What it actually is

The video arm of a Portuguese daily whose podcasts are already on this site. Pieces are short and topical, which makes them a good way to pick up the words actually being used in Portugal this week rather than textbook vocabulary. Speech is fast and unadapted; the on-screen text and headlines give you something to anchor to.
