Very slow progress… until I found your site

Name: Danielle

Congratulations for your great job Rui and Joel!  I started to learn Portuguese two months ago and I was not too happy with my very slow progress (as a French native) until I found your site.  Now I am rocketting, thanks to you.  I still use my books, but only as reference for the grammar, especially the verbs.  I realised that my brain just needs to be entertained in order to learn. Dê aos avós os meus cumprimentos.

My trip last year to Portugal went well, thanks to your help…!

This will help us teach our three children…

Looking forward to listening to European portuguese. My husband’s family is from San Miguel, and this will help us teach our three children their family’s language…

Your podcast is helping…

Name: Gail

Canadian living in Portugal (a year now) s-t-r-u-g-g-l-i-n-g with Portuguese — mostly the listening part. Can read it much more easily, but the sounds are difficult to match with the words…

Your podcast is helping, even though I have to hear the episodes over and over to pick out the words — to the point where I listen to them with only the dog for company…  if you’re ever in Porto when my dog’s around he will also recognize your voices!

Keep up the good work!

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

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

This is Genius!

Name: Scarlet

ok…first of all you guys are the best!! tell grandma that yes…this is genius!!! I am starting to get the hang of the language and I soooo appreciate you doing this in European Portuguese!!!!!…
