🇧🇷 The magic of MESMO
Finally understand MESMO in Portuguese and start using it like we Brazilians do
This course takes the mystery out of one of the trickiest little words in Portuguese. Now you’ll understand not only what MESMO means, but also everything it can express: contrast, emphasis, agreement, and even surprise.
Why MESMO feels so confusing (and why it doesn’t have to be)
Sometimes it means “same,” other times “even,” and sometimes you hear mesma, mesmos, or até mesmo. It pops up with verbs, with que, with se, and sometimes with nothing at all.
No wonder it’s confusing!
From confused to confident 🙌🏼
This course turns confusion into clarity.
You’ll finally understand how MESMO really works and how to use it naturally, the way we Brazilians do.
Through real-life dialogues, clear explanations, and practical examples, you’ll go from “I never know which MESMO to use” to “I use MESMO all the time and I love it!”

From Me to You
Over the years, so many of my students have asked questions about the same small but powerful words, like MESMO, that seem to pop up everywhere in Portuguese.
They’d say things like, “Wait, I thought MESMO meant same, so why are you using it here?”
I completely understand that confusion. MESMO is one of those little words that carries a lot of meaning, depending on where and how it appears.
That’s why I created this course, to make all of that clear, simple, and natural.
My goal has always been to help learners express themselves naturally in Portuguese, without overthinking grammar or memorizing endless rules.
I’ve been teaching Brazilian Portuguese for almost 20 years, including at UC Berkeley and the University of San Francisco. And I’ve seen how much confidence comes when everything finally makes sense.
So this course is for you if you want to finally get MESMO, hear it in real conversations, and start using it with the same ease we Brazilians do.
