The more exposure to Portuguese you get the better. Listening to podcasts is a great way to improve not only your listening comprehension but also your overall language skills in Portuguese.

In this blog post, I will show you a few Portuguese podcasts. For your convenience, I divided the podcasts into 3 groups according to different levels of language proficiency. Let’s go.

The episodes are short and in plain Portuguese. They often focus on Portuguese grammar and idioms widely used in everyday life.

Portuguese podcasts for intermediate-level students

The podcasts in this group are less than 10 minutes long, and each episode will focus on a concrete topic. 

Given their short duration and topic delimitation, these podcasts are suitable for intermediate-level learners.

Keep in mind nonetheless that these podcasts are not designed for language learners. Thus, it wouldn’t surprise me if you find it tough to follow along. Don’t get caught up in details and try instead to get the gist of it.
