Progress 12/07/2010

Not updated in a while but I'm gettin back on track with my studies. Studied FSI 20 a couple of days ago and have completed half of FSI 21 today which is good revision of the imperfect tense. Only 3 and a half more lessons until I've finished the first course. I've not gotten very far with lingq but I'm 11% complete to my target [which is quite worrying since it's almost half way through the month].

If you read the post below, I'm trying to increase my Portuguese through learning topics at a time. The first topic focuses on 'diet and weight'. Here are some of the main vocabulary and phrases that I have found so far:

O peso - Weight
A caloria - Calorie
A obesidade - Obesity
A perda de peso - Weight loss
A dieta - Diet
A saúde - Health
A gordura - Fat

Emagrecer - To get thin
Engordar - To fatten
Perder peso - To lose weight
Ganhar peso - To gain weight
Queimar calorias - To burn calories
Consumir calorias - To consume calories
Pesar-se - To weigh oneself
Ser obeso - To be obese

Gordo/a - Fat
Magro/a - Thin
Esbelto/a - Slim, Slender

I'm currently reading the site aprendaemagrecer which is very clear and easy to read which has a step by step method to lose weight.
