OMG that massive verbs section is amazing! I was just thinking, “how come it’s SO HARD to learn verbs in a foreign language?” Meaning, everyone wants to teach you clothing and food and crap, but no one ever just grinds through the most important thing: verbs. Thanks for continuing to be awesome!

First of all, I would love to thank you for doing such an incredibly amazing job at making learning Portuguese so much easier for me and many, many other people, I’m sure. I’ve struggled for the longest time to find some learning materials that would be easily understandable and accessible, but there’s not a lot of out there. So finding you guys on youtube was super lucky! Your content is great, easily understandable (especially for a non-native English speaker like me) and it is fun! So thank you again for that. You have not only helped me get back into learning Portuguese (…), but it has also inspired me to try some teaching of my own.

Your program is helping me learn new vocabulary and verbs at an astonishing rate. I prefer your program to Rosetta Stone, anyday. Good job!

Thanks a lot (muito obrigada) for all your work. I really like all your podcasts. This one too, I really found the text very good – rich in vocabulary, but very comprehensible, at least, it was good for my level. I love you both.

Best service I’ve found so far! I could not find any affordable and entertaining learning materials in European Portuguese before I came across this site. Thank you so much and keep going! I look forward to B1/B2 levels!
Fantástico!

Thanks for the reply and thank you so much for the tips (The vowel pronunciation video is amazing!) and providing material for beginners. I can’t believe I didn’t know about The Learning studio. I will definitely sign up for that and pass on the tip to my fellow students!

I heard about you through a student that is learning Portuguese with me. I joined Practice Portuguese temporarily just to see the kind of things he is doing with you. I was very pleased with what I saw. I think you’re doing a good job. Congratulations!

Absolutely love your website and program and everything. I went to Lisbon for a conference and found that with a few weeks of exposure before the conference to the European version through your tremendously charming, entertaining content, I was able to understand and make myself understood with ease–I speak Spanish, and have some experience with Brazilian Portuguese so I am not starting from scratch but I have been to Portugal before and found that the language was all but unintelligible. So a big thanks for doing this.

The site is wonderful and a great help to me as I have been living in Portugal for nearly a year now. It is lovely here.
I was led astray before by trying to learn from a site which uses Brazilian speech and had to virtually start again.

This is beyond brilliant!
Verbs have always been confusing to me but in the last half hour alone, the Learning Studio method of clarifying the moods and tenses by adding mouseover tips and adding translated explanations has taken my head out of the gloom. I am so excited and delighted with this!
Thanks so much Joel and Rui, awesome work.

You make each podcast session lively and funny… and that is a “plus factor” for making me feel (and I believe even others) studying Português less difficult, or shall I say, “easier”.
Muito obrigada pelo vosso projecto.

This is just a big thank you. I am really happy with the verbs. (…) The work you have put in to create this site is awesome and much appreciated. (…) The way you have grouped things works for me, I like the breakdown of categories and the repetitive exposure to each verb. Seeing them, then recognizing them, then applying them works for me. (…) I needed what you have done, which is to remove the verbs from other learning activities and just drill them in. I feel my sight vocab is pretty good, I can read the Pt newspaper, but it was the tenses which drove me mad and you are helping me so much.

Thank you for the fantastic work that you are doing with this resource. We have been planning to move to Portugal for quite some time (…) I know that the most important thing that will allow us to properly become part of the Portuguese community is to be able to communicate and that’s where you come in.
Your work on providing the podcasts and videos is exactly what we need to get started and give us the confidence to hold conversations in Portuguese. I have really enjoyed your 3-part videos especially as you seem to have such fun making them.
Please keep up this excellent work. Your efforts are very much appreciated and I’m sure that I’ll be listening to your podcasts for many years to come.
I am so thankful

I just wanted to reach out to thank you for creating this podcast and the comprehensive website I just discovered that goes along with it. I am 26 years old and “fluent” in Portuguese but since having moved out of my parents house, I do not practice nearly enough and have noticed my vocabulary slipping. (…) I am so thankful to have found your podcast and have been listening regularly as a way to practice on my own. (…) I just wanted to express my gratitude for your hard work and hope that this project never ceases to exist.

I thank Rui and yourself for both of these excellent tools and am happy to support you. It is difficult to find quality study material in European Portuguese but you have really filled the void!
