Excited to learn

Name: Elisa C.

You guys are amazing! Eu moro em Lisboa desde janeiro e os vossos podcasts acompanharam os meus dias e vao faze-lo em futuro! Never been so excited to learn, obrigada

Brought smiles to their faces

Name: Diane P.

I used your website to learn a little Portuguese before traveling to Madeira, Portimão, & Lisboa. What I learned gave me the courage to say at least a few words in Portuguese, which brought smiles to the faces of the people I spoke to. I’m so glad I found your website… many thanks for all the effort and ingenuity you’ve put into Practice Portuguese.

Exactly what I’ve always dreamed of

Name: Emily R.

I feel as if I’ve been going back to university with the caliber of your teaching styles. Be it in grammar, culture, pronunciation, comprehension–you guys have nailed it! Your online program of videos, transcriptions (exactly what I’ve always dreamed of seeing!), quizzes, and cultural lessons has been the first satisfactory website I’ve found to teach just what I want to learn in Continental Portuguese. Young men, you’ve filled the void and made a niche for yourselves. Kudos to you!

Absolutely essential

Name: Michele

This material may be challenging, but it is ABSOLUTELY essential for beginners… [I have] been focusing on hearing/distinguishing the sounds, and I feel confident that practicing this will make it much, much easier to hear – and THEN understand – native speech.

A gem

Name: Jeff C.

Thank you for the great content focused on helping the wider community. This podcast has been a gem and hope more people find it. Excellent work and much appreciated.

Visibly stunned

Name: Jonathan K.

I started using your podcast when I was 22 and I’m 27 now, so it’s been a massive part of my learning process. I actually got a chance to go to Portugal and was pleasantly surprised by how well I could communicate with the people there. I had to use it much more than I had anticipated, and in some of the towns we went to it was an absolute necessity. People were visibly stunned when I told them I was American and asked me how on earth I had gone about learning Portuguese.

 

From the bottom of my heart

Name: Christine S.

You guys are amazing!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do on this site. I absolutely love learning with you two. It’s the best part of my days. Keep up the great work!

Bastante apreciado

Name: Patrícia R.

Agradeço o enorme esforço que fazem para manterem este blog e o facto de ser em Português de Portugal (mais comummente apelidado de Português Europeu) é bastante apreciado, pelo menos por mim. Frequentemente os meus alunos pedem-me isto mesmo, pronúncia e vocabulário de Português de Portugal já que na sua maioria, o que aprece na internet é Português do Brasil.

The best European Portuguese learning site

Name: Graham D.

I love your site. It is without doubt the best European Portuguese learning site I have found over the last 10 years that I have been struggling to learn the language… It allows me to go at my own pace and go back when it’s useful.

Brilliant

Name: Geraldine

These dialogues at the end of each learning unit are brilliant for consolidation of the structures learned in each unit.

So happy he found your project

Name: Mariana

I am Portuguese born and raised. But fate made me fall in love…we’re now engaged and he’s moving to Portugal. He tried to find options to learn and when he spoke to me I’d always sigh and tell him “that… is Brazilian”. I got him a couple books but he found out your website and in about 2 months he’s been soooo dedicated that I am floored by how much he learnt by now! That was amazing! He’s moving to Portugal soon and I am so happy he found your project and shared it with me!

So impressed

Name: Kris C.

I was searching high and low for somewhere to learn European Portuguese but options were somewhat limited. I was so impressed with your learning lab and how fun you make your videos that I had to sign up and try this.

A big help

Name: Susanne W.

Portuguese is quite new for me and I have found your website. All the stuff is wonderful. I listen to your Podcasts in the car and during sporttime whenever I can. I like the YouTube videos very much. Immersing into the language is a big help and a great fun. Really you fill a gap with this!

A ton of resources

Name: Chris S.

As a beginner, it gives me what I need to get started but has a ton of resources to keep me learning and take my education right through to an advanced level. It is such a massive resource and such a complete one.

Relevant and current

Name: Christine S.

Your website is the highlight of my days … When I wake up, the first thing I do is go to your site and practice my Portuguese … I absolutely love your program and I am so thankful that I found it! It feels so personal, and it’s so much fun. The topics of the videos and podcasts are so relevant and current.

Invaluable

Name: Warren B.

Thanks for the amazing work on the learning studio. I’m doing A1/A2 at the moment and the ability to hear and read well enunciated European Portuguese is invaluable. I use the speech to text on my iPad keyboard to fill in the written answers where possible which I think is improving my own pronunciation.

New speaking activity

Name: Chris W.

Finally I have found an online course that really helps me to learn European Portuguese – I find the new speaking activity particularly helpful.

The best tool out there

Name: Eve T.

I have followed Practice Portuguese since before you developed the Learning Studio. You have built up a wonderful resource to learn European Portuguese. It’s by far the best tool out there currently, and it makes learning Portuguese super fun!

Authentic and real listening experiences

Name: Sabine P.

I really like your approach and with so little help for learners of European Portuguese out there you are a real find. I especially find the videos with transcripts very helpful. I did a couple of beginner’s courses in Portuguese and it was always hard to find authentic and real listening experiences.

Very entertaining

Name: Geraldine

I’m a good few weeks in to Practice Portuguese now, and it’s helping me so much! I find it so user friendly and the content is very entertaining. Keep up the good work!

Adoro estes

Name: Timothy G.

Adoro estes episódios secretos! Quero acabar muito mais Units para que eu possa ver, e desbloquear, mais diálogos como este.

Mini-dialogues are very helpful

These mini-dialogues are very helpful, especially for those of us who have not had much practice in listening to spoken Portuguese and trying to comprehend what is said! I very much look forward to them!

Everyday conversation

Name: Dennett

Thank you for the short dialogues, great way to hear new words used in everyday conversation.

The answer to my prayers

Name: Roberta P.

You guys are getting better and better. The little podcasts at the end of each unit is the answer to my prayers, seriously guys this site is so good, thank you so so much.
