Tips to remember "gostar":
• Associate "gostar" with the English word "to ghost"—just as a ghost might mysteriously appear, you mysteriously feel drawn to something or someone.
• Remember that in Portuguese, expressing liking always requires the preposition "de" (e.g., "gosto de música" means "I like music").

Explanations:
• "Gostar" functions differently from English "to like." Instead of saying "I like music," you literally say "I have liking of music" (Eu tenho gosto de música), which is shortened to "Eu gosto de música."
• It expresses a general affection or interest without implying deep love.

• Apreciar – to appreciate
