I really appreciate the job that you do, guys! 🙂 I speak Polish (native), English, French and I’ve been learning Portuguese since last year, all by myself. As it is not my first time (learning), I have learned some basics from the previous ones (languages!). By discovering the words or grammar which is simmilar, I can easily absorb Portuguese. And your podcasts give me that opportunity! 🙂
I have to admit, that most of the podcasts in the internet don’t sound as good as yours. By the word ‘sound’ I mean the voices, the quality and simply the modern way of editing the record. And, voila, here we have podcasts that I can listen to even ten times non-stop. Great job, keep going!

The best Portuguese Podcast ot there

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.

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!

…largely due to listening to your podcasts, almost every time I speak Portuguese here people respond with compliments, particularly about my pronunciation and words like ‘fixe’ used, for example, with friendly waiters have produced gaffaws of laughter.

My dream is to live in Lisbon. I fell in love with that city, no doubts about it. So I wish to be able to communicate this beautiful, but hard … language. I’m taking a course in my city, Poznan, and trying to find some more possibilities to explore different ways of learning. So, here I am – ready to the new adventure! Thank you for the huge job you put in running that page – obrigada!

Olá, Rui, Joel. Muito obrigado por um programa tão maravilhoso. Sou seu ouvinte ja algum tempo, mas nunca achei que vocês têm um canal no YouTube, também. Acabo de me inscrever para o seu canal e dar um “like”. Há muitos programas de português brasileiro, mas só existem poucos livros ou materiais que tratam de português de Portugal. E por isso o seu programa é recursos muito valiosos para todos que aprendam português de Portugal continuar a aprendê-lo. Eu mesmo crio programas de aprendizagem de línguas no YouTube, e sei que não é fácil continuâ-lo fazer. Mas eu espero que vocês possam continuar a fazer este programa e que o seu programa cresce ainda maior. De novo, muito obrigado.

I just have to thank you guys for making this website. I am a Lusophile and one of my best friends is from Lisboa, and I have been trying to learn Portuguese on and off for the past 3 years. The lack of continental Portuguese training is astounding. I have been learning Brazilian, but everytime I go to Portugal (3 times in the past 2 years!), I still cannot communicate because I am unable to practice the European dialect. This website is so helpful! Keep it up! Im going back to Portugal this year in June, so hopefully by then Ill be a little bit more proficient!

Os podcast da Avó Odete sao muito uteis 🙂 Obrigado pelos temas muito engracados também . Eu posso entender em geral o texto escrito mas nao o que se fala.. é muito dificil perceber quando uma pessoa fala rápido com estilo informal ..mas isso o que eu quero perceber e isso é uma diversao para mim 🙂 Mais além assim , desejo muito éxito á continuacao.

How fun and funny! Exactly what I need now that I live half the year in the Algarve. I love your grandmother, Rui! Especially explaining about the sleep you have lost making the subtitles! …
Everyone speaks very well of you! They say you are not for beginners, but I’m not one. You offer JUST what I need: practise understanding the spoken word, PT PT. My “Portunhol” is great, as I speak Spanish fluently. I can say what I need to say, with more or less Portu and more or less Nhol — everyone understands me. But I need to understand THEM, and that’s harder.
Congrats again on the wonderful job you are doing. You really fill a needed gap in online learning, and you do it in a very professional way, and as if that were not enough, you’re funny as well!

Eu sou da China, chegue a Lisboa ha quarto meses, e levo dois a aprender Português na Universidade de Lisboa. Comecei ouvir aos vossos episódios desde um mês e meio passado.
Com este mensagem, queria dizer-lhes que os vossos episódios têm ajudado-me imenso! Cada vez sinto-me falar Português com mais certeza. Vocês estão a fazer um trabalho tão bom! Gosto muito deste desenho de duas versões – a versão lenta ajuda-me muito para entender toda a historia em detalhes! Os temas que vocês escolhem também são muito interessantes especialmente para nos os estrangeiros. Por exemplo, eu tinha sempre curiosidade do galo que aparece frequentemente na rua, e vocês então fizeram um episódio que explicou isso! Estou maravilhada sempre pela qualidade da produção. É obvio que vocês têm colocado muito esforço e energia nos episódios. Muito obrigada! Eu também queria participar num episódio no futuro se fosse possível!
Espero que todo vão bem com vocês! Se calhar, podemos encontrar-nos um dia no futuro, e naquela altura, poderei conhecê-los pessoalmente.
Muita sorte!!

I recently became a member… I have been exploring the site and believe it will be very useful. My partner is Portuguese and his parents live in central Portugal, Fundão. We visit them there almost yearly, and on these visits, I have so much enjoyed listening to the sounds of this beautiful language… I am very much a beginner and have gotten on to the Pimsleur method, and am half thru the 90 Brazilian units. I have also done the 10 units in European which I loved, but only the Brazilian version is expanded… My partner complains of my Brazilian accent which has directed me to RTPs and your site… I enjoyed the pizza ordering episodes which are more at my level. Anyhow, thanks for the wonderful site. I can now listen, listen, listen and have a transcript to fall back on which I don’t have with the RTPs… Thanks again. I will be busy with this for a long time.
