Loving the learning studio and the podcasts!

Name: Mark L.

Loving the learning studio and the podcasts! By far the best learning tools out there! Also have my mother hooked on the learning studio.

well organised and not too prescriptive

Name: Michael C.

I was unable to find a more advanced language course teaching European Portuguese. Then I discovered a website [Practice Portuguese] teaching European Portuguese. (…) There is much audiovisual content, which is well organised and not too prescriptive. I enjoy its cultural content which includes Portuguese food, travel, customs, folk tales, traditions, lifestyle, etc.

What would I do without you?!

Name: Alison T.

Thank you both so much for creating such a valuable learning resource. What would I do without you?! With your help, learning Portuguese is gradually beginning to seem possible. And somehow you make it such fun. Love you! Keep up the good work!

it’s been so great

Name: Lori G.

I love Practice Portuguese and it’s been so great, as I really needed European Portuguese materials. The “disappearing words” video was such a relief when I saw it! My husband is from Lisbon and speaks so fast, and I knew he cut out syllables but after this video it made so much more sense why it was so hard for me to understand at first. (…) Thanks so much for your great work! It makes practicing less intimidating and helping my progress with the language.

grande inovação

Name: Urs V.

Obrigado pelo vosso trabalho. Parabéns pela grande inovação e energia, há sempre algo novo para descobrir. O novo link de texto de áudio é maravilhoso e muito confortável.

it will improve my listening skills

Name: Mary H.

I really like the learning studio, most of all because it will improve my listening skills in Portuguese, which at the moment are jaw droppingly abysmal.
Many thanks for responding so quickly it gives the site a really personal feel.

super fast tech support

Name: Anna Z.

thanks a lot, this was super fast tech support (…) Premium is great, as I can read over again transcripts, and copy whole paragraphs for translation.
You are doing great job with this portal.

brilliant!

Name: Lindsay K.

The new site is brilliant!
Love being able to alter speed for both correct pronunciation (slow) and comprehension (bit faster) and also being able to move cursor easily to where you want it on the transcription.

Faz parte do meu dia-a-dia

Name: Marge B.

Tenho gostado imenso de praticar o meu Português pelo vosso website, especialmente porque eu vou visitar Portugal no mês que vem e quero falar o melhor possível. (…) continuem com o bom trabalho. Faz parte do meu dia-a-dia e é um grande apoio. A minha confiança está a crescer!

Finally a Portuguese source

Name: Mico Canavarro

You guys are doing a great job. I will be signing up very shortly. Finally a Portuguese source in European Portuguese.

I am very impressed

Name: Andrew B.

It was completely by chance that I stumbled upon your Podcast on iTunes, which led me here to your site. I must say that I am very impressed. This is everything I have been looking for, both as a resource to improve my Portuguese, as well as to share with other people I know who want to learn. I plan on showing this to my family in the coming days, so you can fully expect a subscription or two from us!

It has kept me motivated

Name: Caisha C.

I am such a fan of your podcast! It has kept me motivated, challenged and entertained along my Portuguese learning journey. I get so excited when a new episode is released, particularly as there are so few resources available for those of us learning European Portuguese. Thank you!

exatamente o que eu estava à procura

Name: Rens L.

Practice Portuguese é exatamente o que eu estava à procura: textos com uma grande variedade de assuntos, entrevistas, conversas, artigos etc. e sobretudo a possibilidade de treinar o ouvido . Entender o português falado é realmente difícil. Ouço infinitamente os episódios e notei que surte efeito e – graças ao humor – sempre divertido.
Muito obrigado por todas as iniciativas e esforços!

brilliant resources

Name: Barbara L.

Firstly thank you for your brilliant resources. As we are living in Portugal full time it is really important that we learn the language as quickly as possible and most of the resources out there are Brazilian so it is great to find so many great resources in one place.

se aprende mucho

Name: Oswaldo R.

Mi esposa es Portuguesa del Continente y yo Venezolano. Juntos, estudiamos la estructura gramatical todos los sabados y nos gustaria mucho poder hablar con fluides… Nos gusta mucho la lengua portuguesa..
Hemos oido sus PODCASTS y DIALOGOS y nos parecen muy educativos ademas que te enseñan de la cultura, musica y constumbres de Portugal, se aprende mucho y son sumamente entretenidos.
Los entendemos en un 100%.

It’s helping me a lot

Name: Kaye N.

Thank you for your website. It’s helping me a lot in learning the language. My in-laws are happy that I am learning their language, thanks to you

I’m excited

Name: Eugenia F.

I’m excited to get started, i studied portuguese here for 6 months and don’t want to loose it! I love your podcasts and site, so informative and so nice to have one in European Portuguese.

excellent site

Name: Gordon A.

Thank you and keep up the good work. I am lucky enough to have a guy from Lisboa that I speak Portuguese with for a couple of hours once a fortnight. Between that and the fact that my Italian is pretty reasonable and using your excellent site I am already at the stage of being able to understand a lot of writen Portuguese. Your site is really most useful to me for the spoken language. (…) Muito obrigado.

incredible

Name: Bridget J.

I must congratulate you on your incredible enthusiasm and the high standard of the work you produce for Practice Portuguese.

grandmother!

Name: Miemie K.

I like podcast very much, especially the ones with the grandmother! Thank you very much for helping us to learn your language. Muito obrigada, beijinhos e abraços!

I am finding all the lessons really helpful, I am finally getting a better grasp of the language.

great Learning Studio

Name: Kaia K.

Thanks for your detailed description. Your explanation was spot-on (…) Thanks for all your help and a great Learning Studio.
I hope to graduate to your regular PracticePortugues.com …someday.

just amazing!

Name: Melisa O.

