“I’m a busy self-employed mom without much time to take formal classes or sit at a computer for online courses. But I need to brush up on my Portuguese for a job application and while my daycare kiddos are sleeping I can listen to this. It’s so helpful to hear all of this vocabulary and speech,...”Read full review »
“I have just started living and working in Brazil but often struggle with listening and having conversations beyond a basic level. This podcast is wonderfully helpful for working on listening but also, learning more advanced vocabulary. I hope they make more episodes! It’s a great podcast.”

“This podclass has helped me immensely over the last 4 years of self-study and in between occasional visits to lusophone countries. I am so comfortable with the format of the lessons, the repeated backup in English, the required repetition that permits me to practice imitating her accent, AND the...”Read full review »

“With so many various topics the material of this podcast is an excellent source for enriching Portuguese vocabularies.
Also, the audio is spoken in a reasonable speed for nonnative speakers to pick up.”
“I appreciate this instructor so much. It's hard to find resources that go beyond the basics. Any English speaker who is serious about speaking Portuguese needs this podcast”

“This is one of the worst "instructors" I have ever heard. It is as if I could teach others how to speak English merely because I can pronounce words correctly. I'm not an English teacher. I will not teach it to anyone. Neither should this person teach you Portuguese.”

“The format is that of repeating long sentences. The sentences are not spoken slowly as to clearly hear the articulation. Repeating the conversation has no meaning because it is not understood what was spoken. This podcast may be more appropriate for advanced levels, but certainly not beginners.”

“This podcast is aimed at advanced beginners, not complete beginners like me. I think that perhaps I'll try to build up my vocabulary first before coming back to this.”

“Content covers wide ranging cultural, everyday and musical topics. Charming presenter. The grammar sections are good but often at a higher level than the rest of the lesson. There is no repetition of phrases, which can be frustrating if you don't have free hands to rewind missed pronunciation”

“Been learning português on my own after falling madly in love with Brazil. This woman's voice reminds me everything I fell in love with in the first place - the slowness and the melody of the language, the enjoyment in pronouncing every word... Uma delicia! You'll find a huge selection of topics...”Read full review »

“Un niveau basic d'anglais est à maitriser pour la compréhension de ce podcast de cours de portugais BR.
Bien foutu dans l'ensemble, même sans manuel, permet de se familiariser avec la prononciation.”
“Me parece excelente el material para personas que estamos estudiando el idioma y necesitamos practicar el mismo. Muchas gracias por material como este.”
“Brazilian Podcast is great. I bought the entire Pimsleur course which I also like but Marina's course is the best. In addition to the well-structured language lessons, her cultural elements are invaluable. I strongly recommend paying the $10/month upgrade for the PDFs. It's totally worth it....”Read full review »

It's my goal to master the Portuguese language, and live in Brazil one day, maybe Rio, or Sao Paulo, and Godwilling, thanks to this podcast, my dreams can...”Read full review »
