I was having a laugh at how seriously he seemed to be taking himself in this video but then the last few seconds of it when he goes to put the sword away made me warm to him. How do you get it? I got the list from a site called Hackingportuguese now defunct but I took out a couple of words that I saw that were Brazil-specific and a couple that looked like they were at least in European Portuguese only used as adjectives, and replaced them with random nouns from a Memrise deck, to bulk it up to a thousand again. The last version , written 3 years ago, was given the once-over by my teacher Cristina of the excellent Say it in Portuguese podcast who has fine-tuned it, adding some tweaks, and suggesting a few exceptions other than the ones on my original list. He has made a name for himself in the popular pop genre with his contagious melodies and memorable hooks.
