European Portuguese Shorties (from PracticePortuguese.com)

I like the short vignettes. I find that it’s hard for me to concentrate with longer shows in Portuguese, but since these episodes are so short, I can give them the full attention that language learning deserves. It also helps that they are in European Portuguese, since resources in European Portuguese are much scarcer than those for Brazilian Portuguese.

The buzzer is soooo funny!!

I’ve tried so many different websites to learn Portuguese and these guys are BY FAR the best. It’s a huge help to have a source for European Portuguese audio, since so many resources are in Brazilian Portuguese. The Shorties are the perfect length to be challenging without feeling overwhelming. I play them over and over when I’m on the go to try to understand as much as I can, then later go through the transcripts on their website to fill in the gaps. I especially like the dialogues because they let you hear how Portuguese is spoken in real-life and include a ton of useful phrases. Plus, new episodes are added constantly, so I don't get bored.

These shorties are perfect for beginners to start hearing and comprehending portuguese! They are perfect if you are “short” on time and want to sneak a little practice in during the day. I use these when I am driving some where or just want a quick practice session. The speakers are also different so you get different accents and hear different people speaking so it expands your comprehension even more!
