The Essential European Portuguese Podcast

I have been tuning in since 2016. Their website along with their podcast inspired me to spend the summer in Lisbon back in 2017. I was able to have enough confidence to travel around and speak Portuguese and make friends. Learning with Rui and Joel will definitely take your listening comprehension and pronunciation to the next level. If you have the chance I would also recommended subscribing to their website. They have some grammar practices that will really help.
Day to day conversations

I really like the way you are presenting these shorties. Day to day conversations in common situations. Learning a foreign language starts with understanding what people talk about in various situations. These shorties offer a great help Here, in Alentejo, people speak very fast and it is very difficult to understand them but with daily practice it will improve….

I feel more understood by this site

Name: Gabie
Very many thanks for your help. I love the personal touches and the obvious engagement with the content. This is definitely your USP where other sites seem very impersonal and machine-created by tech guys. For me as an English speaker, seeing how proficient a fellow English speaker can become is incredibly inspiring but having a native speaker as well is really the perfect combination. As a learner I already feel more ‘understood’ by this site than other sites!

I love how you fold in common expressions that are so useful but would be so difficult to know as newcomer to the language. Yet at the same time the dialogue is so easy to follow. You have really thought carefully about how you present your material!

Natural sounding dialog
location: U.S.A.
posted: June 26, 2020
Name: John
A natural sounding dialog like this is not an easy thing to achieve at the elementary level. It flows logically. The rapid back and forth provides a nice rhythm. It has built-in repetition… It helps learners get a natural feel for certain details without the need for overt memorization. It highlights a useful phrase by making it the punch line of a humorous situation… And it is well acted and nicely recorded: all of which enhances memory and promotes acquisition. I hope you don’t mind these comments from a retired ESL teacher. Many thanks to everyone involved in producing your lessons!

Olá ! I spent 5 months in between Lisboa and Madeira ( soooo beautiful ). Unfortunately…I was studying on DUOLINGO without knowing that it was a BRAZILIAN Portuguese…;( Then i wanted to learn more like during my walk so I discovered you guys on IPOD on my cell ! Eureka ! Was so happy to hear you teaching in a very nice way correcting people that send their phrases etc. Then i check on the net to discover you two on video classes. Amazing ! Love it all. Getting familiar with the site. Already listened to a few and will continue because it will enhance my ability to learn more. Thank you so much ! You are doing an amazing job !
