Is The Best Method for Learning Portuguese What You Are Looking For?

Olá, tudo bem?

It's with great pleasure that I present to you Rafa's Vocabulary Ticker - an alternative language learning programme, considered by many to be the best method for learning Portuguese.

It might not be suitable for every single person, but it's indeed the best I have created so far, as a passionate Portuguese teacher.

If you want to discover it by yourself right now, please click on the box on the right-hand-side column now, otherwise please read on.

O.K. Let's face it...

As someone who wants to learn Portuguese, don't you sometimes feel that you don't have enough spare time to dedicate to your learning?

If so, don't worry. We all know the feeling.

Rafa’s Vocabulary Ticker has been designed to be that unique language-learning tool for busy students with demanding lifestyles, who spend long hours working at their computer and who want to learn and communicate in Portuguese having no time available to spare on their learning.

Rafa's Vocabulary Ticker is a "CALL" - Computer-Assisted Language Learning tool - based on a piece of software, which allows you to be in contact with those useful Portuguese words and expressions all day long, and with that I mean, as long as you have your computer switched on.

With Rafa's Vocabulary Ticker, you will be learning Portuguese with your concious and subconscious mind, almost as if you were immersed in the language.

A way that can make you speak Portuguese easily,without frustration, without demanding time from you to learn, and allowing you to have fun and satisfaction with your learning.

Come on! Learning should be fun, don't you agree?. Only when we have fun we learn and retain things in our memory for longer.

But Rafa's Vocabulary Ticker is not only a way for you to learn a language having fun. It teaches you what you should say in Portuguese by categories of situations.

OK... what can Rafa’s Vocabulary Ticker teach me?

You might be thinking...

And what is it like?

It's a method for learning Portuguese with the facility to be loaded with new categories of words as you progress with your learning. It's a pay-as-you-go system where you choose what to learn next as you successfully progress.

You have packages of words and expressions available at your choice (with over 3,500 words and expressions in total so far), which have been carefully prepared in order to teach you the Portuguese words and expressions you normally use in most aspects of your life - from survival language to the most useful words, from types of food (vegetables, meat, fish, eggs, and so on), to types of tastes (salty, sweet, sour, etc.), from colours (green, blue, yellowish and so on) to shapes, from greetings to forewords (hello, good morning, see you later, etc.), from numbers to ways of how to talk to people in Portuguese, from verbs to prepositions, etc...

This language tool will also give you the right pronunciation by listening to the sounds of the words and phrases, which you can repeat as many times as you want to get them stick.

When you are confident enough about what the words sound like, and how the words are pronounced, you can switch the sound off and keep on recalling the words just by looking at them.

But... Can you imagine reaching a level when you don't need to listen to the words any more to be able to remember and recognize them?

Yes. This is what this programme for learning Portuguese is all about. If you do it all, look at, hear and pronounce the words 3 or 4 times when you first see them, you can pretty much recall them later with much more ease and confidence.

Check out by yourself what you can do with this Rafa's Vocabulary Ticker programme here now.

With this method for learning Portuguese you can...

  • ... select categories of words and expressions you want to learn from the range of categories available (e.g. Most Common Words, Meeting People, Numbers Time & Location, Clothing and Accessories, etc.).

  • ... select the words you want to learn from each category.

  • ... listen to and repeat the words and expressions as many times as you want to.

  • ... select the speed you want learn them.

  • ... select if you want to see the words passing by on your computer screen, or just be reminded of a new word, as often as you want it to.

  • ...add, record and learn your own words and expressions as you please.

  • ... build your vocabulary by categories (Eating & Drinking Out, My Family & I, House & Furniture, Verb conjugation, etc.).

  • ... keep on building your vocabulary upon what you already know by being reminded of all the words and expressions you have learned before, as you learn new ones.

  • ...learn either from English into Portuguese or Portuguese into English - Only Portuguese words will be played.

  • ... choose where best this application fits in your computer screen (at the top or at the bottom or even hidden).

  • ...choose the correct application whether you are using Windows or Mac, or even Linux.

  • ...choose the font, size and colour you feel more comfortable and more receptive for learning.

  • ...choose the background colour of the platform, where the words will be running.

  • ...choose random selection to test you if you can really recall the words and expressions you have already learned.

  • ...use your full brain capacity for learning – your conscious and subconscious mind.

  • ...feel satisfaction with your learning.

  • ...have great fun while you are learning Portuguese, as this method can be turned into a great game that you can play with your friends and members of your family and learn Portuguese together.


You’ll also be able to realise what it sounds like when you need to run words together in a certain expression, which you can repeat over and over again.


This way you will easily learn the sounds of the words without having to pay much attention to the exceptions. You will learn by practising and by dint of repetition all day long.

  • It gives you the equivalent real translation of Portuguese words and expressions in English all day long,
  • It allows you to select what you want to learn,
  • It respects your own pace of learning,

But... let me tell you more about how this creation has been brought to the world...

For several years, as a Portuguese teacher, I have always been interested in, as well as doing extensive research on how to learn languages easier and faster.

As you may imagine, all the people I have taught so far are very different in their, personalities, backgrounds, culture, professions and so on. However, over time, I began to realise that they all had a few things in common:

1. All of them had a passion and a desire for speaking Portuguese.

2. All of them were very busy people with all sorts of interests, duties and distractions.

3. All of them wanted to learn a language and do many other things in life at the same time.

4. All of them were spending more and more time in front of a computer.

5. All of them found it hard to retain in their memories what they had learned before as they kept on progressing with their language studies.

