🇵🇹 Slow Portuguese With Maria

In this episode, I talk with my student Rory about his Portuguese learning journey. We speak about why he decided to learn Portuguese, his goals with the language, his favorite Portuguese food, and much more.
This conversation is also a good reminder that learning a language can be difficult sometimes, but communication is still possible even when we are not perfect. You do not need to speak perfectly to have real conversations and connect with people.
