Portuguese Tune

What it actually is

A small Portuguese channel built on comprehensible input: story-time retellings of the Grimm brothers, a walk through the vipers of Portugal, making coffee outdoors, all at a pace a B1 learner can follow. Most videos are Portuguese from start to finish, but some — the nature series in particular — set the topic up in English first, which is why it is filed as explained-in-English rather than Portuguese-only. Free, roughly monthly, and under 2,000 subscribers, so expect a personal rather than a polished production.
