What else helps you learn Portuguese besides your classes?

[Cris Brazil Ahead]

Some students like to listen to Brazilian music and practice by repeating the words. How about YOU? What else helps you learn this wonderful language?

[Tcheilly]

A real life experience is a another great tool to make you think and apply the new language skills you are learning. A simple "phone call" or "meeting at the coffee shop" experience outside the classroom can demonstrate how that particular language works.

Para mim ajuda muito escrever pequenas coisas. Por exemplo, escrever na agenda o que vou fazer ou tal vez uma pequena nota, todo em portugues.

On the music note, I have a recommendation for an online radio station that plays MPB 24/7. www.novabrasilfm.com.br you have to sign up but it is a free streaming service. ENJOY! Abracos.

I think listening to substitled music helps a lot! trying to speak the language without hesitation! have that sense of making mistakes 'cause that last will help correct one's mistakes. movies, it's better to be "substituled"!

[Robert S.sikorski]

I watch the TV station 'O Globo', and this helps me develop an ear for the sound of the language.

Going to Brasil a lot helps!! As does eating in brasilian restaurants, having brasilian friends, watching and listening to tv stations and/or web shows.
