This is an episode of introductions! First, we introduce Molly, an American who recently moved to Lisbon and is off to a great start with her Portuguese.

Next, we introduce the new “Shorties”, which are bite-sized audio dialogues, each around 1 minute in length.

We listen to a segment from one of our Shorty contributors, Marina, and discuss some of her Porto pronunciation characteristics, compared to the Lisbon accent.

Rui also puts Molly and Joel on the spot to help with their Portuguese pronunciation, hopefully allowing you, our lovely listener, to recognize and improve upon common mistakes that you might also be making as an English speaker.

What did you think of Molly’s premiere? Please help us encourage her to bravely return for more episodes, by leaving her a comment!
