Brilliant

Name: Geraldine

These dialogues at the end of each learning unit are brilliant for consolidation of the structures learned in each unit.

So happy he found your project

Name: Mariana

I am Portuguese born and raised. But fate made me fall in love…we’re now engaged and he’s moving to Portugal. He tried to find options to learn and when he spoke to me I’d always sigh and tell him “that… is Brazilian”. I got him a couple books but he found out your website and in about 2 months he’s been soooo dedicated that I am floored by how much he learnt by now! That was amazing! He’s moving to Portugal soon and I am so happy he found your project and shared it with me!

So impressed

Name: Kris C.

I was searching high and low for somewhere to learn European Portuguese but options were somewhat limited. I was so impressed with your learning lab and how fun you make your videos that I had to sign up and try this.

A big help

Name: Susanne W.

Portuguese is quite new for me and I have found your website. All the stuff is wonderful. I listen to your Podcasts in the car and during sporttime whenever I can. I like the YouTube videos very much. Immersing into the language is a big help and a great fun. Really you fill a gap with this!

A ton of resources

Name: Chris S.

As a beginner, it gives me what I need to get started but has a ton of resources to keep me learning and take my education right through to an advanced level. It is such a massive resource and such a complete one.

Relevant and current

Name: Christine S.

Your website is the highlight of my days … When I wake up, the first thing I do is go to your site and practice my Portuguese … I absolutely love your program and I am so thankful that I found it! It feels so personal, and it’s so much fun. The topics of the videos and podcasts are so relevant and current.

Invaluable

Name: Warren B.

Thanks for the amazing work on the learning studio. I’m doing A1/A2 at the moment and the ability to hear and read well enunciated European Portuguese is invaluable. I use the speech to text on my iPad keyboard to fill in the written answers where possible which I think is improving my own pronunciation.

New speaking activity

Name: Chris W.

Finally I have found an online course that really helps me to learn European Portuguese – I find the new speaking activity particularly helpful.

The best tool out there

Name: Eve T.

I have followed Practice Portuguese since before you developed the Learning Studio. You have built up a wonderful resource to learn European Portuguese. It’s by far the best tool out there currently, and it makes learning Portuguese super fun!

Authentic and real listening experiences

Name: Sabine P.

I really like your approach and with so little help for learners of European Portuguese out there you are a real find. I especially find the videos with transcripts very helpful. I did a couple of beginner’s courses in Portuguese and it was always hard to find authentic and real listening experiences.

Very entertaining

Name: Geraldine

I’m a good few weeks in to Practice Portuguese now, and it’s helping me so much! I find it so user friendly and the content is very entertaining. Keep up the good work!

Ótimo


Name: lenyskha

The best way to learn português and get some knowledge about traditions, food, history of Portugal

Mini-dialogues are very helpful

These mini-dialogues are very helpful, especially for those of us who have not had much practice in listening to spoken Portuguese and trying to comprehend what is said! I very much look forward to them!

Everyday conversation

Name: Dennett

Thank you for the short dialogues, great way to hear new words used in everyday conversation.

The answer to my prayers

Name: Roberta P.

You guys are getting better and better. The little podcasts at the end of each unit is the answer to my prayers, seriously guys this site is so good, thank you so so much.

Constant improvement

Name: Donovan

The course is excellent. The content is well organized and easy to navigate. There is constant improvement to the content. A great learning resource!

Extensive yet so simple

Name: Matt C.

I think Practice Portuguese is amazing, it is so rich in content and extensive yet so simple to use with the easy units leading up to more complex stuff. I’ve only just started and am really impressed.

Learning something new every day

Name: Zita

Love the podcasts! so many interesting and funny stories, learning something new every day. Thank you

Money well spent

Name: Barbara

Great range of resources from beginner to intermediate. It has been invaluable in my efforts to learn Portuguese in a part of the country where most people speak to you in English!
The ‘boys’ are super-helpful and are constantly improving based on customer feedback. For me it’s been money well spent.

