Learn Portuguese with teacher Rafael and his student Ava. Each lesson is like going for a coffee with your friend who happens to speak Portuguese and is helping you learn in a relaxed, enjoyable way.</p><br>Coffee Break Portuguese does not focus on European or Brazilian Portuguese specifically: instead you'll be learning to use Portuguese in a way you'll be understood throughout the Portuguese-speaking world. Rafael, our main teacher, is from Brazil, but you'll also get to know Catarina from Portugal in our episodes.</p><br>Coffee Break Portuguese is&nbsp;not&nbsp;a simple series of "listen and repeat" audio programmes: in each lesson Rafael explains how the language works, helping Ava - and you - to manipulate the language and use it in practical situations. As a learner Ava asks questions, and makes mistakes, so through Rafael's explanations, corrections and pronunciation tips you'll build your confidence and begin to understand and speak the language.</p><br>You'll also build your cultural knowledge with the help of our cultural correspondent Catarina who shares information on cultural and linguistic points from around the Portuguese-speaking world.</p><br>In the same time it takes you to sit down and enjoy a coffee in your favourite coffee shop, you can make progress with your Portuguese. Our 20 minute lessons are perfect to keep you focused and let you develop your confidence in regular sessions.</p><br>You can find support materials for Coffee Break Portuguese in the online course <a href="https://coffeebreaklanguages.com/portuguese" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">by clicking here here</a>.</p><br>Would you like a free Portuguese lesson and language learning tips in your inbox every week? <a href="https://coffeebreaklanguages.com/newsletter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sign up for the Coffee Break Portuguese newsletter</a>.</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
