The best YouTube channels for learning English in Portuguese

Carina Fragozo holds a PhD in linguistics from USP and has taught English for 20 years; about 2.2 million subscribers. Recent work includes a Slow English podcast for beginners and easy-to-follow conversation vlogs from London, framed and explained in Portuguese. Taught for Portuguese (Brazilian) speakers.

About 1.6 million subscribers, weekly videos in 2026: shadowing practice with film scenes, complete slow-English stories, level tests and the words that do not mean what Brazilians expect. Clear explanations in Portuguese with plenty of listening in English.

Kenny is a native English speaker from Canada who has taught Brazilians for years and explains in Portuguese; about 2.6 million subscribers. Lessons cover silent letters, everyday vocabulary and the uses of common verbs. Uploads have slowed to about one a month in 2026; the back catalogue is the value.

About 3.5 million subscribers and over 1,200 videos, each unpacking one word or expression (render, solely, snap) with examples, explained in Portuguese. He has posted almost nothing new since March 2025, so treat it as a searchable library: look up the word you are stuck on.