Worth spending money on Pro membership

Name: Justyna

Fantastic materials to learn European Portuguese! Podcast features spoken language and real Portuguese expression so useful when talking with natives. Plus, you can practice your listening skills and check yourself with the provided translations. Worth spending money on Pro membership.

Name: Adam

Always funny, always useful and well thought out, my wife and I love practicing Portuguese with Rui & Joel. Muito obrigado amigos, abraços desde Polonia!

Passei a minha prova A2

Making learning fun

Name: Hannah R.

I’m enjoying your online learning! Very helpful to a complete beginner. Hoping to be up to speed on basics by [the time] I move to Portugal. Thank you for making learning fun!

Soooo handy


Name: danybelgium

Indeed, the most difficult aspect of European Portuguese is understanding the challenging pronunciation. And that’s also something you can’t study in bookstores great great tool!!

Wonderful resource!


Name: johnsonmatt97

Joel and Rui are so much fun to listen to, and their podcasts are excellent for improving your ability to hear and understand portuguese. I also recommend subscribing to their website. I use it to read transcripts of the podcasts while they are playing and take advantage of all of their other lessons and exercises.

Learning So Much


Name: Till B.

I’m living in Lisbon since 2.5 years and discovered this podcast a few weeks ago and it’s been incredibly helpful.

So fun, so helpful, so full of heart


Name: JudyHilly

Practice Portuguese is so consistently engaging and entertaining. So much is offered and it all works! There is seemingly an unlimited amount of material to learn and polish up on, and they are continually adding new features. I really love it. Muito muito obrigada!

Verb modules are excellent

Name: David A.

Recently I have been concentrating on my verbs – because I really needed to do that. I find your verb modules excellent. I like the fact that I have to recognise a verb only from the sound. That has helped me a lot.

Amazing podcast!


Name: Ewan261

I’ve tried all the available tools for learning European Portuguese, this is by far the best. It’s clear, very well thought out, and fun! The premium features (learning studio, audio transcriptions) are great too, and well worth the cost. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn and/or perfect their European Portuguese!

She was floored

Name: Daniella S.

Yesterday … with the woman I mentioned who lived in Portugal she told me that she was floored by how much I’ve learned in a month. Your project has so helped me – I’m now listening to the podcasts with the translations first at normal speed then line by line … and am finding I’m getting comfortable with the easier ones. I’m so very grateful to have found your site.

Muito obrigada !!!


Name: Elomusicpage

Adoro este podcast !! Faz muito tempo que busco uma maneira de escutar o português DO PORTUGAL. Espero os proximos episodios com impaciencia !!

Ótimo!!

Name: Themst

Eu aprendi português no Brasil e mudei para Portugal. A língua é muito diferente aqui e está podcast vai ajudar muito. Obrigado!!

extremely well done

Name: David C.

I’m on to your Learn/Units now. They are just exactly what I need. Was not expecting so many differences in pronunciation from Brazilian Portuguese but wow, there are a lot, including those weird new vowel sounds and missing vowels. Those units are extremely well done, varied and challenging without being dauntingly difficult, kudos to both of you.

great job

Name: Joanne H.

I think you guys are doing a great job of innovating methods for teaching a language and it has been interesting to watch it grow over the years. It is obvious you are having fun with it.
I have to add that the quizzes really challenge my spelling ability.
Regards and keep up the good work.

I can’t thank you enough

Name: Michelle I.

I just returned home from Portugal. I can’t say enough about how beautiful the country and its people are. I was so very worried because I only had about seven weeks to learn whatever I could. Between the learning center and the podcasts, however, I was fully prepared. I was able not only to communicate my needs I understood what was being said to me. The lessons were fantastic and the cultural videos helped me to see some great sites and eat some great foods. (…) I am definitely going back and next time I will be fluent.
I can’t thank you enough.
I’m going to keep learning.

best resource

Name: David C.

Really like your site, best resource by far I’ve found for an intermediate Brazilian Portuguese speaker learning continental Portuguese.
