Like some help with your Portuguese? Or perhaps, as a native lusófono, you'd like to share your language with others.

MISSION: to help learners of all levels achieve proficiency in português, either português do Brasil ou português de Portugal. METHODOLOGY: based on learning through authentic speech, eg, conversations with other members, songs, ads, stories, games, etc. FOCUS: communication. We practice listening, pronunciation, reading comprehension, and speaking skills. PARTICIPATION is essential. Use an active email address, only one which you plan to use. To join, reply promptly according to the written instructions in the automatic email message.

Whether you're Goan or Samoan; Bajun or Cajun; sueco ou checo; espanhol ou mongol; cearense, maranhense, madeirense, timorense ou macaense; americano, canadiano, jamaicano, australiano, angolano, moçambicano, açoriano, baiano ou cabo-verdiano; inglês, português, galês ou até francês, join us and practice PORTUGUESE in the comfort of your own home.

ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS IN PORTUGUESE: WELCOME! You can write in either Portuguese or English, so don't be afraid. Have a moderator walk you through the learning process. Eventually, work your way up to conversing fluently with a native speaker!

If you are able to write in Portuguese, please do. If not, write in English. We strongly discourage the use of online translators.

Management is insured by several moderators, who proofread for erros. Diligent learners wishing to learn from their erros will read back over their mensagens after they've been posted to see how they've been put into proper português. (As our focus is communication, at times moderators will insert phrases in order to facilitate and stimulate conversation among members.)
