What People Say

I am extremely impressed with this system! Each lesson comes in small bite size pieces. I spend somewhere between 20 minutes to an hour and a half a day on this website.

The presenters Braden and Thássia are charismatic and charming. Every lesson has the written Portuguese and the English translation. They speak at normal conversational speed then at a greatly slowed down speed for the student’s practice. All of this you can download to your computer or you can use a mobile device.

Then you are encouraged to write comments or questions after each lesson. Paloma is the person who has been responding to me. I always get a response within 24 hours and it has always been “spot on” and very helpful! Piotr from tech support has also responded to some inquiries I have made. You always feel supported!

Finally, I have to say that in this age of poor customer support and false advertising it is such a pleasant surprise to be able to say without hesitation, I am getting way more than I paid for! This has to be one of the best learning tools available today! I highly recommend Portuguese Pod 101!!!!

As someone who speaks Darija (Moroccan Arabic), French, English and Finnish, I was finding Portuguese very difficult. I tried several methods but in the end was saved by coming across PortuguesePod101. The teaching method is thorough, concise and user-friendly. It is also at a pace that is perfect for maximum absorption. On arriving in Brazil I was well equipped to meet and greet people as well as negotiate over meals and other daily necessities . To those who put this programme together - Obrigado pela sua ajuda!

PortuguesePod101, has been an essential tool to me which has helped me to enhance and develop my skills further. I have improved on my oral aspect as well as written skills but still at beginners level. I am a Portuguese student at tertiary level and I look forward to further continue studying it such that I will also further the knowledge of Portuguese here in Zimbabwe to non-Portuguese speakers.
This product proves to be the best product which also provides video and picture lessons where one can actually listen and see at the same time. More so with the use of PDF formats which contain written content of the video and audio formats. Thus, a total and comprehensive package for a student who is learning Portuguese for the first time.

Thank you very much guys for such a great programme.

I speak English & Afrikaans but have been interested in learning Brazilian Portuguese. I do need practice so it is extremely difficult because no one in my immediate vicinity speaks Portuguese. But now, my progress has been significant due to the excellent layout & structure of the video lessons of PortuguesePod101.com. It is very practical with pictures illustrations that makes my learning experience come to life. It is personal, fun & easy. The translations are brilliant and are helping me with some tricky Portuguese grammar. This course Is also helping me to think in Portuguese instead of jumping back & forth from English to Portuguese all the time.

Great and easy way to learn Portuguese
