So cleverly executed

Name: John

The website [is] concise, informative and inviting. I am so happy with all of your material. It is so cleverly planned and executed. You have a great sense of humor and it’s obvious how passionate you are about teaching Portuguese.

Even for a new beginner like me

Name: Rodrigo

I Love it so much in the way you Folks have structured this site, even a new beginner like me ENJOYS LEARNING FROM ALL THESE!. I am learning Brazilian Portuguese, BUT the PORTUGAL SOTAQUE, PRONUNCIATION is much more harder to pick up = IT’S A BEAUTIFUL LANGUAGE.

My girlfriend really appreciates it

Name: Victor

Your content has been a great source of learning for me and my Portuguese girlfriend always really appreciates when I say things in Portuguese. Last time I visited, I even managed a brief conversation with her grandma! Thank you for making the effort of releasing more shorties, it is greatly appreciated.

Engraçado, instrutivo, compreensível, explicado com clareza, recreativo… Adoro os lições do Senhor Rui Sénior!

Incredible content

Name: Anna

I have to say it is incredible content, the shorties are extremely helpful to develop my comprehension and vocabulary! I am spending quarantine in a remote Portuguese village so it is super helpful to be able to pick up some basics of the language!

Good value for the money

Name: Lynette

I cancelled and then missed using the site alot because it helps so much and it is such good value for the money. I decided to come right back. Keep up the good work!

Getting accustomed to European Portuguese

Name: William

Your podcasts have been very helpful in getting me accustomed to how European Portuguese sounds. I have actually been studying both European and Brazilian Portuguese for about two years, but most of the materials (mainly apps) I use are focused on Brazilian. I prefer the sound of European, so I very much appreciate your podcasts to help balance things out, so to speak.

Muito obrigado

Name: Nate

Muito obrigado e um abraço por tudo que fazem de nos ajudar a aprender a melhor língua no mundo. Eu adoro português, principalmente português europeu. Eu estava a procura de um sítio ou lugar onde eu podia aprender mais, mas não conseguia até que encontrei PP e vocês. Novamente, obrigadão.

Compliments on my pronunciation

Name: Michael

I can actually understand a lot of what people are saying around me, as far as words and short phrases. I am not yet able to understand full conversations, but I’m so much farther along than I was last time I was here… I have had a couple people compliment me on my pronunciation, and what’s amazing is that it has been the nasal sounds they have mentioned, being able to pronounce não/são/etc. correctly. One of the most helpful things in this regard was one of the podcasts in which … Rui mentioned that a lot of the vocalizations for him come from the back of the mouth/the throat. That completely changed my ability to make the nasal sounds, for the better. Obrigado por tudo que fazem!

A new aspect to my learning

Name: Dave

Beautiful! These episodes where you guys really scrub out these fine points in pronunciation are just the best! They really have opened up a new aspect to my learning the language.

So grateful

Name: Polina

Hi guys! I just love your podcasts and am so grateful for the work you do every day to help me and other learners to get to know your culture and language better.

So useful, so entertaining

Name: Belen

Guys everything here is so useful… I never thought learning a language could be so entertaining… 😉 Keep it up!

So much more a part of the country

Name: Ray

Really benefited from your lessons. I am delivering a seminar and I decided to translate it (online) into Portuguese. I feel confident delivering the material rather than using a friend to translate as I did last year. The language learning has made me feel so much more a part of the country. Thanks.

Finanças no longer terrifies me

Name: Vincent

I want to thank you all for the terrific support and help you have given to master Portuguese. I can now manage a reasonable conversation with our postman, and Finanças no longer terrifies me. I am able to complete online my tax returns unaided.

Above and beyond any other

Name: Amanda

Thanks for all the work the PP team puts in! This is definitely above and beyond any other language learning service available online.

My life line to the Portuguese language

Name: Tommy

Thank you for continuing developing the site. I use it every day and I love it. Since I have emptied the real life evening courses that are available here…you guys are my life line to the Portuguese language.
