Sorry, What?

This might sound like you...

 

 

You have been studying Portuguese for months and somehow can’t seem to understand anything natives say.

This happens because you never fixed the gap between the sound of Portuguese and the writing of it.

Natives know that we don’t speak the way we write. That’s not on you. Somehow someone forgot to tell you about it when you started learning. People don’t talk about this enough.

 

I'M LISTENING...

I'm Catarina

The one behind Bougie Portuguese

 

I teach European Portuguese, and as a language learner myself, I’ve learned one thing: you have to learn to read and listen at the same time.

Skip that, and it costs you later.

That’s why I am making  "Sorry what? Fix your listening & pronunciation".

Whether you’re at the beginning or the middle, it shortens the gap between what you read and what you hear. 

It’s the same method I used to learn Italian, Korean, Hindi, French and Japanese.

  • A Portuguese listening and pronunciation guide
  • How to adapt the guide to you
  • Accents and stress
  • Nasal sounds
  • Half consonants and the role of vowels
  • Why the “e” is silent most of the time
  • Ear-tuning exercises to find your gaps
  • Reading rules and word threading (when three words sound like one)
  • The most common shortened and swallowed words
