I'd very much appreciate it! If not, no worries! D Thank you again for your useful info! Here's an updated list: De qualquer maneira, continue praticar e boa sorte. Thanks again for your tips. I now watch the show 'Os nossas dias' sometimes and it's very interesting to watch, but if you want to watch it's better to start with older episodes first. The new ones don't have the subtitles in the right place yet. The subs disappear too quickly and with the older episodes it's not the case. I just watch from episode 1 of season 2 broadcasted in april I think and that works just fine with the subtitles.
Even though I won't understand everything at the moment, I'm going to look in to this for a bit of fun. Unfortunately, the list above has all the subtitled programmes I could find easily. I'm sure a more exhaustive search would find more, but many children's programmes are cartoons and they are probably not made by RTP themselves and are simply bought possibly from English-speaking countries and dubbed into Portuguese. This means they do not have the right to make them available on-demand in any case. If you must have European Portuguese then look for "Ruca".
I haven't found any with subtitles, but these are dubbed versions of the Canadian kids' show "Caillou" also available on YouTube in English and Brazilian Portuguese so you could watch the English episodes first to get the gist before you try to watch the European Portuguese ones unfortunately, the episode numbering for "Ruca" is different so you'll need to find matching episodes by title. It may help you to understand the Portuguese by following the story in the script. For example, the first Ruca video in my link is:.
A bit of digging found this RTP programme for teenagers: I'm Brazilian and I'm looking for people for practicing my English, let me help you with my Portuguese. Segue abaixo algumas dicas! Though I hope you find somebody to help you with your English, I don't think that a post about European Portuguese like this one is the ideal place to find partners who want to learn Brazilian Portuguese.
The best idea is to start your own discussion because you'll reach a wider audience. MelancholicChen 16 14 9 6 5. NinoGroot 13 12 9.
