Learning a new language comes with all the emotions — so why not learn to name them? 😊😢

Feliz = happy
Triste = sad
One word, one step at a time.

It feels silly — but it works. The more you say it, the more natural it gets!

Want to sound more natural in Portuguese? Learn phrases, not just words!
It’s called chunking, and it helps you speak more smoothly—with fewer awkward pauses 💬✨
Just be sure to get the pronunciation right early on… relearning is no fun 😅

Consistency beats cramming every time. Think of language like a muscle — the more you use it, the stronger it gets.
Whether it’s 5 minutes reviewing flashcards, reading a kids' book together, or singing along to a favorite song — it adds up.

If you’re waiting for the perfect moment when you feel 100% confident in your Portuguese… you might be waiting forever.
Give yourself permission to be a beginner. Be proud of the effort, not perfection. Learning a new language is brave — and it’s OK to stumble along the way.

When we learn a new language, we’re not just memorizing vocabulary — we’re tracing the footsteps of history, understanding the stories that shaped a people, and tuning into the ways that culture is shifting right now.

Learning a new language doesn’t have to be overwhelming. One of the best ways to start? Children’s books.
They’re built for repetition, rhythm, and simple vocabulary—which makes them perfect for beginners of any age.
