Today, we begin a new series using Youtube videos in Portuguese to practice listening skills, as well as a way to learn about Brazilian culture and history.

This excellent series, called O Povo Brasileiro, is broken down into thirty videos on Youtube, which describes Brazilian history from its indigenous origins to modernity. After watching the full series, you’ll be an expert on Brazil! Below are the first, fifteenth and thirtieth videos. You can find the rest of the videos here.
