When I was learning portuguese I found that it helped to listen to catchy music. The technique is to select a song you really love and listen to it alot. That way I engaged that part of my mind that repeats catchy tunes endlessly whether I like it or not. In english songs this drives me absolutely crazy. However when I use it with portuguese it allows for an effortless learning technique. Currently I am teaching english to my Brazilian girlfriend. After she said the singer spoke to quickly I recorded me speaking the lines of the song 1 by 1 for her. Because of the nature of portuguese speakers habits of pronounciation the recordings are optimized for a portuguese speaker. I repeat the words where a portuguese speaker has trouble that arise from rules of portuguese pronounciation conflicting english ones. See if you like the learning technique. The original song is here so you can listen with music at full speed. Entire song spoken slowly
