Learning Portuguese can be overwhelming at the beginning, however, with these 10 steps to enhance your Portuguese skills you'll overcome your difficulties with the blink of an eye! Just follow me...
Step 1: Practice your Portuguese every day consistently (10m p/day). How? Read aloud 5 different words every day. Example: interessante, desafiante, único, promissor e melódico.
Step 2: Expose yourself to videos made by Portuguese Native Speakers using Youtube, Podcasts, and Netflix/ RTP play.
I'll use some of my videos as examples:

Step 3: Shadowing your favorite Podcast or video.
Shadowing means repeating at the same time as it's spoken.

Portuguese Podcasts
Step 4: Listen to Portuguese songs with their lyrics and sing along.
