Preeminent English-for-Brazilians blog Tecla SAP gets a facelift, new address, and continues to grow
Ulisses W. Carvalho has been publishing this fantastic resource for some time now, which is evident from his readership, which hovers around the 30,000 mark! The focus is on easy-to-digest tips (dicas), translations of Brazilian colloquialisms (expressões idiomáticas), short quizzes, exercises, and more.
Tecla SAP got a big lift from Ulisses’ appearance on the Jo Soares show, which is the equivalent of The Tonight Show in Brazil. To be fair, it’s probably better to compare it to the Johnny Carson-era of The Tonight Show, as Jo is well-loved and a cultural icon. Here’s the video of Ulisses’ appearance: Video on YouTube
The new Tecla SAP (http://www.teclasap.com.br/blog/) is a testament to the collaborative nature of the English-for-Brazilians blogosphere; we note happily that the folks from English Experts pitched in in the migration and redesign of the massive blog. Check it out!!
Fala Bonito is the most-read blog regarding the Portuguese language that I have found.
Rene Marcondes posts often and well regarding aspects of the Portuguese language, Brazil, and also on varied aspects of linguistics in general. Rene also offers courses, though my impression is that they are mainly for native Spanish speakers, though I could certainly be wrong. His Skype information is available on the site as well
Great posts include:
