✨ Pronunciation 101 (Where most members start)

14 lessons on how European Portuguese actually sounds — not in theory, but in real life.

You'll build a proper decoding system so your brain stops guessing every time someone opens their mouth. You'll learn why words sound nothing like they're written, and how to finally trust what you're hearing.

This is the foundation. Everything else gets easier once this clicks.

🎧 Portuguese Foundations

You're exposed to real European Portuguese — slowly and intentionally — until the sounds stop feeling foreign and start feeling familiar.

Grammar is in here. But not the way you've seen it before.

No tables. No conjugation drills you'll forget by tomorrow.

Instead: simple frameworks, real-life examples, and patterns that repeat — so your brain actually locks them in.

👥 The Community

You're not doing this alone.

Inside, you'll find other people on the same journey — people who chose Portugal, who understand exactly what it feels like to be competent in every other part of their life and completely lost in a café.

A place to ask questions, share progress, and stop feeling like the only one.

☕ Weekly Live Sessions with Catarina

Every week, we meet.

These aren't recorded lectures. They're real, live conversations — Q&As, listening practice, pronunciation sessions, cultural deep-dives. Whatever the community needs that week.

This is where the classroom meets real life.

Casa Portuguesa is a fantastic centre for the lesson plans and community that Catarina is building. I love the different spaces and the structure it gives, whilst also keeping so much room for flexibility, discussions on weird grammar rules or practicing exercises in a way that's personal to you, not generalised

Geralyn Abiner

I am finding the format of the Foundations very helpful and clear. The way you build the understanding of the structure of Portuguese makes a lot of sense.

Debi Curtis

I have tried several different ways to learn Portuguese and I was never successful. As an older person who only knows the English language, I didn't know if I had the ability to learn a new language. Your online course has shown me I can do this. I am making progress and I thank you for that and your guidance through the world of Portuguese.
