Cultural Tip
In Brazilian Portuguese, ‘da minha experiência’ is a natural way to attribute the source of an example. In more formal writing you might see ‘da minha própria experiência’, but in everyday speech ‘minha experiência’ is perfectly idiomatic. If you want a more casual tone, you can replace ‘preparo’ with ‘faço’ or ‘uso’. Remember that the verb must stay conjugated to match the subject – ‘eu preparo’, not the infinitive ‘preparar’.
