How to improve your Portuguese

 

1 – Read online Brazilian Magazines and Newspapers. Even if you are a beginner there will still be words that you will recognise and sentences you will be able to understand. Click here for a  few ideas.

2 – Use Lingro to read online articles in Portuguese. It makes all the words of the article clickable and when you click on them a small window opens on the same page with the definition. It also saves a list of the words you clicked on so that you can review them later. Click here for a video-tutorial I made a few weeks ago.

3. Download a Portuguese language application for your phone/tablet. Click here for my recent post with my review of some of them

4 – Watch Brazilian films. Here is a list of 10 films that I recommend.

5 – Play a game on Lyrics Training. Here is a video-tutorial I made a while back. It also lists links to all the songs I have uploaded on that website so far.

6 – Learn a Brazilian song with Lyrics Translate.
