What it is

Short, frequent episodes in which the linguist Marco Neves explains the origin of words in the news, unpicks regionalisms, kills off grammar myths and answers listeners’ questions. It is the rare native show whose subject matter is the language you are learning, so the vocabulary keeps paying off. Delivered at full native speed with no transcripts — comfortable around B1 if you already know the topic, harder if you do not.

Episodes are played straight from the publisher's feed — nothing is hosted here, and the five newest are whatever the feed served when this page was last built. All Portuguese podcasts →
