Sign up for my FREE Brazilian Portuguese Pronunciation Minicourse 👉 https://www.speakingbrazilian.com/pronunciation-course/ I’m starting my doctorate this week, and I’d love to share this new journey with you. I recorded a video to share the news and explain why I decided to pursue a doctorate. Although today’s topic isn’t the Portuguese language, the video is entirely in Portuguese, so it’s great for listening practice! Also, if you’re curious to learn more about my experience as a master’s student and now a doctoral student in applied linguistics, I think you’ll enjoy this video.
