Why should you watch out about Cinderella Portuguese and focus on Real Portuguese?
Well, chances are, you will be introduced to Cinderella Portuguese first, without ever being told there is another more raw version of the spoken language.
I call “Cinderella Portuguese” the very well-enunciated form of spoken Portuguese. This may be perfect for the first couple of months of your learning journey, but it is not real Portuguese. You may get so used to this perfect speech that you will feel like another completely different language is spoken in Portugal, outside the traditional classroom and the news on TV. Even the radio is somewhat dangerous because audio quality is too "perfect". In real life, you will be exposed to background noise while trying to decipher what a person is telling you.
Before you get too comfy with a version of the language which is very, very rare, put all your focus on understanding the patterns of how the Portuguese speak.
Yes, there are patterns!!
This guide walks you through the main patterns of spoken European Portuguese, alongside audio.
Once you you're aware of those patterns, it makes sense to expose yourself to a lot of naturally spoken language to see those in action. My
Mini-Tuga helps you with that!
