What it actually is

The most reliable Brazilian Portuguese teaching channel: pronunciation, grammar, verb conjugation and culture, taught slowly in Portuguese with English support, and still uploading several times a week to over 330K subscribers. Free on YouTube; the paid side is a school with levelled digital courses, group classes and private lessons. A good default first stop for Brazilian Portuguese, and it pairs well with a conversation podcast once you can follow one.
