Best service I’ve found so far! I could not find any affordable and entertaining learning materials in European Portuguese before I came across this site. Thank you so much and keep going! I look forward to B1/B2 levels!

Thanks for the reply and thank you so much for the tips (The vowel pronunciation video is amazing!) and providing material for beginners. I can’t believe I didn’t know about The Learning studio. I will definitely sign up for that and pass on the tip to my fellow students!

I heard about you through a student that is learning Portuguese with me. I joined Practice Portuguese temporarily just to see the kind of things he is doing with you. I was very pleased with what I saw. I think you’re doing a good job. Congratulations!

Absolutely love your website and program and everything. I went to Lisbon for a conference and found that with a few weeks of exposure before the conference to the European version through your tremendously charming, entertaining content, I was able to understand and make myself understood with ease–I speak Spanish, and have some experience with Brazilian Portuguese so I am not starting from scratch but I have been to Portugal before and found that the language was all but unintelligible. So a big thanks for doing this.

The site is wonderful and a great help to me as I have been living in Portugal for nearly a year now. It is lovely here.
I was led astray before by trying to learn from a site which uses Brazilian speech and had to virtually start again.

This is beyond brilliant!
Verbs have always been confusing to me but in the last half hour alone, the Learning Studio method of clarifying the moods and tenses by adding mouseover tips and adding translated explanations has taken my head out of the gloom. I am so excited and delighted with this!
Thanks so much Joel and Rui, awesome work.

You make each podcast session lively and funny… and that is a “plus factor” for making me feel (and I believe even others) studying Português less difficult, or shall I say, “easier”.
Muito obrigada pelo vosso projecto.

I’m so glad I stumbled upon this podcast. Honestly, I was studying Brazilian Portuguese at first. Along with wanting to connect with my Portuguese roots, this podcast turned my language learning towards European Portuguese instead. Joel & Rui are funny, relatable, and you can really tell that they are passionate about this podcast and their language learning resources. I highly suggest becoming a premium member on their website. They have a huge amount to offer, and it’s crazy affordable. Thank you, Rui & Joel!

Ik ben al een paar jaar bezig met Portugees uit verschillende (theorie-) boeken te leren. Moeizaam en saai. Sinds een tijdje ben ik bezig met Practise Portuguese en ik heb alleen maar lof. Het is geweldig. De basis moet je wel zelf al hebben, anders lukt het niet. Maar zelfs als dit niet het geval is, kom je er heel veel verder mee dan met alleen theorieboeken. De uitspraak wordt heel erg benadrukt en ongeveer alle mogelijke onderwerpen komen ter sprake. Voor mij betekent het een boost in mijn studie. Obrigadissima!!

This is just a big thank you. I am really happy with the verbs. (…) The work you have put in to create this site is awesome and much appreciated. (…) The way you have grouped things works for me, I like the breakdown of categories and the repetitive exposure to each verb. Seeing them, then recognizing them, then applying them works for me. (…) I needed what you have done, which is to remove the verbs from other learning activities and just drill them in. I feel my sight vocab is pretty good, I can read the Pt newspaper, but it was the tenses which drove me mad and you are helping me so much.

Thank you for the fantastic work that you are doing with this resource. We have been planning to move to Portugal for quite some time (…) I know that the most important thing that will allow us to properly become part of the Portuguese community is to be able to communicate and that’s where you come in.
Your work on providing the podcasts and videos is exactly what we need to get started and give us the confidence to hold conversations in Portuguese. I have really enjoyed your 3-part videos especially as you seem to have such fun making them.
Please keep up this excellent work. Your efforts are very much appreciated and I’m sure that I’ll be listening to your podcasts for many years to come.
I am so thankful

I just wanted to reach out to thank you for creating this podcast and the comprehensive website I just discovered that goes along with it. I am 26 years old and “fluent” in Portuguese but since having moved out of my parents house, I do not practice nearly enough and have noticed my vocabulary slipping. (…) I am so thankful to have found your podcast and have been listening regularly as a way to practice on my own. (…) I just wanted to express my gratitude for your hard work and hope that this project never ceases to exist.

I am loving the learning site. (…) Keep up the good work… We now have a chance to learn this language.
It is interesting that some of the vocals are really fast spoken and some are more slowly spoken with each word a syllable spoken… which is nicer for learning. Anyway, we love it.

I’ve just signed up for the Learning Studio and done up to Lesson 3 on Basic 1. Very basic but a good way to start, I guess, and the audio helps us to memorize words and phrases.

Thanks for all you’re doing. We are so excited about this new development. You have done it with excellence and made it affordable.

I’m rattling my way through the lessons and enjoying it all immensely. I should finish Cors tonight and then I’m done! My own learning is around A2/B1 so this is all useful revision and exposure. I particularly like the aural comprehension – as you’ve already pointed out this is the most challenging part of learning Portuguese, certainly for me down in the Algarve where they seem to speak another language altogether – so the more of this the better.

I found your website and enjoyed the content then as there few WEBSITES or ONLINE INTERVENTION for European Portuguese. I have subscribed to your channel because I needed the help desperately.
(…) I have to admit that your work has evolved into a phenomenal project, with great love and dedication from you both. I feel so proud of you both because you never gave up and you saw the gap and continued to feed this little baby into the teenager that it has become.

The Best Resource by Far for European Portuguese
location: UK
posted: October 10, 2016
Name: JollyRanter
I visit Portugal every month as I have a house there and I’m learning Portuguese with a tutor following the Português XXI courses. Whilst my reading and writing skills improve, I still can’t understand much of the spoken word and find it difficult to engage in conversation. Most online resources are geared towards Brazilian portuguese, so to find a resource like this in European Portuguese is absolutely invaluable. I’ve subscribed to the Premium version where I have access to the transcripts, vocabularly and expressions. The podcasts are designed to be challenging and fun. In conclusion, this has become an invaluable resource to me for acquiring some degree of fluency in spoken portugese. An excellent product which I thoroughly recommend!

It was bloody brilliant, a much-needed shock after the courses I’d been studying in Brazilian Portuguese. At first it sounded to me like a drunk Russian talking Spanish, but you slowly guided me through the mysteries of Portuguese enunciation, or lack of it! PP is an excellent concept and I will not hesitate to spread the word.

Just watched the new Pizza na Hora video and loved it. Thank you, it gives me a chuckle every time I watch it. I just returned from Portugal myself and I’m full of cod, sardines, wine and coffee. Yummy! I was able to understand a fair bit better the conversations going on around me on this trip, and I think PP gets the credit for this.
