That's ok, according to the video clip most native speakers won't either.  :P  ;)

Listening to the Volcano podcast I picked out two words so far. garrafas e água. I don't know if he was talking about a bottle and said something about water shortly after or if he was talking about an actual bottle of water but I picked up on it. Fascinating, despite not really following along well...

I seem to have hit a wall. I can get through the lessons but it's more getting things wrong until I memorize an answer and then repeating that process over and over again for each excercise in the lesson.

Doing that wouldn't bother me if I seemed to be doing it with decreasing frequency, but that's not the case. I do it every damn time and I'm getting terribly frustrated. Maybe my pattern recognition software will start running again soon. I'll stick with it for now.

It's things like using 'da' or 'do' instead of 'a' and 'o'. Question structure is very challenging for me too. I'll try to put something more cohesive together...

Ok, depends a little on the context but 'da' and 'do' are usually used when something belongs to someone, it's basically 'de a' and 'de o', respectively...and is sort of equivalent to the 's in English.  'O' and 'a' are the. For instance:

A casa do Jumbojak.

The house belongs to Jumbojak (Jumbojak's house) so we use 'do' (masculine).

A lot of less fluent Brazilians would translate the second sentence rather literally and say "The Jumbojak's house", it's a common type of error around here.
