Queridos leitores, just a reminder to check out Portuguese Blog’s other online resources. There’s more to learning with Transparent than just the blog!
Transparent has lots of cool online tools to help you learn Portuguese, and one of those is a Portuguese proficiency test. For those of you who aren’t currently taking a formal course, I highly recommend testing your knowledge with this online test. There are four sections consisting of 10-15 questions each, which include grammar, verb conjugation, vocabulary, and reading comprehension.
Here’s an example of a grammar type question:
Queremos ___________ para a Europa.
A. viajar
B. correr
C. beber
D. ouvir
Take the test here. How did you score? What areas could use improvement that we should focus on here on the blog?
As you may have noticed, every month the Portuguese podcast comes with a BYKI list, which includes vocabulary lists in Portuguese, English translations of the phrases, photos, and voice recordings. You can test your knowledge by reviewing and then taking a test to see if you remembered the meanings. There are also a variety of activities available, including tests like multiple choice and fill in the blanks, as well as games like word whirl and concentration. You can keep track of what you’ve learned and your reviewed lists.
BYKI is a unique way to help memorize vocabulary and learn new words. On Transparent.com, there are two types available. The first type is free, which allows you access to vocabulary lists in 74 languages to learn, practice, and memorize words. The deluxe version allows you access to more lists, to create your own lists, to record your voice, and to upload lists to your iPod.
On Portuguese Blog, you’ll find a list of the latest uploaded lists in Portuguese on the far right column, as well as a featured BYKI list each month with the podcast. Anyone can listen to them!
