Into the Night With Jerry

Listening to Into the Night Show is an immersive, fun way to practice your Portuguese skills—but it also requires a bit of dedication and motivation. Your Into the Night Show on Espelha FM listening practice will be entirely self-structured.

It might be a bit intimidating at first, especially given the fact that you’ll likely be unable to find transcripts of the programs you’re listening to. But, provided you have your foundations in check, you’ll get the hang of it quicker than you realize. Make a regular habit out of it and you’ll be amazed at how much you’ll grasp within a few months.

Mixing things up a bit will help you get past that initial hurdle, too. Start with the Portuguese Music programs—they’ll be easier to digest in larger amounts, as you’ll find a good combination of DJ commentary, local songs and international hits to listen to.

Then, once you feel a bit more confident, tune in to the local news programs—these will require a lot of active listening, but they’ll give you a stronger understanding of the Brazilian or European social context and culture at large.

With all that said and done, it’s time to hit play on our top picks.
