Se o Plano Correr Bem

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&#39;t get bored.

Love these!

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!

Excellent resource!
