How to Say ‘I really enjoyed talking with you.’ in Portuguese

Gostei muito de falar consigo.

goosh-TAY MWEEN-too duh fah-LAR kon-SEE-goo

[goosh-TAY MWEEN-too duh fah-LAR kon-SEE-goo]

💬 Usage Tip: After gostei, you usually get de before the next verb: gostei de falar, gostei de ouvir, gostei de conhecer. In Portugal, unstressed vowels get reduced a lot, so consigo is often said more like (kun-SEE-gu) than the spelling suggests.
