Btw. Is there a liaison in Portuguese? For example Ele está na cama. sounds to me like Elistanaikama. I don't mind, since I want to learn French as well. Swedish had it too if I remember correctly.

- Já falou muito sobre isso.
I'll try to do the rest later, maybe on my personal thread.

Hahaha. I'm glad I can get the jist of a Portuguese sentence even if I can't speak it well. I picked up that sentence better than expected. "Why is she not something or something mineiro, se she mora in Minas?" I figured out mineiro was the name for the Minas accent. I thought se was either "we, us, one, people". After I that mora meant she dies. But I figured it out to mean you're asking why she's not teaching the way mineiros speak. Then I used my dictionary at hand to translate it. I'm sorry if I messed up in some ways. I have been speaking Portuguese for only a few months. Falo português há três meses. I still mix my Portuguese with what I remember from my high school Spanish.
To answer your question: she said because carioca is the most widely spoken accent, it's best to give Portuguese learners knowledge in the most widely spoken one.
Thanks for the convo. Any convo in Portuguese helps. Just when I think the language is easy, I learn something knew and I find the new challenge is rewarding as well as fun. Amo falar português!
