"Ela é uma menina."

Translation: She is a girl.

[UnkownSco]

He = ele / she = ela.
Male and female.

I got this right but my phone does not allow for the accent punctuation.

[sin-de-siecle]

Check your phone's keyboard or language settings. Lots allow you to add a language - such as Portuguese - which can sometimes allow you access to things like accents.

Wow, try to change your keyboard language (I don't know if it is possible to all the dispositives, but I think it is ;))

[Faith282280]

How come ele and ela sound so similar? I get confused when I'm typing in Portuguese which one they are saying

[frank.e.lo]

I get confused with the he nd she but I'm getting better

[UnkownSco]

We also have difference in plural.
English uses "they" for both male and female. Portuguese we have "eles" for male plural and "elas" for female plural.
