Carioca Connection Season 5 WorksheetsWhat our students are saying
WE DON’T LIKE TO TALK ABOUT OURSELVES, BUT WE DON’T MIND IF OTHER PEOPLE DO <3
I’ve been listening to these two for a while now and honestly they are the soundtrack to my café da manhãs everyday! A great way to expand your vocabulary and improve your accent! So much fun, very natural flow, and a great diversity of topics!

Canada, Apple PodcastsAs an English speaker I benefit from listening to both Foster and Alexia speak. Foster’s accent is easier for me, but the goal is to be able to understand native speakers, so I love being able to experience both in one short episode. I read the transcript and listen to one episode a day. I love picking up on the colloquialisms so when I go back to Brazil I will be able to speak and interact naturally with people.

USA, Apple PodcastsI’m just starting out in Portuguese but I prefer learning by listening to conversations and not with grammar, vocab sheets, lessons etc. Great to just stick some conversations in my ears and become surrounded in this fascinating language and accent! Love it, keep up the great work!

A note from Foster and Alexia
Olá pessoal!
Since the beginning of Carioca Connection in 2016 (5 years ago!), we’ve tried to keep things as simple and transparent as possible.
We started with the idea that we could create high quality resources for Brazilian Portuguese learners, and make the process of learning Portuguese more natural and fun at the same time.
Much to our surprise, this idea worked! We’ve recorded almost 200 episodes and helped hundreds of thousands of people around the world improve their Brazilian Portuguese. That’s amazing.
When we started, we decided to sell each episode and the accompanying worksheet for one dollar. We created seasons of 40 episodes, so our students could receive months worth of study material for the small price of $40 dollars.
For a variety of reasons, this model is not a viable option for us to keep Carioca Connection running in the future. Therefore, beginning on May 3rd, 2021 we are going to raise our prices from one dollar per episode and worksheet to two dollars. Instead of receiving 40 episodes and transcripts for 40 dollars, moving forward we will charge $80.
So if you want to take advantage of the opportunity to receive all of our resources at a reduced price, we encourage you to do so before May 3rd!
We appreciate your support and look forward to teaching you more about Brazilian language and culture for many years to come!
Aquele abraço,
Alexia and Foster

Absolute best podcast to learn Portuguese … if you know the basics of the language. This being said, there really aren’t many other apps or podcasts out there that will help you as much as Carioca Connection. It is a pleasure listening to and learn not only the language but also about the culture and history of Brazil. It never gets dull, they always cover interesting topics. Which is kind of important when you as a language learner have to listen to it over and over again 😉 I highly recommend buying the pdfs they offer on their website. If you are like me and have difficulties in the beginning understanding spoken Portuguese, the pdfs will help you tremendously connecting the visual with the spoken word in your brain. Another plus of this podcast is that it is entirely in Portuguese. As I said above, you need to know the basics of the language. But together with the pdfs you don’t “waste” time on listening to the English translation and make your learning time much more efficient. I had a private teacher twice a week for over three years. While this certainly helped me to learn the basics of the language, the effect of this podcast in regards to my listening comprehension is incredible. Sure, you have to be dedicated and listen to the episodes over and over again, but you will notice after a while that you will be able to comprehend Portuguese much better. Thank you Alexia and Foster for putting together such a wonderful und useful podcast.
