I’m almost as excited as you and Rui must be about this. As a former TEFL teacher, I can already see that the Learning Studio promises to be really useful and fun. I still need to work on my verb conjugations so will definitely be making the most of this opportunity. I’m hoping that this will be the tool to finally get my husband to work on his Portuguese so I’ll see if I can persuade him to test it out as a false beginner.

I truly enjoy your podcast, it’s a fantastic resource in light of the lack of EP resources in the internet (…) Thank you very much!

Thanks for your Leap of Faith video. I have ran through it. It was good and I can see that you both put a lot of work into it.
The coverage of the grammar and pronunciation too was good. Not too heavy. (…)
Anyway keep up the good work.

Practice Portuguese is a great service and it was invaluable in helping me prepare for my trip to the Azores.

I’ve been listening to the podcasts for some time now but have recently become a premium member and wish I had done so ages ago. If I can dedicate myself to listening to podcasts and doing exercises every day, then my portuguese will improve quickly. This is a very helpful and innovative format. Thanks guys.

You are awesome. Loved the video, and plan to watch it and learn from it, and the pdf’s. I live upstairs from a Portuguese grandma and grandpa..we often try to chat..usually more of them talking and lots of sign language. I love that your videos are spoken in portuguese with the transcripts..great concept! Your hard work really shows, and is greatly appreciated!

obrigada!

Gostei da aula, obrigada! (…)
Com o video é muito mais fácil compreender o vosso inglês e português
Vou aproveitar esta resposta para agradecer o vosso trabalho. No ano passado eu escutei os vossos podcasts para aprender a pronúncia e falar um pouco de português (o verdadeiro português!), eu precisava aprendê-lo para ir à Angola e aqui em Itália encontrava só professores que falavam o português do Brasil…

Bravo!

Bravo! This episode was great. I really appreciate the conversation, the explanations. It felt like I was in a class. And this is just what I needed to return to my studies, and now it will be more intense than before. (…) Am going to listen to a podcast every morning, study my verbs, and plan to have a 30 minute conversation daily with meu marido or countless other Portuguese friends. I am determined to set up my own home schooling! At 70, this is not easy but thank you both for helping me “find my voice”.

I have really enjoyed all the content you have put out recently and will continue to recommend you to friends and other people learning Portuguese. (…)
Thank you so much, I have learnt a great deal from you guys and think you are really filling a niche that isn’t covered by other language learning sites.

´I just wanted to say how much I’m enjoying your podcasts – particularly the new, longer versions with the explanations as we go. I also love the animated video podcasts. I have been a member of your site for a while now, but am finding that I’m using it even more than before since the addition of these new formats.
Thank you again – your site is a brilliant tool to help with the understanding of the language and the sound of it spoken by a true Portuguese!

Eu fiquei encantada quando encontrei os vossos podcasts no mundo onde domina o português brasileiro… tava ouvir e curtir, foi muito fixe. Adoro a sua [Rui] pronúncia, sua voz é muito agradável.
Vocês têm que continuar a divulgar o português lusitano, porque é difícil para as pessoas que querem aprender a língua portuguesa mas encontram só o dialecto brasileiro.
(…) fico à espera de vossos novos podcasts!!!

You guys are great!

You guys are great! I’m trying to prepare for our first trip to Portugal, and you provide the the best European Portuguese listening. I love your beginner episodes, because that’s where I am. However, I hope to grow into the Intermediate ones, and I listen to them anyway just to hear pronunciation. Love the format where you discuss vocabulary.

I’m really pleased

I’m really pleased to have found you, I am a beginner, but am very ready to start learning more, and listening is what I need to do, along with reading (my reading and written is better than my speaking – I just can’t get the confidence to speak yet, but the more I listen to fast spoken Portuguese, the more I will get confident, I’m sure). I particularly like the way you speak slowly first, and then fast, it really helps my listening confidence.
I’m finding it is nearly impossible to find any good resources that aren’t either Brazilian, or a mixture of Portuguese and Brazilian.

I find the pronunciation of Portuguese just so difficult, but you both have very clear diction and it’s going to be most helpful to me in my attempts to learn the lingo.
Muito obrigada.

After some time away from premium membership (I was finding the podcasts a bit too advanced for me when I originally joined) I’ve now signed up for a years membership. I wanted to show my support for what you are doing as the site continues to grow (the dominance of Brazilian Portuguese resources online is a source of great frustration). Plus the amount of work that must have gone into these last few episodes in the new format, makes it well worth the membership fee. Keep up the good work!
