👋 "Olá e bem-vindos a mais um episódio de Learn Portuguese with Sara! Hi everyone, and welcome back to another episode of Learn Portuguese with Sara.
Today I don't have a regular episode for you — I have something a little different. I would like to tell you what's been going on and what's coming next.
Some of you may have noticed I haven't posted new episodes in a little while. The reason behind ir is that I'm actually having a baby, this July! — Yes, very soon! I know! — so things have been a little slower than usual. But I havent stopped working, and I've been using some of my free time to build something I'm really excited about.
Estão prontos? Are you ready?
So! I'm creating a full audiobook — called Survive in Portugal — specifically designed for people who are moving to Portugal and need real, practical European Portuguese from day one. It is actual a practical, real life scenario, phrasebook, not a portuguese textbook or grammar book.It's Real Life European Portuguese. The kind you actually need when you're standing at a Finanças office trying to get your NIF, or talking to your landlord, or ordering a bica at your local café without feeling lost.
It's going to be a proper audio experience — bilingual, English and Portuguese — with 8 chapters covering the real situations you face every single day. And it comes with a PDF companion so you can read along as you listen.
After years of teaching Portuguese, I know exactly where people struggle. And it's never the grammar. It's the real life stuff — the pharmacy, the bureaucracy, the neighbours, the moments where you freeze and wish someone had just prepared you.This phrasebook is that preparation.
It's not ready yet — I'm building it carefully, and honestly, I'm also growing a little human — so bear with me. But if this sounds like something you need, or something you'd give to a friend who's moving to Portugal — stay tuned. Follow the podcast so you don't miss the launch announcement. Dont worry i will continue launching more episodes just at a slower pace!
