Practice Portuguese

We go for a walk, talk about our favourite music genres, play a “name the first artist you think of” game, and arrive at the gym still arguing about who really is the king and queen of pop. In this episode you’ll hear natural Portuguese around music vocabulary and genres, plus useful expressions for opinions, preferences, and struggling to label things (like “rótulos” and “sobrepõem-se”).

Who's the better liar, Rui or Joel? 🤥 Today we'll practice using past tense verb conjugations to discuss past experiences. Can you detect which of our stories are true, and which are total lies?

What do Portuguese people eat for breakfast? Why do we greet women with two kisses on the cheek? And who eats 'Bolas de Berlim' at the beach? In this live-recorded episode, Rui and Joel discuss some of Portugal's most interesting habits.

Joel sits down with João, a fellow musician and also a music teacher. Explore music-related vocabulary as João related to his passion for music, shares his first steps into the music world, and even gives a brief theory lesson!
