About This Course

Learn Portuguese from the beginning. Learn Brazilian Portuguese language with animated videos & exercises.

We teach Brazilian Portuguese through short, colorful and fun videos. Our course does NOT rely on translation. You will be immersed in the Portuguese language when you watch our videos which present everyday situations. Some tell small stories with a beginning and an end and others focus on answering common questions most students have.

Each Portuguese lesson uses only vocabulary you've learned in earlier lessons, and adds to it. (For that reason, it is important to follow the exact order of the videos.)

Our Brazilian Portuguese course is taught by a native Brazilian who is also a very experienced teacher. This is extremely important, since many language courses are taught by non-native speakers, which reduces the effectiveness of your learning. Why run the risk of picking up someone else's foreign accent?

Portuguese Today has spared no expense in the creation of our lessons and courses. We deliver professional quality content. Our video lessons were crafted by highly trained professionals. See for yourself the difference that it makes!

Most language courses use translation. We from Portuguese Today, DON'T! This is what distinguishes us from other courses. Otherwise you could learn Portuguese reading a dictionary!   

Have you ever imagined what it would be like to learn Portuguese quickly, easily, and without all the complicated grammar rules? And without having to translate everything you learn? Learn Portuguese...by speaking Portuguese!

So stop imagining and start learning! In the course "Brazilian Portuguese for Beginners", you learn exactly in this way, through the Direct Method, the method by which living languages are taught. The way you learned your native language! Learning without translation: through examples, images, listening and speaking. It is the ideal method for anyone who needs to learn the Portuguese language quickly and effectively.

At the end of each module you will be able to test and practice what you have learned!

The course is good, but the videos sometimes too fast, and the platform’s start and stop button has a very small activation spot.

Thr course is ok, gives a lot of information in a comprehensive format.

however, some videos seem to be missing. At the end of module 2 the summary said 'Congrats! You have learned how to spell your name, the alphabet, how to order food, prepositions (behind, in front)'. Although those videos are not in the course.

Not practical and didn't explain to the details. For example when to use O as a 'the' or a as a 'the'. Also the chapter for Colours name, why are there two pronounciations for the same colour, and when to use them?

I speak Spanish so it makes it easier. No way an English speaker can keep up with the speed.

I am enjoying repeating the words, but sometimes the presenter goes too fast so there is no time to repeat after them.
