Excellent way to view Ser & Estar. I remember a Spanish teacher ages ago telling me there are books written on the subject. One of the things I love most about learning a language is how you reflect differently on your mother tongue. Yes, somethings don't make grammatical sense in the language you are learning - but then you realize how many things make absolutely no sense in English - and how do you explain that to someone who is trying to learn? Language is so much more than communication - it's a window into the culture of a people.

Sou português e não explicaria melhor a diferença entre os verbos ser e estar. Os meus parabéns! E, se me permite a ousadia, sugiro o canal do YT @marco neves cujo autor é professor e nomeadamente faz vídeos sobre a língua portuguesa. Ainda que em português e não sabendo bem o seu domínio do idioma, talvez ache interessante.

Desejo-lhe muito sucesso.
