Learn European Portuguese in Lisbon — where the espresso is a bica

Conversation first — the flashcards write themselves.
European Portuguese swallows its vowels and keeps its own words — a bica, not a cafezinho; «se faz favor», not «por favor» half the time. João's café teaches the Lisbon variant on its own terms, side by side with our Brazilian scenes so you hear exactly where the two Portugals part ways.
Boa tarde! Uma bica?
How Lisbon actually talks
Uma bica, se faz favorAn espresso, please (Lisbon's own word)
Pois éThat's right / so it goes
Está-se bemLife's good
What you'll pick up
- The closed Lisbon vowels and consonant clusters Brazilian-tuned ears miss
- Lisbon-only vocabulary: a bica, a imperial, «pois é», «está-se bem»
- European forms («tu fazes», the clitic placement) coached without dogma — Brazilian answers still count
