This podcast is to show you the basic words used when you introduce yourself on the very first day of your class.

Paying attention to the expressions "Prazer em conhecê-lo" and " muito obrigada". This is to show you that when you talk to a male person you say "conhecê-lo". If it was to a female you would say "Prazer em conhecê-la".


Lucy Mary Johnson has been helping students find their voice in Portuguese for years, and now she brings that same patient, practical guidance to her audio lessons. Tuning into Brazilian Portuguese Language-Teacher Mary feels less like a formal class and more like a helpful conversation with a friend who happens to be an expert. Each episode is built around real-life situations-ordering food in a *lanchonete*, making plans with friends, or understanding the lyrics of a popular samba song. You’ll hear the natural rhythm and melody of the language as Mary breaks down colloquial phrases, explains tricky grammar without the jargon, and offers cultural notes that give the words context. This podcast is designed for those who want to move beyond textbook Portuguese and into the vibrant, living language spoken in Brazil’s cities and towns. Progress comes through consistent, manageable exposure, and Mary’s calm, clear explanations make it easy to fit learning into a daily routine. Whether you're preparing for a trip, connecting with heritage, or just love the sound of Portuguese, these episodes provide a structured yet relaxed path forward. The focus is always on comprehension and confident speaking, turning the often daunting process of language acquisition into something genuinely enjoyable and achievable.