6. All of them found it quite challenging to pronounce and recognise Portuguese words when native speakers talk.

I also realised, throughout the years of teaching that, if more and more people are interested in learning foreign languages, these same people are more and more busy at work and with all sorts of other things they want to achieve in life.

If, on the one hand, the aspirations for learning languages are increasing, on the other hand, the time and motivation to learn are becoming increasingly more and more scarce too, due to all sorts of distractions, wants and needs that surround us every day.

Does this ring a bell? I know. It does to the majority of us.

So, the realisation of these facts was what triggered me to find a solution for this problem.

As an incurable passionate for learning and teaching languages, I just couldn’t accept the fact that people are just too busy, which, very often, refrain them from learning a language properly.

Furthermore, throughout the years I also saw many people who were very enthusiastic at a certain point, but then, little by little, ended up giving up, abandoning their studies.

Pointless is to say that, without practice and without perseverance, they forgot everything they had learned. This is indeed very sad.

So, these, and other factors made me become concerned about these people.

Personally, I always look at every single individual as a human being and not as just a number, and that's why every time I saw somebody stopping their learning, it was a fact of concern to me.

I can clearly recall days coming home, after long hours of teaching individuals and groups of students, asking myself "Why is this happening?

Why did John give up when he was progressing so well?

And, sometimes I dared asking my students their reasons. Some of them were very brave and honest with me and replied with comments like:

"Well, I'm working too hard and I don't have the energy to carry on at the moment..."

or

"You know, when I go home I still have so many things to do and I need to spend time with my family too."

or

"I wish my days were longer, so that I could do everything I want to do..."

Their comments made me think that there seemed to be a problem here and I needed to find a solution for it.

The thought and urge for creating absorbed my mind:

"If I could only create a way able to allow people to learn Portuguese while they are busy working at their computers, without jeopardizing their work performance, nor their free time at home..."

Actually, Rafa (I thought to myself) "can you imagine how much could you be helping your own students?".

Then a tsunami of thought started to flood my mind...

"I could even create such a way of learning that could turn learning languages into great fun at home too, with other members of one's family as a great game!"

I thought "If this could be created, it could be helping people learn another language without having to sacrifice the time they would like to spend on other activities..."

"Hummm... this needs serious thinking indeed."

For months, I carried this challenge in my mind.

For months I took tones of notes on ways of solving this problem.

For months I came up with many ideas and none of them seemed to work.

However, one day I came across with the fact that for years I have been aiming to create the a method for learning Portuguese with all the words and expressions I have been collecting since I became a professional teacher.

One day I had a vision in my mind of a tape of words with sounds passing over and over on a computer screen.

And this, my friend, was when everything started.

With this vision, I had just visualised a tool to teach you the words and expressions I had been collecting for several years, which will allow you to learn Portuguese while you are working at your computer, during your working hours, and without jeopardising your work performance.

And all of a sudden... Woohoo! Eureka! I got it!

By mastering this idea, and by overcoming thousands of financial and technical obstacles, Rafa's Vocabulary Ticker was finally born!

And now here it is, available for you to enjoy.

So, If you haven't done it yet, get this method for learning Portuguese by clicking here now.

Muito obrigado! (Thank you very much!)

What People Say About Rafa's Method:

"Olá Rafa

You are a genius. This is perfect. Your packs teach exactly what is essential to get along to start speaking the language. I have quite a number of other different courses and they disappoint me. I am so fed up with all this tourist phrases. ”Onde fica o banco? Onde posso alugar um carro?” One of the courses I bought said it was a complete conversational course. It was numbers, days, dates, greetings, some useful words and some verbs and the course ended with some sentences in the present. That was all of it.

But in the packs you present here, there are just the glossary I need to glue together ordinary sentences, which I need to talk to friends and the people I meet in Portugal.

Words and sentences like, That's it!, at least, by the way, even better, neither…nor, besides, etc..

This is just what I was missing to make daily-life sentences.

I also like very much the explanations you put in, like ”for things”, as indicating the way” etc.. I also learn some new English glossary here.

Estou muito feliz.

Um grande abraço,

Anne - Norway".



"Rafa's Vocabulary Ticker is a great tool, and in my opinion, the best method for learning Portuguese, if you want to learn Portuguese fast.

The useful vocabulary bar allows you to glance over the words while you're working on your computer, as it sits nicely on the background on your screen. The sound function means that the words are pronounced aloud for you, which is great to learn how to pronounce them too. You can also choose to hide the bar and still have the words read aloud - this is extremely useful to get your ear used to the sound of the language if you're looking at travelling to Portugal or Brazil, for instance!

What I like the most however (and that's why I say this is the best method for learning Portuguese) is that from Rafa's Vocabulary Ticker you can select the words you want to learn. You can purchase separate word packages, so that you can learn the specific vocabulary you need, whether it's day-to-day terms or travel-related words... You can also type in any other words that you want to remember, record them yourself, and the ticker will display them and read them aloud for you.

All in all. This is definitely the best method for learning Portuguese, and I highly recommend Rafa's Vocabulary Ticker if you want to learn Portuguese in a fast, effective and tailor-made way. If you get Rafa's Vocabulary Ticker today you'll start speaking Portuguese in minutes!"
