Portuguese you'll actually fucking remember.

Lisbon Portuguese, swallowed vowels and all — eighteen courses of it. Eighteen courses, two hundred and sixteen lessons, stories you listen to at real speed, and a tutor from Lisbon Portuguese who corrects you as you talk.

Bars and banter

Bars and banter

Imperiais, petiscos and the small talk that comes with them.

Complaining, standing your ground, then climbing down.

Palavrões, properly

Palavrões, properly

Lisbon swearing, explained honestly instead of hidden.

HOW RUDE DO YOU WANT IT?

  • CLEAN — Nothing your nan would mind. Useful, polite, safe for work.
  • CHEEKY — Mild rudeness, sarcasm, the odd insult between friends.
  • REAL PORTUGUESE — How Portuguese is actually spoken between people who like each other.
  • NO FUCKING FILTER — Everything, explained honestly, including what you should never say.
