Your native language (Português) quietly pushes you into specific Italian errors. Here are the ones to watch — and the fix for each. This is exactly how WordSlick coaches you, every day.
See my full report & start free →burro = butter, not donkey (asino); salire = to go up, not to leave (sair = uscire); guardare = to look at, not to keep (guardar = tenere).
Portuguese doubles are mostly spelling; Italian ones change the word (sete vs sette, pena vs penna). Hold the doubled consonant audibly longer.
Drop the Portuguese nasalization: não-style vowels don't exist in Italian. "Non" is a plain o plus a fully pronounced n.
Don't map estar → stare wholesale: Italian says "È felice / è stanco" with essere. stare survives mainly in health ("sto bene"), location idioms and the progressive ("sto mangiando").
Articles and adjectives agree: il libro rosso / la casa rossa.
The article changes with the noun’s first sound (lo studente, gli amici).
