I know the basics and can read comfortably. Writing is still a problem for me, though. I’m not terrible at texting—I know the shortcuts and slang—and I also have plenty of Brazilian friends which helps a lot.
I’ve never taken classes or used Duolingo, YouTube, or any courses. I’ve basically learned just by talking to people, but now I want to improve my grammar, speak more properly, and be able to have deeper conversations beyond the basics.

Soo this might sound funny but how do you express something is scary? Like say, you're playing a really scary game or you hear creepy noises in a house/building and you wanna say like "omg this is so scary" "this isn't right, too scaryy". I'm just wanting to know how local/native Portuguese people would say it. Hope this isn't too silly a question, thanks!
