6. Try one of Transparent’s Portuguese courses, or take a Portuguese class at your university or local language school to learn some grammar and practice speaking.

4. Set a goal to learn five new words every day. You can learn at least one a day with the Portuguese Word of the Day.
3. Watch movies, TV shows, and videos in Portuguese – whatever you can get your hands on! YouTube has plenty of resources, and if you have Netflix, you can find plenty of Brazilian movies.
2. Make friends with Brazilians, either in your city or even online. The more you speak, listen, read, and write, be it over drinks or by IM, the easier it will be to pick up words and grammar.
