CC Classics

25 of our best episodes, hand-picked from 10 years of the show. Every episode comes with a full worksheet: vocabulary, grammar notes, cultural context, and a transcript. These are the episodes we'd hand to someone on day one, and the ones longtime listeners keep coming back to.

Brazilian Music Playbook

Music is one of the best ways to train your ear for Portuguese. This playbook pulls together our music episodes (samba, bossa nova, MPB, funk carioca) so you can absorb the rhythm and sounds of the language the way Brazilians actually use it.

πŸ—£οΈ
Pronunciation Playbook

If you've ever been understood but known you sounded foreign, this is the playbook for you. It covers the sounds, rhythms, and patterns that native speakers notice most: the ones that, once you hear them, you can't unhear.

πŸ–οΈ
Rio Playbook

Carioca Connection started in Rio. This playbook gathers the stories, culture, and conversations from our Rio episodes: the slang, the neighborhoods, the references that show up constantly in Brazilian music, TV, and everyday speech.

Our story

Ten years of Carioca Connection.

We released our first episode on May 3rd, 2016. We had no idea what we were doing. We just wanted to help people learn Portuguese the way Brazilians actually speak it, through real conversation, real culture, and a lot of laughter.

Ten years, 400+ episodes, 500,000+ downloads, and listeners in 140+ countries later, we're still here. Still doing it. To celebrate, we're relaunching with something we're proud of.

We can't wait to show you.
