🇵🇹 Slow Portuguese With Maria

Show Notes

Olá! In this episode, I share with you one of the most famous and dramatic love stories in Portuguese history: the story of Pedro and Inês de Castro. This is a tale of love, politics, betrayal, and tragedy that happened in the 14th century and that still shapes Portuguese culture and identity today. I take you back to medieval Portugal to discover how a forbidden romance turned into one of the greatest legends of the country. 📖 Here's the book I recommend - the historical novel Inês de Castro by Isabel Stilwell. You can find it ⁠here on Amazon⁠.

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!
