Because there is crime in Portugal (it's not a paradise...), I'll place some ocasional news about the subject here. Seven people were convicted to prison (7Y9M to 16 years) for a total of 36 robberies. They robbed houses, with old folks inside, and businesses, perpetrated in the districts of Coimbra and Aveiro in early 2022.https://www.jn.pt/3644566357/sete-dos-15-arguidos-do-caso-teia-dourada-condenados-a-prisao/

Learning a new language as an adult can feel overwhelming. Time, work, kids, moving abroad, bureaucracy, self-doubt, hearing or memory challenges… plus so many courses and apps to choose from. I’ve felt many of these myself while learning 11 languages, and I see them every day with my Unschoolers. But here’s what I know: When you finally have real support, someone who understands how you learn, where you are in life, and what’s holding you back, everything changes. Portuguese starts feeling like your language. You stop chasing perfection and start finding your voice. I can’t help everyone this deeply (that’s what I do with my Portuguese Unschoolers), but this Sunday I’m opening a space for you to ask me anything about learning Portuguese. It’s my little Christmas gift: one hour to pick my brain and get clarity on your path. 🎄 Xmas Q&A by The Language Unschool 📅 Sunday, 14 Dec 2025 ⏰ 4:30 pm (Lisbon) 📍 Zoom 👉 Register: https://thelanguageunschool.com/xmasqa
