How to Learn Portuguese Pt. 1 News

How to Learn Portuguese?

When I was beginning to learn Portuguese I found it difficult to find fun resources. However there are great materials on the internet. I'm going to share a few that took me years to find.

News

Deutsche Welle

A great source for articles from all over the World with a focus on Portuguese speaking nations.

Definitely listen to their Podcast which appears twice daily. The reporters are from many different Luso (Portuguese speaking) countries. This audio program gives you the chance to improve your comprehension of different accents, as well as vocabulary about current events.

Exame is a Brazilian magazine that focuses on Business, Economics, and Marketing. Each week they choose a few articles to be recorded in podcast format. You can search their audio archives and find all recorded articles. You can google the title of the article and read along with a native speaker. The articles are interesting, well written and fun. Improves your pronunciation, vocabulary, comprehension.

BBC Brasil has a great website with videos, radio shows and articles about a variety of topics.

other magazines and newspapers:

Epoca
Veja
Folha de Sao Paulo


Plenty to get you started!
