Colours in Portuguese
I’m sure by now you will have realised I like playing with video’s and writing music as well and having my passion for Portugal. The short video below illustrates colours in Portuguese. I find it very useful to bring learning Portuguese into different aspects of my life and to learn creatively. I’m sure many of us can remember learning languages at school where we were force-fed grammar and told to recite vocab until we were bored to tears. As an adult I can delight in finding ways to learn that keep me interested and motivated. My way is writing songs and making little video’s.
There are lots of different things you could try - how about crosswords or devising games with your children like snap and pairs? What about making collages or montages of different words and images? You could try poetry and even mind maps or perhaps learning the lyrics to your favourite Portuguese song - music is an excellent way to learn!
