Follow our main characters around Portugal (mainland and islands) as they unravel a family mystery. In each chapter of this course, you will get a new scene from the movie and learn some aspect of the Portuguese language, whether grammar, pronunciation, or vocabulary.
Do you find traditional teaching methods boring and demotivating? We get you! Don't expect textbook-based lessons or long grammar memorizing sessions from The Journey.
Instead, You Will Get:
Real, practical language you can use to interact with native speakers.
Fun video-based and interactive lessons, with humorous dialogs and a motivating reward system that will get you hooked from the start.
A personalized experience at your own pace, knowing the Portuguese With Carla team and community are there to support you each step of the way.
A science-based approach to language: how you can naturally learn it.
After growing up in Portugal, Carla moved to England and soon began teaching European Portuguese.
Over the past decade, she developed a unique teaching style incorporating science-based techniques to help her students learn while having fun.
Along with her husband Marcos, she created The Journey, a program in which she lets you take the lead. Buying it, you can think of her as your interface. You don't need to know how the engine is built to be able to drive, but when you get stuck, Carla and her team will be there to help.

What Our Members Are Saying...
Studying Portuguese for a while now and after searching around all the YouTube videos, I learn more just from watching the interaction between Carla and Marcos. The beautiful teaching method allows the student to understand what is actually being said.

The Journey
Liked The Journey best I can tell you! With Portuguese with Carla you've taken several other courses and she's far ahead of the rest. What makes this really good is focusing on European Portuguese (not Brazilian!) without having to struggle.

The Journey
This is honestly how to learn Portuguese. Totally instinctive. You will find explanations all along the Journey, with clear feedback all the way. The teacher is really great fun and immediately feedback is given to help you improve. Highly recommended.

The Journey
Well, 3 reasons. First, because it alludes to the "journey" the learner will have from knowing nothing about the language to being able to talk, listen and enjoy it. And second, it's the name of the series. And third, it's the programme on this website that serves as the backbone for the program.
The Journey includes 80+ induction videos, online sketches and lectures tailored to your specific goals, full support from our dedicated team, lesson-specific assignments, a variety of community features including forums, and clear progress trackers.
The Journey is designed for learners of all levels — from complete beginners to those who feel stuck after years of study. Carla and her team will guide you every step of the way.
The Journey is a self-paced program with community support. While there is no formal one-on-one component, Carla and her team are available to assist you through the platform.
You can learn at your own pace. We recommend dedicating at least 20–30 minutes per day for the best results, but the program is fully flexible.
There is no daily limit. You are free to progress as fast or as slowly as you like. The Journey adapts to your schedule.
Yes! We offer a 7-day free trial so you can experience The Journey risk-free before committing to a subscription.
We accept all major credit cards and PayPal. Subscriptions are billed monthly or annually depending on the plan you choose.
You can cancel your subscription at any time from your account dashboard. If you cancel during your free trial, you will not be charged.
Discover the instinctive method that feels more natural than learning a language.
