I think that your site is as good of a learning opportunity for European Portuguese that one might find on the internet. (…) You are on the right tract.

Thank you

Nothing like this for português/portuguese online, a friend told me. And yes, the clips are helpful, make me laugh and love the language. Now I signed up, looking forward to the added features and what’s to come.

I just watched the latest episode and words cannot express how much I enjoyed it. The animation is beautiful, and the speech of the actors superb. It is great to hear female speakers and different male voices. I know now where Rui got his gift. I was just pondering which podcast to concentrate on next and the choice is easy now. To all involved in this project, I think you are all just fantastic!!!

I love love love the lessons. I’ve only had time to do a couple so far but hope to dive into more this weekend. I love that they go over words quite a bit in different ways. I take notes too and I really feel I’m retaining the information. I’ve been trying to learn for quite sometime and this is the best learning tool I’ve used. I know a few words just from being around a lot of Portuguese friends but not enough to join in the conversation but I feel these lessons will help me!

Listening to needs of your clients

Just read “Um dia na Praia”. It was great. Helpful to hear Joels explanations and Rui’s comments. Listened, read transcription aloud , then listened twice more. As a former teacher (once a teacher always a teacher) I applaud how you are growing, changing and listening to needs of your clients. This feels very personal. Thanks, obrigadinha.

I apreciate very much the work you both have done so fare with the website. I think it’s nearly the only way to become – at least for me – better in speaking portuguese. BTW I just started to support your project as a premium member…:-)

Lots of fun

Thanks to you and Rui for PracticePortuguese.com. There are so few resources available for those who don’t want to learn a Brazilian dialect. PracticePortuguese.com is a quality product, inviting and lot’s of fun… I listen mostly through iTunes but am a subscriber and also have downloaded a couple of the PDFs.

Obrigado

I felt comfortable conversing with people in Portuguese…

We are on our way home after almost a month in Portugal. I began learning Portuguese as best I could on line some months before we left. Although your podcasts were way beyond my level of comprehension, they were my only way to hear Portuguese as it is spoken and I had to listen to them one at a time, over and over, and translate word by word.the written dialogue on the website was really helpful. Amazing — I felt comfortable conversing with people in Portuguese. I could actually understand quite a bit and was surprised to find that words I had to look up working through the podcasts came to me without a lot of effort. And people we met in Portugal were patient and kind speaking with me and even told me I spoke well. Of course, they were just being polite, but it did encourage me. (it helps that I am fluent in Spanish.)

I intend to keep working on Portuguese and hope that I will be truly fluent when I return to beautiful Portugal. Keep up the good work.

I find your site to be excellent. I became a member last week. I have been trying to learn Continental Portuguese for almost two years with only minimal success. You are absolutely correct when you say that the best way to learn a language is to listen to the spoken word. Thats how we learn our own language as very young children…Again, great site.
Thank you.

I am Spanish…

My level is basic, in particular speaking, because I am not studying any grammar at all.

I am Spanish and I am only studying, at least for the moment, the minimum for understanding. But while my speaking level is very basic my understanding is much better and your episodes help me for this primary purpose. Just in case this information can help you.

By the way, this month, I have the test of CAPLE (Centro de Avaliação Português Língua Estrangeira by Universidade de Lisboa) here, Nampula city in Mozambique.

Anyway, I really enjoy studying Portuguese using your site.

I really appreciate the job that you do, guys! :)

I really appreciate the job that you do, guys! 🙂 I speak Polish (native), English, French and I’ve been learning Portuguese since last year, all by myself. As it is not my first time (learning), I have learned some basics from the previous ones (languages!). By discovering the words or grammar which is simmilar, I can easily absorb Portuguese. And your podcasts give me that opportunity! 🙂

I have to admit, that most of the podcasts in the internet don’t sound as good as yours. By the word ‘sound’ I mean the voices, the quality and simply the modern way of editing the record. And, voila, here we have podcasts that I can listen to even ten times non-stop. Great job, keep going!

Very useful

Ive been studying Portuguese for a couple of years and can read it and write it fairly well. Hearing and understanding is harder because i dont live near any Portuguese expatriates and so I dont get to hear the language spoken at normal speed. for that, this site is GREAT for me!!!!
