels in Portuguese versus English. Many thanks to Washington Vieira. Thanks to everyone who has helped me so far, if there is anything I can do to help yo in return just let me know. I am not perfect, but I will try.
