Best source for European Portuguese


Name: Andrew H.

This podcast is the best source I’ve found for European Portuguese conversation. I love that it’s not boring repetition of words and phrases, but rather actual conversations between native and non-native speakers. Plus they’re super funny, especially Rui who I suspect must be an actor on the side because of all the (hilarious) roles he plays in the conversations. Thanks Rui & Joel!

Perfeito

…their podcasts are brilliant!

Name: Maricelli

I am now following Practice Portuguese and I am learning alot from them as well. Those guys are funny and their podcasts are brilliant. I just listened to the second episode and now understand the difference between “porque, porqué… and por que”.

Practice Portuguese is great!

Name: Andrew

I’ve been listening to the podcasts for a few weeks now and have started to pick up the gist of them. I just signed up as a premium member so I can accelerate my learning. Practice Portuguese is great! I do some podcasting myself, so I know how much work you must be putting in. Thanks for all of the effort and keep it up!

Excellent

Exactly what I have been looking for

Hi Joel and Rui, I absolutely love your podcast.. this is exactly what i have been looking for for months since i started learning Portuguese! Finding a good Continental Portguese resource is so hard and you guys are doing an amazing job.
Looking forward to new episodes!

Definite value for money

Name: Tom D.

The 4 Euro contribution is definite value for money. The podcasts are regular and of good length too, and continued listening is sure to help anyone with their Portuguese comprehension.

Really Cool Project

Name: Anthony

This is a really cool project you guys are working on and I’d love to help out in any way I can. I came across your site while searching for Portuguese Podcasts on iTunes. Most of the Podcasts were for Brazilian Portuguese which just sounds completely wrong to my ears. So I was glad to find a European Portuguese version!
Tchau,
Anthony

Realistic and Funny

Name: Dario

Boa Noite,

I am writing this email to support your work and say thanks for all the wonderful work you are doing. i think this sit is among the bests for what concerns european portuguese, which i believe is way better than the brazilian one. i am happy to have found such a nice site with dialogues which are both realistic and funny… ps, last year i had the chance of living in lisboa and aprender a lingua portuguesa, a lingua mais linda do mundo 😉

Great Work!

Name: Marc A.

Hi Joel and Rui Great work on the site. As you said somewhere, there really isn’t much out there with European Portuguese, particularly geared toward listening. Happily for me I’m the right level for this to be challenging (particularly the authentic conversations!) and I find it a great tool for learning conversational vocabulary. It’s also funny. I’ve only listened to 3 episodes so far, but your grandmother is hilarious, I hope she makes a reappearance! It’s such a good idea having people of different ages on the podcast because they do talk differently and this certainly replicates real life! I’m an English teacher to foreign students, and I’ve tried some authentic listenings like yours before with my students and they loved them. It’s amazing how differently we speak when not aware that we’re being recorded… Marc

I love your Website!

Name: Jill

Dear Rui and Joel, I love your website! Thank you for making a resource for Portuguese that is not Brazilian (especially since I’m traveling to Lisbon in June! … Keep up the good work!  I am so happy you are doing this. I have studied Portuguese for years, but continue to struggle with understanding spoken European Portuguese (or as my Portuguese friend says “the real thing”) so I am grateful for all the work you do.

Exactly What I Was Looking For!


Name: Highway_1

Fantastic execution! These guys hit the nail on the head in tone, content, authenticity, and humor. Especially appreciated is the European Portuguese which is so difcult to find resources for here in the US. Muito obrigado, Joel e Rui!

It helps me a lot!

Name: Chon

Hey, how are you guys? I just wanna tell you guys I like very much your project. It helps me A LOT! I am from Macau. and i am now living in Pamplona, Spain. I have always wanted to learn european portuguese (of which the accent l like more…maybe I was more exposed to the european accent more when I was in Macau) and I couldn’t find good materials. and what I needed was exactly listening and speaking practice because since I speak spanish I don’t really need to learn the grammar from basics. And every listening practice is in brazilian!! I am taking the portuguese level test in may in madrid..pfff. muito nervoso..anyway, shout out to you guys. keep up!
