Perfeito
Gosto muito de este podcast! E perfeito para mim. Faz como 20 anos quando eu morei em Rio e sente que esqueci tudo de meu português. E muito fácil a escuta e lembra muitas palavras que não lembrei. Vou escutar a todos os episodes. Obrigado!
Great Content But Where are the New episodes?
I started to like listening but noticed the episodes haven’t been available since May?! It sinuses to find a podcast where content is available semi reliably. I hope this show returns.
Amazing podcast!
What a great resource for Brazilian Portuguese learners!
