A great way to practice European Portuguese


Name: Leafytri

Joel and Rui put some much time and effort into their podcasts and website. Your Portuguese will come on in leaps and bounds with their help. Highly recommended.

The best Portuguese Podcast ot there


Name: ouwho

This is pitched at a good level, beyond the basic beginner how-to-order-a-beer stuff, but not as hard as – say – listening to the RTP news. It has a few laughs, and it isn’t in a Brazilian accent.

Essential European Portuguese Website


Name: Paul

If you want to learn to speak European Portuguese these podcasts are brilliant. I would recommend them as support to the study of grammar and vocabulary because they help you to listen to and practice pronunciation of everyday language and expressions. I subscribed to the site to receive transcripts plus vocab/expressions lists, even animated videos – all of which are very helpful. My ability to speak Portuguese has really improved and I have received many compliments from people I have met in Lisbon, including waiters in restaurants and shop staff. I heartily recommend these Practice Portuguese podcasts.

…sooo helpful!

I’ve been searching for a place to hear European Portuguese and am so happy I finally found this website and course! It’s awesome — interesting topics, adorable guys (Rui and Joel), sooo helpful! I don’t understand all of it by any means, but gradually I’m able to hear more and more. By the way, long ago I taught French, and I do love learning languages, but spoken Portuguese (European) was particularly difficult to understand despite knowing French, Spanish and a bit of Italian. The grammar and vocabulary are easy for me, and now — yay! — I should be able to converse in Portuguese — not just speak, but understand answers. Muito obrigada, Rui e Joel!

Finally some European Portuguese for someone who’s not an absolute beginner. Subtitles and quiz are very nice little extras if you sign up. Definitely recommend.

Finally…


Name: VanaID

Finally a great resource to improve understanding and pronunciation as spoken in Portugal. You do have to know some basic Portuguese, this is not for true beginners. But, it is great to get ready to visit Portugal and be able to communicate in their language.

Muito Obrigado

Extremely helpful – and fun!!


Name: Beni Martial

This was a really happy discovery – a great tool to develop my listening skills of European Portuguese. It really doesn’t matter how basic your understanding is yet, it really is helpful in getting you to develop. I’ve noticed my progress over just a few podcasts. And they’re hilarious! I love the conversations with Rui’s grandmother. I strongly strongly recommend the podcasts! Really glad I found this, guys.

I wish I could give it more than 5 stars!

Best source for European Portuguese


Name: Andrew H.

This podcast is the best source I’ve found for European Portuguese conversation. I love that it’s not boring repetition of words and phrases, but rather actual conversations between native and non-native speakers. Plus they’re super funny, especially Rui who I suspect must be an actor on the side because of all the (hilarious) roles he plays in the conversations. Thanks Rui & Joel!

Perfeito
