Resources for portuguese

I've been giving private Portuguese lessons for some time now - employing a range of methods to suit all levels to great success.
My excellent command of the English language and in-depth knowledge of British and American culture help inform each lesson, bridging the gaps by establishing comparisons and highlighting key differences.
Clarifications between Portuguese as spoken in Brazil and Portuguese from Portugal can also be provided, if that is of interest.

Claire and I were in a charity shop by the office, buying suits for the next Formal Friday, and overheard the assistants giving the new Japanese assistant lessons in London slang. Here are a few terms, for those who aren't sufficiently 'street' to know them already:

'peng' = good/hot
'butters' = bad/ugly (As in "dem beats is butters man")
'nang' = good
'sick' = also good
'sket' = a slut, a sexually promiscuous girl

Also enjoyed their exchange with their six-year old sister:
- 6yo: "Why can't I say 'sket'?"
- Sister: "Um... because it's offensive"

Rote learning and memorising lists of verbs are out fluent talking is in, with the Michel Thomas language method. It works by boosting pupils’ confidence, says Martin Cosgrove

Nice set of tips on how to speak this particular dialect of Persian - although the techniques could presumably apply to any language.

If anyone is interested, there is a language show on at Olympia in London today, tomorrow and Sunday, called the "language show" (logically enough).

It's free if you register in advance, else I think you can pay on the door on the day. I'm going to go and check it out.
