Stop Saying “Estou vindo” ❌ | Master IR vs VIR in Brazilian Portuguese

Confused about “ir” and “vir” in Brazilian Portuguese? Stop saying “estou vindo” incorrectly and learn how native speakers really think. If someone calls your name and you answer “Estou vindo,” you’ve just made a classic mistake that instantly signals non-native thinking. In Portuguese, movement is not about translation — it’s about perspective and location. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to choose between ir (to go) and vir (to come) naturally, using the same mental logic Brazilians use every day. What you’ll learn: ✔️ The Location Point Rule (the key to everything) ✔️ Why “estou indo” is correct — and “estou vindo” usually isn’t ✔️ How Brazilians use vir to create connection in invitations ✔️ Real-life examples (travel, work, daily conversations) 👍 Thank you for watching — and for choosing to learn Portuguese with me! ✅ Enjoying the channel?
