Olá bom dia, tudo bem? (Please answer in the comments! 👇) Let's conclude the week with the perfect conversation starter: the weather, and topically, autumn, which appears to be upon us. Here's your autumn guide. Bom fin de semana, and see you on Monday. And don't worry if you see more 'mosquitos' than usual in Lisbon at the moment - as reported. Nothing to see (or hear!), here!

Today's module is very important and it could save you a lot of money! We're off to the petrol station (the gas station, if you prefer) to show you how to put the right fuel in your tank ✅ Hint: in Portugal, diesel isn't called diesel... The crucial vocabulary and phrases are here. See also my chat with @Colin Ross-Jones this morning about the future of fossil fuels in Portugal, and what we might be driving in years (maybe even months) to come...

Truly free now, Portuguese culture has just lost one of its greatest musical icons - Jorge Palma. Find out more about him and his legacy, and impact, in our revived 'Who's Who?' here. And hear his music, thanks to @António Ferreira, here. Where are you going, who are you speaking to and what will you say, in Portuguese, TODAY, hoje? And will you mention Senhor Jorge?

Olá, bom dia, alegria! Tudo bem? On the Good Morning Portugal show this morning, I'm talking to my good friend @Jeremy Colledge of Quantum Qi Gong, so let's take a look at health and well-being vocabulary today in the classroom here. If you're not going to see a complementary therapist or holistic practitioner today, where are you going? Who are you speaking to, and what are you saying to them in Portuguese? You know what to do. Please let us know in the chat 👇 We'll also be talking about concerns around a possible "national energy crisis" too, this morning, see the headlines

Olá bom dia! Tudo bem? Yes, it's Monday again, segunda-feira, a clear opportunity to start the week speaking Portuguese. So who are you speaking to today? Where are you speaking to them, and what are you going to say to them in Portuguese? There's also talk in the air about a book club (see last week's Expats Portugal Dream Team session where Gilda P' mentioned the President's book fair in his back garden!). Would you find a book club useful? How would you like to see it work? And if reading is a hobby of yours and you're interested in Portuguese history, you might like to tune into the Good Morning Portugal! show this morning to hear author Tim Richardson speak about his book 'Forgetting Nicholas Trant'. Oh, and here's a new special ops module for you, should you be going to a bookshop or your local library.
