  • The little spat at the beginning was masterfully managed by Rui 🙂 Joel needed some time to recover and look vaguely happy to be there:-)))

  • Este podcast é sobre falar com os vizinhos, mas eu reparei no hábito de não se envolver em conversas, quando vou jogar golfe em Portugal. Já joguei golfe em vários clubes em Portugal e outros jogadores ou membros nunca se aproximaram de mim quando entro no clube pela primeira ou segunda vez. Isto é o oposto de Inglaterra, onde és sempre abordado e te perguntam a opinião sobre o campo, onde jogas regularmente, o teu handicap, etc. A conversa é sempre sobre golfe, porque é algo que temos em comum.

  • Since I am Learning Portuguese, watching podcast and videos of daily living is very helpful. Especially with Portuguese and English subtitles. You could have one about what you did for the weekend. Can start off on Friday Night and go through Sunday or Just one day. If you go into detail, you would have plenty of content. You can also talk about your Business and that process, especially since you have been at it a while. It is Summer, what have you done? What do people in Portugal do in Summer. Relive your Summers. So many. Hoping you post more!! Thanks for all of your help.

    • Great, thank you for your suggestions! We actually have already covered some of them. For example, you might enjoy this podcast episode explaining how Practice Portuguese became what it is today: Podcast: A Origem do Practice Portuguese | Practice Portuguese

      In our library of shorties, by using our filters for targeted content, you might also find some extra useful content. Meanwhile, we’ll continue working on future releases in line with everyone’s inputs 🙂

  • In South Africa, where I lived most of my life , we are generally friendly with our neighbours and will almost always greet everyone we see regularly around our home or work place . Our most common greeting is the word “ howzit “ which is a slang word for a combination of “ hello , how are you “ . Generally the other person replies with the same “ howzit “ . We don’t normally engage much more than the greeting unless we know each other to some degree or another.

  • As experiênicas da minha esposa e eu eram muito diferentes do que aquelas descrito neste vídeo. As pessoas portugueses têm sempre estado bem educadas e amigaveis para nós. Talvez seja porque nós sempre ficamos nos AL’s e eles acham que somos turistas. Na nossa visita passda, um canalizador juntou-se a mim no elevador e imediatemente começou a perguntar-me sobre o tempo. Ele achou que estava demasiado quente em Lisboa até eu lhe disse que moro num deserto nos Estaods Unidos. Não foi o Joel ou o Rui. 🙂
