Great Documentary about Brazilian Samba.
This is a great documentary (in Brazilian Portuguese) about this great Samba composer (Sambista) Bezerra da Silva, and how the day-to-day life inspires the production of new songs.
The language used in this video is mainly Brazilian Portuguese slang which might be a bit difficult for some of you, but it's worth watching anyway, and the way Samba is made is amazing!

The evolution of languages
Just about 4 minutes of video explaining how "over the course of human history, thousands of languages have developed from what was once a much smaller number. How did we end up with so many? And how do we keep track of them all? Alex Gendler explains how linguists group languages into language families, demonstrating how these linguistic trees give us crucial insights into the past."

The History Of The Portuguese Language
Olá.
These are two great videos about the History of the Portuguese Language.
They are spoken in Portuguese (different accents) but with subtitles! Isn't this great?
So, why don't you practise your listening while you are enjoying them?
(Just a tip for your learning: Stop the videos and analyse each sentence. Look at the verbs - tenses - and relevant vocabulary - such as what words are used to link two sentences together. Mind the vocabulary that you are likely to be using when talking about other things - write them down and ad them to your list.)

Two funny expressions in Portuguese.
Boa noite, tudo bem?
The other day I was talking to a friend of mine and one funny expression came along in the conversation:
"A galinha da minha vizinha era sempre melhor do que a minha."
This literally means "My neighbour's chicken was always better than my one." However what it means in Portuguese is:
"The grass was always greener on the other side."
Very funny, isn't it?
Today I was talking to another friend and he said something very funny too, yet very common which was:
"Ele fala pelos cotovelos."
Which literally means "He talks by his elbows."
Can you figure out what it means?
OK, let me help you. That means:
"He talks like a parot - he never stops talking."
When you have a change to practise your Portuguese with your friend of relatives, try to bring these expressions to the conversation. You'll see they will be impressed with your Portuguese! ;-)
I just wanted to share this with you today...
Tchau!
