“Gosto muito de este podcast! E perfeito para mim. Faz como 20 anos quando eu morei em Rio e sente que esqueci tudo de meu português. E muito fácil a escuta e lembra muitas palavras que não lembrei. Vou escutar a todos os episodes. Obrigado!”

“I grew up in São Paulo a long time ago. I hadn’t been back in 35 years and I fell in love with Brazil all over again.
While I had retained a good deal of Portuguese over the years, it was a struggle. Reading a lot helped of course, but understanding the spoken word was difficult. Especially for...”Read full review »

“As an English speaker I benefit from listening to both Foster and Alexia speak. Foster’s accent is easier for me, but the goal is to be able to understand native speakers, so I love being able to experience both in one short episode. I read the transcript and listen to one episode a day. I love...”Read full review »

“This podcast would be completely awesome if Alexia took a little pity on those of us who are not entirely fluent—who are listening to try to become more fluent—and slowed her speech down just a little bit. As it is, I can catch about 30-40 percent of what she's saying, but if she tapped the...”Read full review »
