Podcast 9 is out! And this time we find ourselves at a restaurant. Once again, we have a special guest in this episode. Only this time with a touch of an Angolan accent! We recommend you listen to the end and enjoy the extras as well as making the most of the exercises below. Enjoy!

In this week's free Portuguese European lesson, our fictitious characters meet up with an acquaintance and get some restaurant recommendation. The adventure in Funchal continues. Again, we have a special guest in this podcast episode. Another voice, another native Portuguese speaker. Listen to the end, you might get some bonus material. :) Enjoy

In this week's lesson Marlon gets all excited about the television in the hotel room and Carla is mesmerised by the view of Funchal's harbour (definitely worth a visit btw). We keep adding value to the podcast, and in this week's Portuguese With Carla page, on top of the audio quiz you can test yourself with, we also have a fun flashcard memorising game. This will feature in all future podcasts. Enjoy

Another edition of Portuguese With Carla Podcast, another free lesson on European Portuguese. This week we bring another guest to help us out. Over time, different accents, different voices with varied tones and rhythms will help you grasp the spoken language more and more easily. Don't forget to try the exercise at the end of this post. How well do you understand coloquial Portuguese from Portugal? Test yourself with our quiz. Enjoy! _______ Narrativa: M - Olha, deve ser a senhora da recepção… C - Sim , estou a ir.

It has been a little while but we’re back. More free Portuguese lessons with Carla and the husband (Marlon). We pick up more or less where we left off: just getting to our Hotel room. Listen out of a special guest. Also in this lesson: What Marlon’s Grand mom sounds like when under the effect of powerful “get to sleep” drugs. Enjoy!  

The 4th lesson in our free portuguese audio course is here. We continue following our imaginary friends on their portuguese holiday. This week they venture into a hotel. What common portuguese expressions will they hear and use? I also introduce you to cardinal numbers. Also in this lesson:  Research shows that humans store vocabulary in the brain more in the form of a complex web on interdependencies than in the commonly accepted “storage box” fashion. Enjoy By Carla Sabala  

For the 3rd lesson in our free portuguese course we’ve decided to start a coherent and continuous journey with our dialogs from week to week.  We will follow a family on their holiday in Portugal. What sort of things are they likely to encounter? What are the common phrases and expressions? Also in this lesson: How can singing help when learning a new language? Listen in. Thanks By Carla Sabala  

In this second free portuguese lesson in our course we show you what asking for directions in portuguese sounds like. Also, a brief introduction to numbers and a few extra tidbits. In our science section, Marlon talks about the brain plasticity and how an understanding of it can help you learn a new language so much faster. Any questions or observations, just leave a comment.
