Carla’s podcast and accompanying 30 day mini course has introduced me to a whole new world. Along with her husband, Marlon, Carla has taken great pains to introduce me to Portuguese. I am grateful for the free content that she has provided. I am learning how to pronounce Portuguese through the...Read full review »

This is a great way to learn Portuguese. First, learn some grammar, then use this podcast to learn practical conversation. The format is very helpful! They start with a short, realistic conversation. Then go over it slowly, line by line explaining the words and practicing the pronunciation. Love...Read full review »

Thank you for providing this amazing podcast. I’ve been married to a Euro Portuguese for 10 years and living in the states, it’s hard to find classes that are not Brazilian. So finding your Journey class and the Podcast has been great for me. My husband has no patience to teach but he is willing...Read full review »

This podcast is the closest you will get to taking an actual class which is not so easy to do in the times of COVID. Carla has a wonderful, melodic voice and her kindness actually feels palpable. I could be wrong about that—she could be a beast-haha!! But she SOUNDS like someone you would be...Read full review »

I swear if all language podcasts were like this one..... excellent! Unfortunately I have decided to become completely fluent in Spanish first, and there is no Spanish podcast that comes close to this level, which makes me sad!

I’ve tried so many podcasts and this one is definitely the best. It’s very appreciated how slowly you go through words and meaning. Please continue to make them because they have really helped me!🙈

A lively way to learn Portuguese, with extras like flashcards and reread-along text. Care to make it a complete learning experience, though these two could have coasted on personality.

I love the podcast so far and I really appreciate it. I also love that this is teaching European Portuguese because I’m learning Portuguese as my boyfriend and his family are originally from São Miguel, Portugal. Most other resources seem to focus on Brazilian Portuguese so I felt very lucky to...Read full review »

Just an outstanding podcast for learning Portuguese. They go through the transcript word by word, and explain everything clearly. They also have some quizzes and learning aids for each podcast. Both Carla and Marlon also provide really helpful insight as native Portuguese speakers. Very...Read full review »

Love the free lessons. Carla is great, but Marlon just yammers on.

Finally! This is what I’ve been looking for, a tool to help not only learn European Portugese phrases & vocabulary but most importantly to learn to HEAR it the way it’s really spoken, which in Portugal is crucial!! We’ve spent a lot of time in Portugal over the past year, taken private...Read full review »

As total newbie to Portuguese (and a non-native speaker of English), I'm using the podcast continuously since some weeks now, and I've finished the majority of their lessons. It feels like having very friendly, patient teachers from abroad visiting. Both Carla and her man have very...Read full review »

So I’ve been learning Portuguese (via Duolingo) for about a year now and have a basic understanding of the language. In an effort to grow my skills especially with listening to native speakers & speaking I’ve started listening to this podcast. I think it’s alright, and it’s been helpful, but...Read full review »

I’m studying European Portuguese with a wonderful teacher in my city, but class meets just once a week. I feel that I need more practice listening and pronouncing words correctly, and this podcast is perfect for my needs. It couldn’t be better if I had submitted a wish list of everything I...Read full review »

I listen to this podcast everyday! I’m moving to Lisbon from the United States in December and listening to marlon and Carla converse has gotten me to a place where I feel comfortable with the language. Thanks so much for what you do!

Carla and Marlon! Thank you so so so much for doing this European Portuguese podcast! Two years ago, I decided to travel to Portugal for my 30th birthday. Several months ago I started listening to your podcast to prepare for my trip. I am here in Lisboa now, and while I’m not fluent in Pt by any...Read full review »

I am learning Portuguese (English main language but also some French and Italian). So far, so good. The first few times, it is easier to follow along with their written context. The fact is I am sticking with it and enjoying the podcasts. Good sense of humour.

Compelling and useful.

I love this podcast (and all of the amazing learning tools that go with it)! Good resources to learn European are hard to find and over 5 years I've looked through a lot. This podcast isn't only just teaching me new vocabulary, but local sayings and culture which is HUGE in helping me...Read full review »

I have had a pleasure to be taught by Carla a while back and she has been great - I learnt a great deal from her and she inspired the confidence in me to just 'go for it'. So I was really happy to see on Facebook (yes, she's on social media - go ahead and follow her) that Carla and her husband...Read full review »

I am an educator in the United States. I have been listening to this pod cast for about 8 weeks. Before this pod cast and the learning center on their website I was unable to retain much Portuguese at all. In just 8 weeks I feel Very comfortable and much more excited about my trip to Portugal....Read full review »

This is the best podcast for European Portuguese learners I've come across so far. Carla and Marlon are doing a great job explaining not only Portuguese words and expressions they use in their dialogues but also talking about certain aspects of life in Portugal. There is a script which is always...Read full review »

This husband and wife team are fantastic tutors. My Portuguese has improved thanks to these two. I especially like the interaction they have and they break down the hard words and have text for you to follow. If you purchase 1 Portuguese podcast this is the one to download.
