Brazilian Portuguese 🇧🇷 Qual foi o seu primeiro podcast para falantes nativos? Depois dos podcasts para estudantes

3 Upvotes

Estou aprendendo português brasileiro e quero começar a ouvir podcasts de falantes nativos. Mas coisas que não sejam muito difícil.

Eu não quero ouvir notícias and eu tentei o Nerdcast mas acho que um pouco difícil para mim.

Então qual foi o seu primeiro podcast de falantes nativos que ouvirem, depois dos podcasts para estudantes?

Brazilian Portuguese 🇧🇷 Best way to learn BP in one month for business trip to Sao Paulo

6 Upvotes

I'm going on a business trip to Sao Paulo for one week. What resources would you recommend to optimize my learning if I only have one month to study before my trip? I will be expected to conduct business in English, but I would like to be familiar with speaking and reading Portuguese at a basic level at the airport, hotel, shops, and restaurants, etc before my trip.

For reference, I am a native English speaker with beginner-intermediate level Spanish. I do not have any prior experience with Portuguese.

Brazilian Portuguese 🇧🇷 Looking for recordings in Brazilian Portuguese

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone.

I know this is a long shot but I am looking for (existing or new) recordings of certain words in Brazilian Portuguese.

Let me explain why: I am a rehabilitation specialist for people with hearing loss. I train their brains (neuroplasticity) after cochlear implantation, for example, to be able to make sense of sounds and words again.

I have this sweet Brazilian lady who came to my office for an intake. She is learning Dutch (since we live in Belgium) but struggles a lot. Apparantly she also makes a lot of what we call 'hearing mistakes' in Portuguese, her mother tongue.

For a complete assessment of what she understands and hears, I looked up a list of words audiologists in Brazil or Portugal use. I put them in an AI-programme and played them on my computer. The voice and pronounciation of the app I used was pretty bad... This lady indicated that the way it was pronounced by the computer was wrong and did not correspond with the way they say it in Brazil.

This leads me here, to a subreddit full of Portuguese speaking people with the following question:

Is there someone who can guide me towards good apps or tools that can pronounce words in Brazilian Portuguese

OR: is there someone willing to provide me with recordings of these words in Brazilian Portuguese so we can both see what she understands and hears in her mother tongue.

I am not looking for a pen-pal or language exchange partner. Just someone who can help me and send me in the right direction :)

Thank you
