A real treasure trove of valuable, thorough research and clear explanations. I am going to write it down in my Portuguese notebook. You are the best… and I am not given to superfluous compliments to massage people´s ego. Speaking French can be a handicap because the acute accent on “é” closes the sound whereas in Portuguese it opens it up.

Thanks for your labor in making this site and your YouTube channel. I how have an appreciation of why Portuguese conversations in the real world are impossible to decider as words are blended together and why this is so. I’m going back to Lisboa this year (hope the mask are gone) and see if the Snack Bar I eat at almost each day is still open. I spoke no Portuguese except one word social interactions and they spoke no English. They had a birthday and invited me to join by waving hands for me to come over. Many other things happen as well and I want to see them and speak in sentences.

This video is AMAZING for Portuguese learners. Your language strategies are VERY EFFECTIVE due to constant repetition, questions and answers, drawings, hand and facial gestures, as well as screen text.

Comprehensible Input Videos

I just want to say how much i appreciate your comprehensible input videos. I’m learning European Portuguese and have found it so difficult to find European Portuguese videos (brazilian seems far more common) As a beginner I enjoy listening and picking up the vocabulary with time. Please do make many more, very few youtubers are doing this for European Portuguese 🙏🏼 Thank you
