What our members are saying...

I just want to say how happy I am with the Live Practice. Daniel and Joana have been wonderful, and yesterday I got to meet Susana. She is easy to understand and converse with. She put me at ease, and it helped build my confidence. As I mentioned the AI Chat is also proving to be a great addition to the website. I'm finding that using both is really accelerating my learning. I am so glad I subscribed to The Journey although it's only been three months I know I certainly will be renewing next year!

I very much enjoy the way in which you both teach Portuguese. I agree with your strategy of focusing on pronunciation and basic conversational speech before grammar.

All these 'everyday expressions' and the definitions, which show me words I can use instead of others make me feel so much familiar with the portuguese language. In the beginning I did not think, that I would spent so much time with your program. But for me it is worth eyery minute.

So, are you ready to start your journey to fluency one step ahead?

FAQs

Well, 2 reasons. First, because it aludes to the “journey” the learner will take from knowing, perhaps, next to nothing of the language to fluency by the end of it. And second, it’s the name of the movie we shot that serves as the backbone for the program.

In this program you will follow our 2 main characters on their travels around Portugal (mainland and islands) as they try to unravel a family mystery. 

As you do, we will use each scene to teach you something new about the Portuguese language, either grammar, pronunciation or something else.

We do this initially by means of over 80 induction video lessons. This is then supplemented with extra exposure through video sketches and quizzes tailored to cover specific points.

We then consolidate the whole thing by giving you lesson-specific assignments.

This is just scratching the surface of what the program has to offer. There is a lot more side material that covers things like idiomatic expressions or the portuguese culture for example.

On top of all that, you have access to myself and Márlon in case you get stuck somewhere along the “road”.

You can start the program with 0 knowledge of the language, as we will cover all the basics. However, from the get go, we offer you video explanations for our sketches not only in English but in Portuguese. As a result, even intermediate students benefit from starting at the top. Of course you can spend as much time on each section as you wish.

In technical terms, we cover material up to, what textbooks normally associate with C1 and C2 levels. Things like conjunctive tenses or other more complex grammar aspects of the language. Of course, we are constantly adding more material.

I am happy to answer questions students have about the language. Perhaps a particular thing they are struggling to understand. However, the program does not include one-on-one lessons with me. It is mainly a “self-taking” program.

That really does depends on how much you can dedicate to it. Learning a language up to fluency point will likely take many months, even if you can dedicate a lot of time to it.

There is absolutely no limit to the amount of time you can spend on the site. And you can certainly keep yourself very busy with the program on a daily basis. After each “chapter”, which contains multiple lessons, you generally have a 3 day gap until the next chapter is unlocked. This is done on purpose so as to give you time to consolidate the points learned. During this period, we give you homework and also unlock side content to keep you busy and motivated.
