Her love of the Portuguese language is obvious from the care she puts into teaching it. Her dedication to this project is evident in its excellent production quality. A new module appears almost every week.īest of all, Susana fully supports the Portuguese Lab by making herself accessible via email to questions (the response usually comes within 24 hours) about anything in the modules. Regardless of the module type, each module contains a complete audio file of the lesson, a pdf of the audio file, and exercises (audio and pdf) to review and reinforce the lesson. Not all the modules follow this structure – some contain just a short story for listening comprehension practice and new vocabulary while others are focused on grammar or verbs subjects. Finally, the ‘Dialogue’ module contains a short scenario in which the vocabulary and contexts are played in a real life dramatization. This module with be followed up with an ‘Action’ module which places the new vocabulary in simple contexts (grammar), e.g. A ‘Vocabulary’ module might introduce a set of words and verbs about a subject (Time) or a real life situation (At the Coffee Shop). Variety is the engine that makes the Portuguese Lab so enjoyable as a learning tool. The modules are highly absorbable in length and content - you don't get overwhelmed. Each module (rated for the student's level) touches on a different aspect of grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and even culture. This is by far the best Standard European Portuguese language learning site available on the web. The best European Portuguese learning site Well, at least we nipped that before getting into trouble.

Ah, and don't use 'voce' as a beginner as you'll likely insult the other person. I use this with my young kids, and their native Portuguese speaking mother (and my wife) fully approves of the pronunciation and vocabulary choices.


This is better than using a tourist guide approach. Enjoy your walk or your trip with the audio, then go to the supporting web page for that episode and get even more material to try out. The audio podcasts are well arranged AND supported with nicely arranged printed materials. 37 Ratings Best for listening, Excellent study materials
