Talk The Streets
Talk The Streets, led by the charismatic Liz Sharma, is specifically designed for expats and travelers who want to navigate daily life in Portugal with confidence.
Liz’s program strips away the academic fluff and focuses on “survival” Portuguese—the kind you actually hear at the market, the post office, or a local café. The platform is famous for its practical “hacks” and focus on European Portuguese pronunciation, which is often the biggest hurdle for beginners.
Talk The Streets offers a mix of structured video courses and highly actionable tips that help learners overcome the “fear of speaking.”
If your goal is to integrate into Portuguese society, understand the local slang, and stop feeling like a tourist, this program provides the social tools and linguistic shortcuts necessary to start “talking the streets” immediately.
Go beyond the textbook and dive into Portuguese culture.