I follow your podcast and I wanted to thank you so much for creating such a platform! Because I started to understand Portuguese language (Radio programs, tv shows, Portuguese songs’s lyrics) far better after I was back in Turkey thanks to this Podcast channel! I have to say, this is just amazing! You are amazing!

Love the site

Name: Cameron A.

Love the site and it’s really coming in handy for my upcoming trip to Portugal in March, keep up the great work!

always gracious

Name: Mara C.

Thanks so much for your answers which are always gracious. Thanks too for giving those of us struggling along learning Portuguese a platform to get help (and sometimes, join our Portuguese counter-parts and simply complain when things get tough and feel somewhat impossible).

I love your podcasts!!

Name: Antonia

I love your podcasts!! There is so few materials for EUROPEAN portuguese and I felt so lucky to have found the site! Muito obrigada!

amazing webpage

Name: Monika R.

Thank you so much for your amazing webpage. It’s crucial for me to learn portuguese and without you it’d be quite impossible…

great!

Name: Fred W.

I just finished Os Fundamentos 1,2, and 3, and am getting ready to move on. Thanks for adding those new sections. Your course is great!

the best

Name: Terry R.

I am enjoying your language course. It’s the best of the many I have looked at, especially now the the lovely soft tones of Raul have been added.
Hopefully you will continue to work the excellent work and will be encouraged to keep adding innovative extras. Obrigado.

good work

Name: Bas A.

Keep up the good work you guys! I have been promoting you to everybody even considering learning Portuguese.

Take care and I look forward to the new units!

keeps getting better

Name: Geoff D.

The site keeps getting better and better.
Rui’s voice is much more helpful. The previous voice(s) were mostly good but now I know that is actually how it is as opposed to wondering – maybe it’s a glitch in the voice programme.
Also, it seems much easier for me to copy. (…) Keep up the good work.

wonderful learning experience!

Name: Isabel C.

I love your podcasts (…) Thank you for the wonderful learning experience! I would definitely recommend your site to anyone trying to learn European Portuguese.

so smart

Name: Carrie P.

I was initially interested in casually brushing up what little Portuguese I have (…), but honestly, your content is so smart, engaging and listenable that I’m aiming a little higher now. It really is a delight to listen. Really really good work!

great!

Name: Edna E.

You are doing great! Your prompt replies to my comments, feedbacks, and queries manifest your passion for your work and your dedication to really help people like me who want to learn Português.

I commend you for your kind gesture and hard work!

great material

Name: Birthe Lang

Thanks so much for continuously providing great material for learning European Portuguese. Thanks to your material I manage to speak a little more each time I go to Portugal.

é ótimo!

Name: Nick L.

Acabo de descobrir o seu podcast, e é ótimo! Parabéns e espero que o projeto vá bem para vocês. Já entendo os benefícios deste tipo de aprendizagem focado em escutar e ler material real para ver linguagem em contexto, então fiquei muito feliz quando descobri o podcast.

very useful

Name: Barbara L.

Thank you so much for the latest batch of exercises. I have found them very useful (…). The Christmas podcast has also been very useful and I think I may be ready to sign in to the premium level. (…) thanks for the great work. You have made my move to Portugal easier and we were even able to hold an interesting conversation with our neighbours in their own language at Christmas.

has really helped us

Name: Chad N.

My wife and I (…) just arrived in Lisbon. I’m already realizing how helpful it has been to listen to your podcasts in the car these past few months. Portuguese speakers are so disrespectful toward syllables, smashing them together and eliding them in ways that make it very difficult for foreigners to understand. Having your podcasts handy has really helped us disentangle the spoken language. Thank you!

great resource

Name: Daniel S.

Just wanted to take a second to say how much I enjoy the podcasts, videos and web content that you’ve made. This is the third language I’ve learned and I wish there had been something like this when I was slogging through French. (Who am I kidding? I’m still slogging through French.) (…) Congratulations on a job well done. I hope the business is going well for you. It’s such a great resource and you deserve to succeed.

Such a great, fun resource


Name: fs46

Best thing I’ve found for hearing and learning about European Portuguese as it’s really spoken. Great rapport between the hosts and fun, engaging topics. So happy I came across this podcast and its website.

OMG

Name: David T.

OMG that massive verbs section is amazing! I was just thinking, “how come it’s SO HARD to learn verbs in a foreign language?” Meaning, everyone wants to teach you clothing and food and crap, but no one ever just grinds through the most important thing: verbs. Thanks for continuing to be awesome!

Brilliant podcast for improving your Portuguese


Name: Nick L.

I just discovered Practice Portuguese and it’s exactly what I’m looking for! I’m a huge believer in mass input (listening/reading) in language learning. Practice Portuguese gives you the chance to engage with the language in context through articles and conversations, which is extremely important. Two thumbs up!

easily understandable

Name: Edite B.

First of all, I would love to thank you for doing such an incredibly amazing job at making learning Portuguese so much easier for me and many, many other people, I’m sure. I’ve struggled for the longest time to find some learning materials that would be easily understandable and accessible, but there’s not a lot of out there. So finding you guys on youtube was super lucky! Your content is great, easily understandable (especially for a non-native English speaker like me) and it is fun! So thank you again for that. You have not only helped me get back into learning Portuguese (…), but it has also inspired me to try some teaching of my own.

astonishing

Name: Elizabeth D.

Your program is helping me learn new vocabulary and verbs at an astonishing rate. I prefer your program to Rosetta Stone, anyday. Good job!

muito obrigada

Name: Gabriella N.

Thanks a lot (muito obrigada) for all your work. I really like all your podcasts. This one too, I really found the text very good – rich in vocabulary, but very comprehensible, at least, it was good for my level. I love you both.
