  • O timing perfeito para este Shortie. As amendoeiras estão em floração neste momento aqui no Algarve. A nossa casa chama-se Casa Amêndoa e temos uma velha amendoeira no jardim. Todos os anos, quando a vejo florescer, penso nesta lenda!

  • I like these Shorties because they contain colloquial Portuguese. Despite having lived in Portugal for 11 years nearly 20 years ago a lot of them are new to me. I’m a funny level as my Reading and Grammar are a much higher level than my Listening and yet I want to revise both of these. Any suggestions?

    • Glad to hear you’re enjoying the Shorties! I think continuing to spend a lot of time on these will be really helpful for all of those skills: listening, reading, and grammar. Maybe you could also look through the units to find which grammar topics you need more practice with.

  • Linda história! Fora da minha casa há uma camada de neve de 20 centímetros (Holanda) . Mais uma vez uma coincidência! Mas eu sinto sobretudo saudades da florascão da Primavera.

    • Olá, Siovan. Quando se fala em ter a oportunidade de fazer algo, é comum usar-se o verbo poder, mais do que o verbo conseguir 🙂

  • My suggestion would be for all the website NOT to use gray and italic and small for translation, it is hardly readable, could you not switch to just smaller and black, that it would be much easier to read!!!

  • Muito obrigada por este podcast. A lenda é tão linda)

    Queria mais episódios como este e também alguns episódios sobre economia e política)
