111 Biweekly Report 5

My language partner and I have started a new activity where we have been watching the Brazillian show called Elite. We watch one episode in Portugese with english subtitles, and the next in English with Portugese subtitles. This has been good, as I have been able to practice both my listening and reading of Portugese. So far from this activity I have been able to pick up on alot of new ways to form sentences. This has mainy been when we watch the show in English with Portugese subtitles, as the translation is not always direct so the sentences in Portugese may be different. For example, In the show the actors say in English "Has it begun?", and the actor responds "Yes". However the subtitles say in "ya comecon?   Ya" Which means directly "Already started? already". I found this to be quite interesting.
