Hello! I only recently discovered your podcasts/videos via youtube while looking for something in Portuguese to listen to. Because I have indeed become tired of reading through books and doing exercises, leaving my speaking and listening skills untrained! Your work has really helped me in getting familiar with the European Portugese accent, and helped me distinguish individual words in between the cutting and eating of words this accent is quite famous for, at least according to several Brazillians I’ve spoken to (as well as what I first perceived, being more familiar with a spoken Brazillian accent)! 😛 I’m very grateful for that as it was quite frustrating not being able to understand very well, especially since the material I used to learn Portuguese in the beginning was of European Portuguese. I will continue following what you do and spread the word to anyone that might be interested. 🙂 … Keep up the good work!

Hi guys, what a great idea! I’ve only just started learning Portuguese (one, simple lesson under my belt so far!). I found your website via Learning Portugese.co.uk, and I’ll definitely be back later when my language skills improve. Keep up the good work! Best regards, Helen

English teacher in Lisbon here. I thought you might like to know that I completely agree with you – finding material for beginner’s Portuguese is relatively straight-forward, with lots of books, apps etc, but authentic, intermediate material is very difficult to find, especially for Continental Portuguese. Keep up the good work!
It’s a perfect companion for my classroom studies.

Olá e parabéns on a great site. As everyone says, it is difficult to find good learning material for European Portuguese so I’ve just found your site and already recommending it to anyone who will listen! I particularly like the clear, slower recordings as my brain turns inside out when I hear normal speed… It’s good to hear things I can understand (mais ou menos) and I then have a better chance when it goes into full speed. I hope you continue to get support and I’ll be signing up for the premium features soon so you can get some coffee and cake! It will be good to have the transcripts and the wordlists and expressions look really useful too. Muito obrigada Sandra
Congratulations on your excellent site

I’m a portuguese woman married with an American, with 4 children. I homeschool all my children and was looking for resources for my daughter to learn Portuguese. She’s an 8th grader, and will be in high school next year… I do think the way that Rui talks is very clear and of course I do like that you guys actually use portuguese expressions like “patavina, ” etc , since we portuguese use these all the time. And of course I really enjoyed listening to Rui’s grandmother, because it reminded me of my own grandmother… I think your programs are funny and very well done!
Everybody should do this!

Olá Rui e Joel… thanks to your project, I feel I am making giant steps! I have just listened tonight to the last couple of audio contents, including a entrevista com o Joel – and I can tell you I find the transcribed dialogues a great tool to really improve my understanding of the language, learn new words and expressions, etc… I have subscribed as a Premium member, and I feel it’s the best 5 Euros spent every month Everybody should do this!
Awesome!

Hello PP Guys, I found your page through iTunes. I’m from Vancouver, but I’ve been living in Santiago, Chile for 3 years. My Spanish is good, and I’ve been working on transitioning some of it into a basic level of Portuguese. I’ve always listened to a wide variety of Spanish; thank you for the materials from the “Home Country”! Obviously, it’s all about Brazil here in South America. I teach English online with Skype and Google Hangout. I’m passionate about communication based language learning… Good luck with your project! I’ll be spending the weekend listening to your podcasts. Geoff
