I Studied Portuguese for 6 Weeks… Am I Fluent Now?

Six weeks ago I embarked on my first language challenge: learning Portuguese in 6 weeks. The goal was to reach fluency within this timespan. Until now, I have been documenting my journey consistently. I would post a weekly update explaining the challenges I was facing, showing my progress and laying out the plan for the upcoming days.

Now Doomsday has arrived. It is time to evaluate the level I have reached and to judge whether I am now fluent or not. I do that with the help of some excerpts of my Portuguese lessons; I show parts where I was summarizing a piece of the class material on the spot, and others where I make mistakes.

00:33 My Biggest Mistakes
3:25 Lesson Excerpts
5:37 Lesson Blunders
9:27 Did I Reach Fluency?

If you are trying to learn Portuguese, then I would encourage you to try out Márcia, the teacher that helped me out on this challenge. She was truly excellent; without her, I probably would not have reached the level I currently have. Find a link to her profile here: https://www.italki.com/teacher/4485527
