A Arte de Oferecer Presentes
Estamos de volta! Returning to the roots of where this all started back in 2013, Rui and Joel are reviving our flagship Podcast!
Although we’re releasing video episodes, we’ll also keep our audio-only listeners in mind, so you can subscribe to our podcast feed in your favourite app and listen while on-the-go.
In this episode, we dive into the art of gift-giving – all in European Portuguese, claro!
We also discuss our favourite gifts to receive, and strategies for offering them to others.
Thanks for being with us, and for encouraging us to return to this Podcast format. We’ve missed you too! -
Perguntas Pessoais
We didn’t know what to talk about, so Practice Portuguese team member, Molly, gave us a list of questions to answer! Topics include: pet peeves, where else in the world we’d live, binge-watching habits, favourite cuisine, biggest fears and much more! We also reveal some behind-the-scenes news of what the Practice Portuguese team has been up to these past few months.

The Verb “Dar” And Its Many Meanings
Did you know the verb “dar” has at least 60 different meanings in Portuguese? The simplest translation is “to give”, but it also has many idiomatic meanings, which depend on the context. Today, Joel and Rui take a deep dive into “dar”, with some help from one of our Shorty episodes: Dar Uma Mãozinha. Joel also shows off his own study routine for vocabulary building, using Practice Portuguese’s latest “Smart Review” enhancements.

• Appearances from Clara and Avó Odete
Customer Reviews
Enjoyable podcasts
Rui and Joel speak very clearly, and the podcasts offer a range of levels and interesting subjects. Several of their podcasts are about day to day situations in Portugal and are very helpful. It is also helpful to have a non native Portuguese speaker who understands the struggles with some pronunciation and grammar rules.
Love this
Love the energy and how the content is put together and delivered. Good job!
Fun and helpful
Listening to people speak both slowly and then at a normal pace is very helpful. I’d recommend these podcasts to anyone wanting to learn European Portuguese.
