I use the Internet as a powerful tool to help make our classes interactive and bring the Brazilian Culture closer to the student.
I use many different links, but these are some of my favorites:
www.youtube.com
For songs, news and soap opera’s episodes
www.terra.com.br
For magazines, news, movies, culture, travel, shopping and more. Great site for teaching teenagers and adults.
www.yahoo.com.br and www.cade.com.br
For more advanced students who can search on Brazilian search engines, a lot more efficient than searching on international search engines.
I also subscribe to dish network which has a Brazilian Channel “Globo” and my box allows me to record any show and use it in the classroom. $ 29.00 a month + cost of the satellite.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Tchau!

Greetings,
I would like to suggest a section of my website as a link for inclusion on your site. I have several interactive games for learning Portuguese (both Brazilian and European, with a few more pending assistance from a translator available on my website at
http://www.digitaldialects.com/Portuguese.htm
http://www.digitaldialects.com/Brazilian%20Portuguese.htm
You might call the link something like ‘Digital Dialects Portuguese Games’ or whatever you wish. A usual description might be ‘Interactive games for learning the Portuguese language’.
Kind regards
Craig Gibson
Note: there are free to use online games for learning 60 languages on the Digital Dialects Website: http://www.digitaldialects.com
