What a great podcast. Que chévere!

Tá Falado is a really well done and unique language-learning podcast. The objective is to teach Brazilian Portuguese, but the teaching model also incorporates Spanish. What a great idea! This multiplies the utility of the material by bringing Spanish-speakers into the audience. My fiance and I want to learn Portuguese, but she only speaks Spanish. This works great for us. We listen to it together. It helps her learn English too! Kudos to the linguistics team at UT. Hookem' Horns!

Highly recommended!

I'm self-taught in Spanish and Portuguese, and always seeking to find ways of maintaining both in my poor gringo brain. This is a unique course, very well constructed, and quite effective. My only complaint is that it has too much English. Both the Portuguese and the Spanish examples are advanced enough that anyone speaking either to the level demonstrated in the lessons really doesn't need the English. I'd rather eliminate the English, which would allow more emphasis on the two Latin American languages.

Wonderful

Well, I'm a Spanish speaker and always wanted to learn Portuguese and this podcast is fantastic if you already know Spanish because they talk about the similarities and differences between both languages. Anyway I actually gave three stars for the great lessons and one more for making it free. I took off a star 'cause the American guy keeps making offensive comments about the Spanish language i.e. "lazy Spanish" as if Portuguese is better. Personally, all languages are beautiful and different and have their own uniqueness and just because one language pronounces it different than the other doesn't make that language "lazy". He says other comments like that to dog down spanish and that's just wrong.
