Your native language (Русский) 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 →Russian has no articles, so o/a/um/uma vanish. Portuguese wants one before almost every noun — even names in Brazil ("a Maria").
Russian omits present "to be"; Portuguese requires it AND splits it: ser for identity/permanent, estar for state/location.
Russian aspect maps well: perfective ≈ pretérito perfeito (finished event), imperfective ≈ imperfeito (background/habit). Lean on the intuition, but check habitual cases.
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.
