  • Adoro estes episódios secretos! Quero acabar muito mais Units para que eu possa ver, e desbloquear, mais diálogos como este. 🙂

  • This guy has the sexiest voice?!?! Can I say that? I wanna hear him tell me everything in Portuguese

      • Rui has a sexy voice too. Perhaps it is just Portuguese spoken clearly. If everyone spoke like these two, life would be so much nicer.

  • This is a fantastic unit, full of helpful vocabulary, and great information on the traditions at Christmas and the New Year in Portugal. The TV report was fun, I was thrilled to understand most of it, without reading the transcription. This is a first, as I usually have to rely on the transcription and the translation.
    Thank you again for a brilliant website

  • Very good website with a nice approach to teach a difficult language. I did Duolingo for a year before realising that it is “a different language”…. Now I start to understand more of what Portuguese people say. Thank you. The regular conversations are a must to improve understanding.

  • Is it Joseph Lambert doing the voice work? He does a good job in the forum and comments sections answering everyone’s questions – I didn’t know he was so multi-talented

  • Just wanted to thank you – on behalf of the Jews amongst us – for the references to Hanukah and the additional lesson focused on Hanukah. I now have the vocabulary to explain the holiday better to my friends in Portugal!

    • Thanks Jay! Let us know if there are any other particular phrases that would be useful and we can try to add a few more! 🙂
