I want to drop you a line to thank you for this initiative, and encourage you to continue. I was desperately looking for a way for improving my oral Portuguese and this is exactly what I need. Reading Portuguese is very easy (I am very fluent in French) but I couldn’t understand a word when a Portuguese is speaking. I spend a few hours per month listening to your podcasts, and I see the progress…

You really went above and beyond I will be sure to check out some of these links. Thanks for taking the time to respond…Just a quick review of your podcast. I am really liking it so far. As of now I would say I am understanding about 20-40% of what is being said. The stuff I do understand is really great and some videos are comically well written. I actually laugh. Which for me is not an easy task since I have wrote and performed comedy for a couple years. I have lots of close friends who are in the industry so I have high standards when it comes to comedy. Great job looking forward to more

Olá Joel e Rui!!!
I love, love, love this episode! I like how you guys sped it up, since that is the actual speed that people speak in. It is crazy how different it sounds when it goes faster!
Thank you for posting such great videos, you truly are the best 🙂
Hope all is well on your end!

Hi Joel and Rui, Just want to say thank you so much for this awesome website. I am from Colombia, living in the USA since 1,999. My husband is Portuguese from Mêda, north of Portugal. He doesn’t speak Spanish so we communicate in English. Since we got married, nine years ago, I’ve been trying to learn Portuguese in order to talk to his family, but I was not persistent with this goal. (My husband doesn’t have patience to teach me). When I tried to learn in the past, always found Brazilian Portuguese courses and this discouraged me from learning because I wanted to learn the european version… but when I found you guys on Facebook, I was so happy!
I am amazed of the excellent quality of your website. The videos are great and the transcription and word expression list is phenomenal. This is such a good help for me. I can understand about 90% of the conversations but I can’t talk yet. When I try to talk I mix too much Spanish.
Anyway, now I am determined to learn the language and be fluent speaking European Portuguese. Thank you again because you guys make this goal possible for me.
Beijinhos,
B.

I appreciate the website which supports the european portuguese 😉 the majority of audio materials for foreigners are recorded with the brazilian accent which makes learning more difficult for me, as I have to learn the european version. Muito obrigada! 🙂

Greetings from NYC. I was searching for keyword “fado” last night on Tunein.com, and suddently “Artigo 14” from your podcast appeared. I was intrigued, because I have never heard “slow” Portuguese offered in a learning program before. It was quite revelatory! And even more stunning, because as you note, most Portuguese language-learning resources are Brazilian. I go to Newark on the weekends for the Portuguese restaurants there AND in order to force myself to have conversations there. Depois de sete anos de estudar, posso ler quase tudo (incluindo romances tal como Dostoevesky!), e finalmente estou gradualmente entendendo de lingua como é falada, but actually speaking is the most frustrating piece of the puzzle. I freeze up and am immobilized with Lusophonic fear! 🙂 I shall explore your website further soon. Congratulations on providing a rare and important service on the planet! Randy
Thanks a lot!

Finally a great resource to improve understanding and pronunciation as spoken in Portugal. You do have to know some basic Portuguese, this is not for true beginners. But, it is great to get ready to visit Portugal and be able to communicate in their language.
Great Job!

I proudly announce that I became a member of your fantastic podcast two days ago. I found it by chance, surfing the Internet, and after some quick glances, I was enthusiastic. …although being fluent in Italian, the first time when I heard Portuguese I could not understand a single word. Now, slowly, slowly, it gets better and better…thanks also to your podcast……A big hug to all of you and your team, un abbraccio forte, and I’m looking forward to hearing, seeing, and reading more of this wonderful podcast.

I’ve been speaking and learning Portuguese for years and am still ashamed to claim I speak it because I feel I only really speak half the language – the Brazilian half! These podcasts – particularly the Diálogos – fill such a helpful gap for improving comprehension of European Portuguese – great podcast thank you!
Thank you so much guys…

I learned Portuguese in only six months since my mother tongue is Spanish. However here in my country Brazilian Portuguese is the most popular version of Portuguese. The day I knew about European Portuguese I immediately fell in love with it! And it was until that day that I realised that Brazilians speak in a funny way haha xD. Thank you so much guys for everything you’re doing. Keep up the good job! Greetings from Mexico. 😀

Hey there just letting you guys know the podcasts have been a great help for my oral comprehension! I’m a Peace Corps volunteer in Mozambique and have to teach physics in Portuguese so having actual exposure to the language with the transcripts was a huge help.It’s true that there aren’t many resources for European Portuguese so thanks for putting this together!
