Customer Reviews
Love these!
I’ve tried so many different websites to learn Portuguese and these guys are BY FAR the best. It’s a huge help to have a source for European Portuguese audio, since so many resources are in Brazilian Portuguese. The Shorties are the perfect length to be challenging without feeling overwhelming. I play them over and over when I’m on the go to try to understand as much as I can, then later go through the transcripts on their website to fill in the gaps. I especially like the dialogues because they let you hear how Portuguese is spoken in real-life and include a ton of useful phrases. Plus, new episodes are added constantly, so I don't get bored.
Excellent resource!
These shorties are perfect for beginners to start hearing and comprehending portuguese! They are perfect if you are “short” on time and want to sneak a little practice in during the day. I use these when I am driving some where or just want a quick practice session. The speakers are also different so you get different accents and hear different people speaking so it expands your comprehension even more!
I listen to these repeatedly in the car
The episodes here are some of my go-to listening in the car (or walking around with headphones on). They're short but super useful – often dialogues, which I prefer – so I can listen to a bunch in a short period of time but squeeze a ton of practice out of it. And time is something I have short in supply, well, most of the time. I actually find myself replaying the same episode many times and seeing how much I can improve on effortlessly picking up the conversation without pausing, slowing down, relistening, or reading the subtitles/transcripts. Can't wait to devour more of these. Please more dialogues!
