Best resource to learn Portuguese for Spanish speakers!!

This podcast changed everything for me! I had spoken Spanish for 15 years, and had studied Portuguese for 3 years before finding this podcast. This podcast was what helped me finally separate the two languages in my head. I loved this series so much that I listened to every episode at least 3 times. Orlando is a great person and I love the concept and the group he put together. Such a fun linguistic and cultural idea!
So helpful

I moved to Brazil this year, and this podcast has been so helpful. I speak Spanish pretty fluently, so everyone told me Portuguese would be easy to pick up... Wrong. I could read it quickly but was getting frustrated with how little I could understand or communicate when it came to spoken Portuguese. Thankfully, I found a link to this podcast on a blog. It’s been incredibly helpful in pointing out differences between Spanish, Portuguese, and English and focusing on key sounds in Portuguese. The lessons are only 10 min, so it’s easy to listen to listen when you have a few minutes of free time. From a UT alum in Brazil - obrigada!
Outstanding

As a fluent Spanish speaker and beginner Portuguese learner, this podcast was absolutely perfect. It's so well-made though that I think you would benefit even if you had no knowledge of Spanish. The episodes provide a super-useful, entertaining guide to grammar and pronunciation. Orlando's enthusiasm for grammar is contagious, and there are lots of humorous moments that made me chuckle! Also, I loved Valdo's voice and could listen to him speak Portuguese all day! I always listened with the PDF open as a reference; it was really helpful to be able to read along with the dialogue and also to study the additional cultural and grammar notes. I'm grateful to the UT team for providing such a high-quality free resource.
Great podcast!
