Passed the B1 CAPLE test

Name: Moty

I have been going through the units and I learned a lot from this website. I completed all of the units and all the shorties that were available up to more or less October of last year. I even passed the B1 CAPLE official test with great scores.

The best thing since sliced pão!

Name: Johanne

This app is the best thing since sliced pão! I have tried others that advertised Portuguese but it was always Brazilian. Not to mention how lessons are set up, reviews and all the other features that make Practice Portuguese so much fun! Being French, I am used to gender and different verb endings. But pronunciation is a whole other ball game. Bravo! Obrigada!

I can’t get over the quality

Name: Elliott

I can’t get over the quality of the program – not only the effectiveness of the teaching methodology, but how much thought has gone into anticipating and answering questions. It’s very impressive. On top of that, the responsiveness of you and your team is remarkable.

Best possible online program

Name: Jon

I firmly believe that your program is the best possible online program for self-study and far surpasses everything else that is out there. Your curriculum is good, the lesson size is good, explanations are great, the stories/dialogues are wonderful and inventive and the smart review makes it possible for students to master and use what they learn. … Whatever you do, keep up the great work. Thanks to working daily with your program for sixteen months, the first online tutor I tried out didn’t know what to do with me.

Extremely helpful

Name: Christopher

Being an absolute beginner, I like and appreciate how you have structured your website. In particular the audio playback in both slow and normal modes, is extremely helpful.

Beyond belief

Name: Judy

I am so impressed with Practice Português. I first I was just grateful that Joel and Rui had made it up and with such humor and style. Now that it has grown and grown it is beyond belief. The whole team … right on time and really helpful.

OMG

Name: Erica

OMG This is the best program on the market by 1000%

Human attention

Name: Elias

I like the human attention from Practice Portuguese. I can ask a question or suggest something, and I always get a meaningful reply, reasonably quickly.

Meaningful interactions

Name: Eric

Thank you for your wonderful language program which I thoroughly enjoyed. My goals were limited: to speak enough Portuguese to function in restaurants, grocery stores, asking directions as I walked the Caminho Portugûes this past October.
The Portuguese I learned helped me to have many meaningful interactions during our stay in Portugal, in many situations that would have been frustrating if I had not known basic Portuguese. People were generally very happy that I had taken the time and effort to learn Portuguese. In fact, most people were completely surprised, impressed and pleased … even a little language learning can transform a visit into a higher level experience in which their is true connection and sharing of experiences with locals rather than being a tourist who never meets anyone.

I’m doing really good

Name: Arun

You guys are really means alot to me, i used to face a lotta problems in here by langauge, now i started learning from you guys and im doing really good

The only serious app to learn European Portuguese

Name: Thomas

Thank you guys for all the awesome content and learning material you put out on this website and on youtube. As far as I know this is the only serious app to learn European Portuguese and it happens to be super well made and your passion for teaching language transpires through it.

Real Portuguese

Name: Greg

By the way your site is fantastic!!! It is perfect for my style of learning and it is full of real Portuguese. … The most useful thing on your site is where you have a short video of somebody saying a phrase naturally. It really helps to mimic the lip and mouth movements and shapes. It is short so it can be copied and practiced. That is great!

Improved by leaps and bounds

Name: S.J.

Your course is brilliant and my pronunciation has improved by leaps and bounds. I can actually make myself understood (most times) now, thanks to your wonderful course.

We passed!

Name: Beatriz

My husband and I subscribed to Practice Portuguese from April to September in preparation for our CIPLE 2 test in September. We just found out we passed! Could not have done it without you! Your program is very well structured and engaging. The interactive nature is great as one progresses from level to level adding grammar and vocabulary, loved it! The listening part is key for passing the test!!! Thanks for helping us pass the exam! We would highly recommend your program to anyone

Muito divertido

Name: Isabel

É muito bom e muito divertido – aprender é mais fácil quando se ri 🙂

Helpful and insightful

Name: Yakov

Thank you for this year, I was not so avid learner, but your course is very helpful and insightful, especially for a beginner like me.

Diverse and fulfilling

Name: Kyle

Thank you for creating this program. I’m having a lot of fun with it. It is so much more diverse and fulfilling than the normal language apps. I appreciate you!

Careful consideration of the nuances of Portuguese

Name: Jane

My mother was a teacher and your videos reminded me of how she made learning languages fun. I appreciate your careful consideration of the nuances of Portuguese. Bravo for the effort you put into your videos! I look forward to continue my learning!

So that my cousins never laugh at me again

Name: Alyssa

I appreciate everyone at PracticePortuguese.com. THANK YOU for offering lessons in continental Portuguese so that my cousins never laugh at me again for using a Brazilian expression.

Superior learning experience

Name: Kristina

I’m nearly to the end of the A1 lessons and wanted to say how much I’m enjoying this app. I previously learned Italian on my own using Duolingo, Rosetta Stone and Pimsleur, and this is by far a superior learning experience!

Saved me on several occasions

Name: Eric

Thank you for a great experience using your program. I spent 3-4 months learning Portuguese prior to 2 weeks in the country. … Obviously there was not expectation of becoming fluent in that amount of time, but my language skills saved me on several occasions when the local person could not or would not speak English. … The amount that I learned helped me to enjoy my experience, enjoy the culture and enjoy the people.

Treated like a local!

Name: Chantal

I would like to thank you for the amazing course and your youthful enthusiasm. I enjoyed learning Portuguese very much and made quick progress, enough to be able to have a long conversation with a taxi driver and going to restaurants, speaking Portuguese and… being treated like a local! I visited Lisbon 3 years ago and Porto this year, which motivated me to learn the language and culture. Practice Portuguese was absolutely fantastic for this.

It may be the best language learning app that exists

Name: Matthew

This is not only the best app to learn European Portuguese, it may be the best language learning app that exists. … It marries teaching strong foundational grammar with the app progression. It is fun, concise, encompasses multiple learning methods, and the pronunciation is so helpful. I am learning so much.

Ótimo

Name: Oz

“Shorties” são ótimos, e o suporte com tradução, expressões, vocabulário me ajuda muito. Eu também gosto da gíria.
