How Do I Improve My Pronunciation Skills?

Many new members contact us to say that they have trouble with the tricky pronunciation of European Portuguese, especially if they come from a background of learning Brazilian Portuguese.

We include thousands of audio and video examples throughout our content, as well as the opportunity to record and analyze your pronunciation (as you work through the Units) using our speaking practice tool.

Our Shorties, Podcasts, and Videos provide excellent listening practice in a more realistic context. You can explore the sounds of the language in connected speech and get familiar with the patterns over time. Our Learning Notes also provide more a explicit / in-depth look at pronunciation tips and topics.

And, of course, put your skills to the test in real-life conversations! You don't need to have perfect pronunciation to start communicating. To gain more confidence, start by talking to yourself at home and replaying/repeating our audio content as much as you'd like.
