Speaking Portuguese for the First Time at a Language Exchange in Brazil

Описание: I went to my first Mundo Lingo language exchange in Brazil to practise speaking Portuguese with strangers. Even though I only managed a couple of conversations in Portuguese before switching back to English, it showed me how these events are one of the best ways to improve language skills.

This video gives you a feel for what happens at a language exchange like Mundo Lingo, how English dominates globally compared to Brazil, and why using Portuguese in real life — not just apps like Duolingo or Busuu — makes all the difference for connection and fluency.

Peace and love,
