Summary

The LingQ language-learning platform is among the most intentionally-created foreign language education products available. Developed by reknowned polyglot linguist Steve Kaufmann and company, LingQ is an excellent way to learn Portuguese using materials you choose yourself!

In fact, this is where LingQ excels as an educational platform because students can import any license-free content they want to base their lessons around. This means that the students decide what subjects and topics they wish to learn about based on professional needs and/or personal interests.

The particular podcast highlighted in this article is PortugueseLingQ, a roughly weekly podcast with mp3 audio content for Portuguese language learners. Transcripts of the podcasts are available through LingQ, and can also serve as learning content themselves.

One additional advantage of the LingQ system is that for a single subscription, you can use their web-based platform to learn ten languages (and growing) including Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish.

What is PortugueseLingQ?

First of all, the name itself (which is pronounced Portuguese Link) needs a little explaining. The first part, “Portuguese”, is fairly obvious since we teach Portuguese. LingQ is the name of our online learning system which you can find at LingQ.com. At LingQ you’ll study many different languages in a fun, community atmosphere. The “Ling” in LingQ comes from TheLinguist.com the people behind LingQ. Lastly, the “Q” is important because it forms the speech bubble in our logo and throughout our site and because it makes “lingq” sound like “link” (we think!) which is what our system does for you.

This is a good podcast for learning Brazilian Portuguese. The host, André Augusto Souto Barbosa, puts together some interesting and pertinent lessons. He is also good at pointing out difference in pronunciation inside of Brazil, as well as some of the difference beftween European Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese.

Even though this is really for people interested in learning Brazilian Portuguese, it will also be useful for those wanting to learn European Portuguese.
