Portuguese egroup or forum?

Question

Hi kids,

I'm trying to improve my portuguese for an upcoming job. I imagined there must be egroups out there where people help one another learning the language, but I really can't find any. The search feature on yahoogroups is pretty shabby though. Does anyone know of such a forum or egroup? They've gotta exist, there's so many people out there wanting help with languages and wanting to help others. Caso que nao existe vamos criar! :)

Answer 1

My option number one is, of course:
http://www.phrasebase.com
If you don't like this one (*argh* :p), you may try
http://www.unilang.org/
Those are the two main places on the net related to lenguage partners and stuff. I am sure you'll find good help there as well as other students.

Answer 2

www.wordreference.com has some forums for a lot of languages, including Portuguese. However, these forums are more for asking questions about the language instead of just chatting. There is also a Yahoo!Answers Brazil, so if you want to practice your reading and maybe post a question to find a native speaker that will chat with you, you can do that there. Other than that, i dont really know, sorry. I speak a little though, and it is very similar to spanish, which i speak as well! Good luck with your new job and Portuguese!
