From Selling Up in the UK to Speaking Up in Portuguese! Gerry’s Portuguese Pro Journey

Recently, Gerry did what many of us do on a regular day: went for a swim, took an Uber, did some shopping, visited a café and even popped into the hairdresser. Nothing wild, right? Except this time, almost every interaction she had was in Portuguese – not English. And she didn’t even realise it until she got home. That meant… ❌ No translating in her head. ❌ No panicking when someone spoke too fast. ❌ No switching to English out of frustration. Her Portuguese just kicked in. Naturally. Yes, she still misses a word here and there (who wouldn’t?), but what matters most? She was understood when she spoke — and more importantly, she understood others too. This is what it looks like when language stops being a frustrating barrier and instead becomes the bridge to your best life in Portugal. I know that a friction-free life in Portugal is what many of you are looking for, so watch this interview with Gerry where we dig into how she reached this level of confidence in her conversation skills.
