Intermediate path (on this page)
B1–B2 Portuguese stalls when recognition outruns production. Fix with denser vocabulary, weekly speaking, and graduating media — not another A1 restart.
Four-week plateau block
- Density — First 500 + topic decks; invent two work/school sentences daily.
- Output — two short emails or voice notes; compare structure with a model when you have one.
- Media step-up — slow/graded news → one harder clip; 90-second retell.
- Integration — tutor or exchange on this month’s topics only; 120-word opinion with three connectors.
Ouvi uma notícia fácil e contei três factos com a minha voz.
Portuguese plateau traps
- False friends with Spanish ignored
- Subjunctive collecting without weekly use
- Passive novela binge

A solid practice day
Finish one listening or reading piece you can actually complete. Invent three new sentences from today’s words. Record a short spoken retell. If the input is too hard, step down one level — don’t open another app. Repeat on three weekdays before stacking new resources.
