Bet it's better in a Story.
Learn Portuguese with Stories
I'm sorry but I won't be renewing my Semantica subscription. Not because I'm unhappy, but because you succeeded - I am now fluent in Portuguese! While I am waiting for covid to die down so that I can return to Brasil, I'm getting my daily dose of Portuguese talking on WhatsApp with my Brazilian friends.

Forget books.
Forget online trash programs.
Forget it all.
Remember this:
We’re all hardwired to find stories more memorable -more engaging- than factual statements. That’s because storytelling engages more parts of our brains than abstract language does. Whether it’s Star Wars or a Hemingway novel, the best stories tap into this evolutionary trait by emphasizing relatability, novelty, tension, and fluency.
Neuroscientists have a saying that “Neurons that fire together, wire together.” What they mean is that when multiple parts of the brain are working together, we’re much more likely to remember due to that cognitive work.
When we hear stories our brains light up. Suddenly, we’re processing emotions and images, imagining sensations, and using the part of the brain that’s responsible for cognitive planning.
This torrent of neurons makes the lesson “sticky.”
...we're not against teachers and books,
...1 pronunciation 1st; minimize translation; use modern methods for memorizing vocab and BUILD IT.
