Get the Most Out of Your Drills

  1. Listen without captions
    Start by turning off the rolling captions. If it feels too challenging, skim the English translation first, then listen again. Mimic the speaker’s sounds, rhythm, and intonation to practice pronunciation—paying close attention to how your lips, jaw, and tongue move.
  2. Listen with captions
    Turn the captions back on to fill in any gaps in understanding. Try to guess new words from context before looking them up. For idiomatic expressions, refer to the English translation. You can also read the transcript on its own.
  3. Let Alfredo quiz you
    Alfredo knows each Drill inside out. Let him test your comprehension and reinforce what you’ve learned. He provides instant feedback and translations when needed—all in a clean, intuitive interface.

You don’t have to follow these steps exactly, but they’re a great way to get more from your practice.

Improve Your Natural Feel for Portuguese

Dips are short-format videos focused on idiomatic expressions and language nuances that aren’t always easy for non-native speakers to grasp. 

I’ll explain the expressions entirely in Portuguese, providing usage examples to help you understand them in context. Each Dip is subtitled in Portuguese and wraps up with a quick summary.

You can even count on Alfredo 🤖, who ensures every expression clicks and stays with you. ✨ All in a clean, intuitive interface.

New Dips are released weekly, and there’s already a great selection waiting for you. So, ready to dive in? Start exploring Dips today and give your Portuguese a natural boost!
