In this episode, I talk about sports and activities I’ve done throughout my life — from rhythmic gymnastics and tennis to painting and piano — and also the new things I still want to try.
You’ll hear useful vocabulary related to hobbies, sports, and free time, while practicing listening to natural European Portuguese.
This is a great episode if you want to talk about your own experiences, interests, and future goals in Portuguese.

In today’s episode, I’m doing something a little different.
This is my first partnership, and I’m really excited to share it with you 😊 I’ll introduce a vocabulary learning app I’ve recently started using, and that has been helping me keep track of new words — especially now that I’m learning Swedish.
The episode is divided into two parts:
First, I explain everything in English.
Then, I go through everything again in Portuguese, so you can follow along and learn useful vocabulary at the same time.

In this episode of Slow Portuguese With Maria, I talk about one of the most important parts of Portuguese daily life: coffee!
Portugal is famous for its coffee culture. From the small, strong espresso to the abatanado, galão, and meia de leite, coffee is not just a drink — it’s a ritual. I explain how and when Portuguese people usually drink coffee, from the first cup in the morning to a quick espresso at the café counter, or after lunch or dinner.

New Words:
Chávena – cup
Abatanado – a long espresso (less strong than an espresso)
Galão – coffee with a lot of milk, served in a tall glass
Meia de leite – half coffee, half milk
Esplanada – outdoor café terrace

In this episode, I talk about my recent trip to Portugal. It was a short visit, but full of special moments with family and friends.
I tell you about almost missing my flight, eating IKEA hot dogs with my parents (a family tradition!), going to the beach, spending time with my niece, visiting Lisbon, listening to fado, and even doing a color analysis session.
Of course, not everything went perfectly — I also share the story of losing (and hopefully recovering!) a belt at the airport.

New Words:
Cachorro – hotdog
Cinto - Belt
Despedi-me – I said goodbye
Inesperado – unexpected
Pôr a conversa em dia – to catch up (with someone)
