WHAT YOU GET
A new episode every morning. Two real stories from the day's news, in everyday Portuguese at a pace you can follow.
Every episode has its own page with the full Portuguese transcript, the English translation beside it, the day's vocabulary, one grammar point and a short quiz. No account needed to read.
WHY NEWS WORKS BETTER THAN EXERCISES
You already know what happened today. That means your attention goes to the Portuguese instead of to the story, which is the fastest route from textbook Portuguese to Portuguese you actually meet.
WHO A2 IS FOR
You know the basics and you want to stop translating in your head. This is slow Portuguese listening practice built on real news rather than scripted conversation. If it feels fast, the same stories run at A1 the same morning. If it feels easy, go to B1+.
NOT SURE THIS IS YOUR LEVEL?
About twenty short questions place you on the CEFR scale and show you what to work on next:
