The challenge “Fluent in 6 Weeks” is coming to an end; I should have reached fluency by the end of next week. In this video, I show you what I have been up to for the last 7 days so as to achieve that goal, as well as what my next steps are going to be.
In the video, you will also find a relatively long section of my Portuguese lessons, so that you can judge by yourselves what level I have attained thus far. I also compiled some of the mistakes I have made during my classes.
