Jumpstart Bundle

A structured, practical introduction: ser and estar, articles and contractions, polite requests, ordering food and asking questions.

  • 8 video lessons

The Jumpstart Bundle is a structured, practical introduction to Portuguese: a focused sequence of eight lessons designed to build real-world communication skills from day one. It guides you through the essential foundations — gender and personal forms, the verbs ser and estar, core sentence structures, food and drink vocabulary, articles and contractions, and polite requests. It then moves on to everyday scenarios, such as ordering food and asking questions, so that you gain the confidence to understand, speak and use Portuguese naturally in daily situations.
