Once you’ve got the alphabet down, you can use the dictionary to figure out how words are spoken and how they are used in sentences. The dictionary contains

Portuguese (Brazilian) accents, which give you pronunciation clues to help you along the way. Pronouncing the word wrong can sometimes change the meanings of the sentence or question entirely!

Meet up with a group of native Portuguese speakers (if you know them, of course) and ask that they speak to you strictly in Portuguese. Have them correct you along the way and before you know what happened, you’ll be not only joining in on the conversation, but understanding the language as well!
