learn Portuguese the fun way

I’ve already finished the course once, and I’m starting it again to practice more. The course is very well made, the structure is great, and the short videos make learning much easier! I’m undoubtedly improving my pronunciation thanks to the course!

I'm really enjoying the course! I used to be a French teacher and I have high standards. The pauses after each example are great for repeating them after you, and the course is very well designed.

Thank you so much for these lessons! Your explanations are great and have helped me discover things I didn’t know. I’ll need to go through each lesson several times to really absorb everything.

I love the course! The joy that you express in sharing your language permeates everything that you do and I wanted to hop on board early and often. Please keep up the great work!

I’ve been living in Portugal for two years, and the B1 Course has helped me tremendously in improving my Portuguese - especially grammar, verb tenses, and pronunciation. I live in a completely Portuguese neighborhood in Coimbra, and the course has been essential for improving my conversations with my neighbors and helping me integrate better into the country. I now feel that I have a much wider vocabulary than when I started. I recommend the B1 Course to anyone who already has some basic knowledge of Portuguese and wants to gain confidence speaking day to day. I also really enjoyed the Cultural Moments and the way the story is told throughout the course!

I’m Finnish, and I’m learning Portuguese because my husband and son are Portuguese. It’s very important to me to be able to speak Portuguese with them and with my husband’s family. What I liked most about the B1 Course was the variety of content - there were grammar lessons, phonetics lessons, and Cultural Moments. The grammar lessons were especially important to me since I had never studied grammar before. I recommend the B1 Course to anyone who wants to learn Portuguese at their own pace and who is interested in Portugal!

I live in Portugal and already spoke Brazilian Portuguese, but I decided to learn European Portuguese. The B1 Course is excellent, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their European Portuguese. It’s important to have some foundation in the language, but if your goal is to speak and understand it better, this course is a great choice. I’ve already recommended it to several foreign friends who live here in Portugal! I truly admire Leo’s work - it’s always of the highest quality, professional, engaging, and above all, very useful for anyone using his materials.

You're the third teacher to explain the personal infinitive to me - but the first one who actually made me understand it. Thank you!

I’m really enjoying the step-by-step unlocking of each module of the B1 Course - it helps me solidify each lesson before moving on. If I had immediate access to everything, I know I’d end up rushing through it too quickly.

And I loved the explanation about contractions with object pronouns - it all makes sense now when I see them in messages!

I really enjoy Leo's podcasts, but I needed something more interactive - and the B1 Intermediate Course was perfect. I liked the format, David’s story was really interesting, and the grammar and Cultural Moments were very useful. I recommend it to anyone looking to improve their intermediate level of Portuguese. Thank you!

The B1 Course is very well put together. It’s great that it follows a storyline - David’s story - with vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation sections along the way. I also really appreciated how you brought us closer to Portuguese culture and history through the Cultural Moments. I would recommend this course to anyone who loves Portugal or the Portuguese language.

Hi Leo, I did Erasmus in Aveiro in 2017 and fell in love with the country and its culture! I just wanted to say that I’m really enjoying your B1 Course! Thank you so much for everything. I really admire your work! Thank you!

I really enjoyed the Cultural Moments in the B1 Course. I hope more people who visit Portugal take the time to learn a bit of Portuguese and also look into ways to help with the challenges that exist. Thank you so much for the course!

I loved the style of the lessons - they’re short, clearly explained, and easy to follow, even for beginners. It’s great to be able to learn from a native Portuguese speaker and hear the language used naturally. I also found it really helpful to repeat the sentences out loud and hear how they’re pronounced correctly. I feel like I’m finally gaining the confidence to speak and understand Portuguese better.

I consider the B1 Course perfect, with all the materials and videos.

I’ve already completed the B1 course and took the final test, scoring 95 out of 100.

It’s the best course I’ve ever taken. I really appreciate your teaching style, the variety of content, the detailed explanations, the repetition, and the tips and suggestions on how to study. Congratulations to you and the team!

I really enjoyed the B1 Course because it’s very well structured. One big plus is how methodical it is - there are videos, virtual conversations, crossword puzzles, and I especially liked the concept of exercises corrected by ChatGPT. It’s amazing and works really well.

Another highlight is the chapter breakdowns. You give examples, explain things clearly, go over everything again, and give feedback. It really helped me a lot!

Leo is a truly gifted language teacher. I have had five language teachers (six including AI) over two years and can say with certainty that his teaching style, course structure and creativity surpass all of my previous experiences.

His free podcasts about Portuguese history and culture compliment his outstanding B1 course. I find myself with stronger speaking, writing and listening skills and have really developed a strong appreciation of the Portuguese language and culture. If you're looking to improve your skills and get to the next level, Leo is the guy to help get you there.

Learning the rule in the stressing of the syllables really opened my eyes to figuring out how to properly pronounce words correctly in Portuguese. I have always struggled with putting emphasis in the wrong part of the word, and the first lesson in this course already helped me improve my spelling with proper accent use!

It's awesome to finally have a place to learn proper European Portuguese and be able to connect to my ancestral mother tongue. Thank you, Leo!

I just completed the Perfect Portuguese Pronunciation Program for the first time and I couldn’t be happier! Thank you Leo for creating this course and for your passion in sharing your language and culture with the world!

The course is very well structured, and Leo pays attention to detail, while still keeping each lesson short and clear. The videos are high quality, and I love that they're short and broken into the different sounds and letters, so that we can come back to our specific weaknesses. I took some notes of my own and will be reviewing the videos several times until the Portuguese pronunciation feels natural to me.

I think everybody wanting to learn a language should start with pronunciation. Especially with a language like European Portuguese, where there are so many subtleties and changes in pronunciation. It makes such a big difference!

The Pronunciation Program is really good, it helped me tremendously in improving my pronunciation and understanding a lot of aspects of Portuguese phonetics that are different from Spanish.

It is a course that I follow again and again because each time I learn something new!

I started the Pronunciation Program quite recently and I have already found it immensely helpful in fine-tuning my pronunciation. My pronunciation training has always consisted solely of repeating words and phrases from Portuguese content, and while this method has been effective, Leo's course has made me realise that I’ve been missing some of the finer points and nuances in Portuguese pronunciation.

The lessons are engaging, clear and concise, and due to the way that the content is broken up, it’s very easy to access any section for review. This course has become an essential part of my Portuguese toolkit and if I didn’t own it already it would have been on my Christmas list. My only regret is that I didn't start sooner!

Leo's Portuguese Pronunciation Program is outstanding!

I am an engineer and I "need" some structure. Portuguese pronunciation, however, appears to be sometimes quite confusing. Leo’s Pronunciation Program provides the structure that I was looking for and assures comprehensive understanding. The learning units are very clear and easy to understand, and it’s fun to work through the program!

For those who strive for good Portuguese pronunciation, Leo’s program is a must-have! It's worth every cent.

Leo's Pronunciation Program is very detailed and comprehensive, while at the same time remaining easy to navigate and intuitive. The sound recognition exercises helped me to improve my listening comprehension, and the repetition drills were very useful and efective in nailing down the correct pronunciation.

Whenever I revisit the course, I feel like I always learn something new and I always find the answers to my questions. I recommend it to anyone who loves the Portuguese language and that wants to feel a bit more Portuguese, a bit more "tuga".
