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.If you would like to improve your Portuguese with me, you can also book a lesson at slowportuguesewithmaria.com.I hope you enjoy this conversation!
