How I Learned Brazilian Portuguese in a Week

In November of 2016, Adrian (my teacher from the Spanish in a Month documentary, and now my best friend and business partner) and I went to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to test out some new language learning strategies.

Portuguese was the test piece, and a week was the timeline.

Of course, we shot a documentary about it. And after over a year of delay, that documentary is now LIVE:

We succeeded – meaning, got to a conversational level – and this documentary shows that process and explains the two techniques, that when paired with what I talked about in the first documentary, really super-power things.

I’ll write more about the techniques eventually on the BaseLang blog, but for now – watch the documentary. It’s the best explanation.
