Empowering

location: U.S.A.

Name: Tim

Congratulations on your amazing journey with Practice Portuguese. As someone who’s been a member from pretty early on, it’s remarkable to see how much you have accomplished (and how much I’ve learned because of your empowering work and care).  PP has helped me fulfill that educational and familial “void” I have felt. My long way of saying: you guys rock and help/empower people more than you realize.

Dedication and love

I was touched by your dedication to help us to really get into the practicalities. I have done many other courses, like babbel etc, but these I found so mechanistic. In yours I detect dedication and much love, thank you, it is so fun!

I want to take this opportunity to congratulate you with your PP website, it has grown in leaps and bounds. Rui, you and Joel and the team that you have been able to put together around you, are working like a well oiled machine, and at a much higher level of output. Thanks for what you Rui and Joel are doing, you are a national treasure for Portugal, especially with regards to European Porteguese.

No other tool compares

You’ve taught me gobs about the intricacies of Mediterranean Portuguese that I would otherwise miss, as there’s no other teaching tool out there that compares to what you guys do online to fine-tune my Portuguese.

Realistic

I do really commend PracticePortuguese for including these realistic videos of how real people speak IN ADDITION TO the distinctly spoken recordings and also the (extremely useful) tortoise speed ones. Having all three sound samples is a brilliant idea.

Rosetta Stone, only better

Name: Boguslaw

I’ve been doing this course for about 2 weeks now and I’m very happy with it. I’ve been exposed to Brazilian Portuguese since my wife is Brazilian, but European Portuguese is a lot more difficult. Your course reminds me of Rosetta Stone, only it’s better, because you provide explanations and grammar. So, good job, guys! I think, I’ll be speaking a pretty good Portuguese in about 6 months thanks to you.

Very enjoyable

I just started learning PR. I’m having a ton of fun. For the first time ever I don’t need to write anything down. And you’ve made the learning process very enjoyable.

My ears are getting tuned in to the language

Name: Margit

Your course is excellent – my ears are getting tuned in to the language. Suddenly I find that I understand heaps of what previously was one long flow of schhhhh schhhhh sounds. I am moving to Portugal in a year and want to speak the language reasonably well by then. I don’t think I would achieve that without your course, so thanks! 😊

User-friendly and fun

The video version of your podcasts, with the legendas that pop up here and there make it very user-friendly and fun. And we all know that having fun makes the learning easier to understand and remember.

Reading, listening, speaking, writing neatly packaged in interesting and innovative ways

Name: Pat

You will find everything here you could possibly want to learn and practise Portuguese. I have been learning here for 2 years and am writing this because I am still full of enthusiasm and just want to share my delight at what the team here are doing ! [As a] retired French teacher, I find all the key elements (Reading, Listening, Speaking, Writing) neatly packaged in interesting and innovative ways. Culture, Humour, up-to-date language, support is personalised and I quickly felt that the team felt like a small, friendly family.

Variety of content, sense of community

Name: Kim

I just wanted to take the time to let you know how useful I am finding this website, but also how much fun. The variety of content means there is always something I can tap into, no matter how little time I have.
Life is so difficult for so many people at the moment and personally, I find your Practice Portuguese a source of real escapism! I especially appreciate you allowing us to meet your family, providing a sense of community rather than just a language resource.

You make it fun

This must have taken FOREVER to put together! I am very impressed. From one teacher to another, your site is top-notch and I am enjoying it very much.

Range of speakers at natural conversational speed

location: UK
posted: December 1, 2020

Name: Penny

I am finding the course very good. For me, and I suspect for most others, the thing that is most challenging is understanding what is being said by authentic Portuguese L1 speakers. The way you tackle this with snatches of language with a range of speakers at natural conversational speed, backed up with a clearer version by a teacher and a slow version is absolutely excellent…

It is very helpful in developing a feel for how the stress timing of the language affects the pronunciation. It’s so much better than being able to understand the teacher but no-one else!! I love that you use a wide variety of people in your videos and how some have background noise, helping us to develop the strategy of catching the key words and using logic to fill in the bits that are ‘swallowed’ by the speaker or masked by background noise.

You beat all others

Name: Rolf

Thank you for your very professional approach and help and guidance with this site. I am most happy with it, after trying different other ones. You beat all others, in my opinion, may-be because you think first of all about you clients, not about your profit. This is the only right approach, in my opinion. So keep on like you do now, and I will remain a happy client.
