Welcome to the very first episode of this podcast! In this episode, I’ll introduce myself and give you a bit of background about who I am, where I live, and my age. I’ll also share what this podcast is all about and who it’s for. Whether you’re a beginner learning European Portuguese or just curious about life and culture in Portugal, this podcast is for you.

I’ll be talking about various topics such as:

• Portuguese culture and daily life in Portugal.


• Answering your questions (feel free to send them my way!).


• What it’s like to live as an immigrant.


• Portuguese food, art, and books.


• Plus, I’ll give you plenty of grammar and pronunciation tips!

As a language learner myself, I know the challenges. Podcasts with slow Swedish helped me a lot when I was learning, and I hope this podcast can do the same for you as you learn Portuguese.

I also bring my experience as a teacher—where I’ve seen firsthand the difficulties my students face—and I’m here to help you overcome those hurdles. If you're interested in taking lessons with me, you can book a session through my website https://portuguesewithmaria.carrd.co
