I am learning Portuguese : 300 essential words and phrases, 140 common expressions, the 100 most common verbs, the 1000 essential Portuguese words. With approximately 220 million native speakers and 260 million total speakers, Portuguese is usually listed as the sixth most natively spoken language in the world. How to learn a language differently ? Today, language learning is revolutionizing : you do not have to go to traditional language classes anymore. Our learning method : a selection of hundreds of phrases and essential words. You listen to them, you repeat them, and you speak. We rely on pronunciation, oral rehearsal, listening, combined with words, essential phrases, and a vocabulary list. 20% of the words are used 80% of the time.
