Carla and Marlon Sabala launch Series 2 of their Portuguese podcast, now with a new visual format and video scenes. This episode presents an "interview gone wrong" skit, followed by detailed explanations of Portuguese idioms and pronunciation nuances. They also announce "The Journey," a new membership program offering extended lessons, exercises, community access, and a pilot program with exclusive pricing.
We finish this series of Podcasts with a European Portuguese Lesson based on a song by António Zambujo. It's full of colloquialism and little snippets you can use on day-to-day conversations. So, get ready to sing along. Esperemos que tenham gostado dos podcasts até agora! More content will be coming very soon. Stay tuned! Obrigado pelo vosso apoio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeMgYBcPMGI Lyrics [zoomsounds_player source="https://portuguesewithcarla.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/pwc50-dialo...
