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.

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.
