My progress up to today has just been average. I do not believe that my progress so far has been outstanding, as I don't feel I have been able to progress much in terms of my abilities in Portuguese. I have found that although I have been practicing a lot of vocabulary on duollingo, I have learned most of my Portuguese in my Capoiera class where we sing in Portuguese. This has caused me to be more familiar with more random phrases such as jogo de dentro jogo de fora. Which means play inside play outside. Phrases like these I do not believe will help me speak with others, however, these phrases have helped me understand where and how to use certain words. For example, from this jogo phrase I have been able to figure out that jogo bonita means the beautiful game. This phrase is often said about soccer in Portuguese commentary of soccer.
