portuguese Songs
Amar pelos Dois - Salvador Sobral
Do you like jazz and are looking for new melodies in Portuguese to improve your language skills? Then, Amar pelos Dois is the track you are looking for. It talks about a man who lost the love of his life and describes all the hardships he has to endure to try to find it again. As it’s a track that talks about a lot of figurative situations and uses future subjunctive as in Se um dia alguém preguntar por mim (If one day someone asks me, say that I lived to love you), it’s more suitable for intermediate or advanced students.

Tu e Eu- Diogo Piçarra
Looking to improve your European Portuguese skills while listening to a great song? Then, Tu e Eu is a great option for intermediate and advanced students to take their vocabulary to the next level, while improving their comprehension and pronunciation. This track is a romantic piece that describes the feelings between two childhood sweethearts that get together after decades of not seeing each other. With phrases like Se a idade não perdoar, e quando não me ouvires cantar, you’ll get to see how the future subjunctive is used in context, while learning pronunciation specific to Portugal.

Are you looking to learn European Portuguese but find it hard to find TV series and songs that help you improve your pronunciation and comprehension? Look no further than Raquel Tavares’ music. Meu amor de longe, for example, is a fado song, characterised by a mournful tune that sings about the sea and a lost love. With this track, you’ll get familiar with saudades, a term that refers to a feeling of nostalgia about something that may or may not have happened. It’s also full of words about love and loss, so it’s a great chance to build up your vocabulary! Check out the song here!portuguese Youtube Channels
