If you're struggling to make progress with European Portuguese, it's probably not you - it's the way you've been trying to learn. I learned Portuguese the traditional way: university, textbooks, grammar drills. Then I moved to Portugal and realized how much of that was completely unnecessary. That was 15 years ago. Since then, I've spent six years teaching thousands of English speakers the approach that actually works. This video covers the three mistakes keeping most learners stuck (apps, grammar-first, scattered free resources) and what I'd do instead if I was starting from absolute zero today. The short version: train your ear and mouth before filling your head with vocabulary. Learn phrases you'll actually use. Keep grammar light and learn it through real sentences. Do this consistently and you'll be further ahead in three months than most people get in a year. – Filmed in Lisbon, Portugal by Liz Sharma, a Portuguese teacher and founder of Talk the Streets.
