Hi all ! Unfortunately I cannot download the Pdf Script of the first podcast episode. Anyone helping me? thanks in advance !
Adeus !
Sorry about that, thanks for letting us know. It’s been corrected!
I am trying to learn European Portuguese with the intention of moving to Portugal because I love the place, the culture and the people. This resource is great for me because you speak clearly and reasonably slowly which allows me to pick out the words I already know and see how you use them in sentences. For me listening and comprehension is the hardest part and the podcasts are great for that. Thank you.
O segundo article foi algo complicado é assim bastante chato e confuso. O primeiro foi mais interessante e mais efectivo para mim. Talvez os com uma mentalidade mais científica prefeririam o segunfo, porem estou com acordo com Jodl.
Hi, I’m glad to have found a resource for learning European Portuguese as the market is dominated by Brazilian Portuguese learning material. Speaking of which, as Europeans perhaps the British spelling of the English language should be used instead of American English. Ergo it should be ‘Practise Portuguese’ and not ‘Practice Portuguese’. Just saying 🙂
You’ve got a point, and the spelling of “Practice/Practise” isn’t lost on us! We chose that spelling because many aren’t familiar with or use the practise vs. practice rule in North America. Aside from that, we originally decided for the site to be in Canadian English as a bit of a compromise between US and British English… plus, as a Canadian, I was certainly biased in making that decision 🙂 In the future, we hope to offer additional base languages, which could certainly include splitting into a couple different English options, (American and British). Thanks for your support!
