  • Summary

  • Are you ready to supercharge your European Portuguese listening comprehension?

    Our Portuguese podcast, featuring a Portugal speaking style, is the perfect tool for you. Studies show that the key to mastering a second language is through repetition and active processing.

    That's why each episode of our podcast features a story in Portuguese, followed by a sentence-by-sentence retelling that alternates between Portuguese and English.

    This approach not only allows you to fully understand and absorb the vocabulary and grammar but also provides a bilingual support to aid your listening comprehension. But we don't stop there.

    Research in sociolinguistics highlights the importance of culture in language learning, which is why we provide a list of vocabulary words and a transcript of the audio to help you understand the cultural context of the story. And for your convenience, we also include a transcript of the audio to help you refer back to any parts you may have struggled with.

    Our podcast is not just for language learners, it's also for travelers or people who wants to connect with their roots. Are you planning a trip to Lisbon, Porto, or Faro? Maybe you want to speak Portuguese with your grandparents from Lisbon?

    Our podcast will provide you with the cultural and linguistic background needed to fully immerse yourself in Portuguese-speaking regions like Portugal, Brazil, and Mozambique. Our podcast is based on the latest research in linguistics, sociolinguistics,
    psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and education to provide the most effective method for mastering Portuguese listening comprehension.
