Do you remember the moment you fell in love with languages? Do you desire to learn or advance in Portuguese quickly and effectively? Then you need a Portuguese tutor. A common question that first-time language-learners ask is "Where do I begin?" The answer? Guidance. For native English-speakers who want to learn Asian languages, for example, timelines provided by the U.S. Foreign Service Institute can appear discouraging. However, defeating these odds is not unheard of. If you want to beat the odds yourself, one of the best learning options is a subscription to Premium PLUS from Innovative Language.

Hello Listeners, There’s a brand new feature out! But first, here’s a question... How long have you been actively studying Portuguese? Why do we ask? Well, Einstein once said... "It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.” While most people quit, the smarter ones (or the stubborn ones) stick with Portuguese long enough to break through and see progress. And if you think about it, time and effort are the two things that’ll ultimately dictate how far your Portuguese will go. Look at it like this... Anyone with bigger muscles – they’ve spent more time at the gym than most. Anyone that’s a great artist – they’ve spent more time on their craft. Anyone that knows a ton of Portuguese words –...
