I just feel that this is finally something that could help me a lot. I am an “eternal beginner” because I did not and still do not have that much time for my portuguese, but I would really like to move from my A2 level. And your audios/texts are great for spending time in a public transport!
Keep going guys!

Great European Portuguese resource

I highly recommend this podcast for people learning european Portuguese. Quality resources are rare for EP and this podcast is quality. Hearing the language spoken, slowed down, and repeated at typical speed is so useful, with salient points discussed in English. There is a learner speaking in the podcasts too, and comparing the student to the native speaker lets me hear my own mistakes and helps me progress.
I found the whole production so good that I subscribed to the premium version, and I am really pleased with that too. Transcripts, vocab lists, quizzes at a great price. I have found nothing else like it in years of looking.
really useful and fun

I’m almost as excited as you and Rui must be about this. As a former TEFL teacher, I can already see that the Learning Studio promises to be really useful and fun. I still need to work on my verb conjugations so will definitely be making the most of this opportunity. I’m hoping that this will be the tool to finally get my husband to work on his Portuguese so I’ll see if I can persuade him to test it out as a false beginner.

Thanks for your Leap of Faith video. I have ran through it. It was good and I can see that you both put a lot of work into it.
The coverage of the grammar and pronunciation too was good. Not too heavy. (…)

I’ve been listening to the podcasts for some time now but have recently become a premium member and wish I had done so ages ago. If I can dedicate myself to listening to podcasts and doing exercises every day, then my portuguese will improve quickly. This is a very helpful and innovative format. Thanks guys.

You are awesome. Loved the video, and plan to watch it and learn from it, and the pdf’s. I live upstairs from a Portuguese grandma and grandpa..we often try to chat..usually more of them talking and lots of sign language. I love that your videos are spoken in portuguese with the transcripts..great concept! Your hard work really shows, and is greatly appreciated!

Com o video é muito mais fácil compreender o vosso inglês e português
Vou aproveitar esta resposta para agradecer o vosso trabalho. No ano passado eu escutei os vossos podcasts para aprender a pronúncia e falar um pouco de português (o verdadeiro português!), eu precisava aprendê-lo para ir à Angola e aqui em Itália encontrava só professores que falavam o português do Brasil…

Bravo! This episode was great. I really appreciate the conversation, the explanations. It felt like I was in a class. And this is just what I needed to return to my studies, and now it will be more intense than before. (…) Am going to listen to a podcast every morning, study my verbs, and plan to have a 30 minute conversation daily with meu marido or countless other Portuguese friends. I am determined to set up my own home schooling! At 70, this is not easy but thank you both for helping me “find my voice”.

´I just wanted to say how much I’m enjoying your podcasts – particularly the new, longer versions with the explanations as we go. I also love the animated video podcasts. I have been a member of your site for a while now, but am finding that I’m using it even more than before since the addition of these new formats.
Thank you again – your site is a brilliant tool to help with the understanding of the language and the sound of it spoken by a true Portuguese!

Eu fiquei encantada quando encontrei os vossos podcasts no mundo onde domina o português brasileiro… tava ouvir e curtir, foi muito fixe. Adoro a sua [Rui] pronúncia, sua voz é muito agradável.
Vocês têm que continuar a divulgar o português lusitano, porque é difícil para as pessoas que querem aprender a língua portuguesa mas encontram só o dialecto brasileiro.
(…) fico à espera de vossos novos podcasts!!!

You guys are great! I’m trying to prepare for our first trip to Portugal, and you provide the the best European Portuguese listening. I love your beginner episodes, because that’s where I am. However, I hope to grow into the Intermediate ones, and I listen to them anyway just to hear pronunciation. Love the format where you discuss vocabulary.
I’m really pleased

I’m really pleased to have found you, I am a beginner, but am very ready to start learning more, and listening is what I need to do, along with reading (my reading and written is better than my speaking – I just can’t get the confidence to speak yet, but the more I listen to fast spoken Portuguese, the more I will get confident, I’m sure). I particularly like the way you speak slowly first, and then fast, it really helps my listening confidence.
I’m finding it is nearly impossible to find any good resources that aren’t either Brazilian, or a mixture of Portuguese and Brazilian.

After some time away from premium membership (I was finding the podcasts a bit too advanced for me when I originally joined) I’ve now signed up for a years membership. I wanted to show my support for what you are doing as the site continues to grow (the dominance of Brazilian Portuguese resources online is a source of great frustration). Plus the amount of work that must have gone into these last few episodes in the new format, makes it well worth the membership fee. Keep up the good work!

It is great to hear female speakers and different male voices. I know now where Rui got his gift. I was just pondering which podcast to concentrate on next and the choice is easy now. To all involved in this project, I think you are all just fantastic!!!

Just read “Um dia na Praia”. It was great. Helpful to hear Joels explanations and Rui’s comments. Listened, read transcription aloud , then listened twice more. As a former teacher (once a teacher always a teacher) I applaud how you are growing, changing and listening to needs of your clients. This feels very personal. Thanks, obrigadinha.

We are on our way home after almost a month in Portugal. I began learning Portuguese as best I could on line some months before we left. Although your podcasts were way beyond my level of comprehension, they were my only way to hear Portuguese as it is spoken and I had to listen to them one at a time, over and over, and translate word by word.the written dialogue on the website was really helpful. Amazing — I felt comfortable conversing with people in Portuguese. I could actually understand quite a bit and was surprised to find that words I had to look up working through the podcasts came to me without a lot of effort. And people we met in Portugal were patient and kind speaking with me and even told me I spoke well. Of course, they were just being polite, but it did encourage me. (it helps that I am fluent in Spanish.)
I intend to keep working on Portuguese and hope that I will be truly fluent when I return to beautiful Portugal. Keep up the good work.

I find your site to be excellent. I became a member last week. I have been trying to learn Continental Portuguese for almost two years with only minimal success. You are absolutely correct when you say that the best way to learn a language is to listen to the spoken word. Thats how we learn our own language as very young children…Again, great site.
Thank you.
