Welcome to the Absolute Beginner Portuguese Bundle, the perfect starting point for anyone who wants to begin learning Portuguese. This bundle uses comprehensible input and TPRS (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling), proven methods to help you effortlessly acquire language skills. With seven short video lessons designed specifically for absolute beginners, each accompanied by interactive quizzes to help reinforce your learning. Whether starting from scratch or wanting to polish up your foundational skills, this mini-course will guide you through some key language concepts in a fun, digestible way. If you get stuck at any point or have questions, please don’t hesitate to comment below or on the Patreon or the Facebook page.
Each video introduces essential phrases and vocabulary, building your confidence to understand and use Portuguese in real-life situations. You’ll have access to the lesson plan whilst you have an active Bacalhau com Natas patreon subscription, allowing you to revisit the content anytime to keep practising and improving. But if you prefer not to commit to a monthly payment plan, you can get access to the written exercises (PDF format only) for a one-time fee here. Enjoy the journey!
Next, you can watch all 7 videos in a row for free on YouTube. Then, below are all the links to the premium exercises I’ve written to help you confirm the vocabulary you have just acquired. I recommend watching the playlist at least once to get into the mindset. The videos are short with plenty of repetition. So reserve about 10 to 15 minutes for that.
