Your native language (Italiano) quietly pushes you into specific Portuguese 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 = donkey in PT but butter in IT (butter = manteiga); guardar = to keep, not guardare (look = olhar); salire ≠ sair (= to leave).
After quando/se about the future, Portuguese uses a form Italian doesn't have: "quando CHEGAR, ligo-te" — not the present or future indicative.
Portuguese conjugates the infinitive: "é melhor FAZERMOS isso" (for us to do). Italian has nothing like it — treat it as a new tool, not an error.
Articles and adjectives agree: o livro vermelho / a casa vermelha.
ser = permanent/identity; estar = temporary/state.
Portuguese nasal vowels are distinctive and hard to hear at first.
