This week on The World Wanderers we’re excited to be talking to Liz Sharma from Talk The Streets! Liz is from the UK but since 2005 has been nursing a passion for all things Portuguese.
Liz first visited Portugal on a college exchange and now calls Lisbon home. To help others connect with Portugal she started Talk the Streets, where she helps equip others to get out and about in the Portuguese community and explore all it has to offer.
In the episode, we chat about Liz’s passion for Portuguese, why learning a language adds so much to travel, and what Liz’s tips are for anyone starting to learn Portuguese (or another language).
In this episode:
- How did Liz start traveling?
- What was it about Portuguese culture and language that attracted Liz?
- Why does Portugal fly under the radar compared to some of its bigger neighbors
- What are the differences between Brazilian Portuguese and Portuguese in Portugal?
- What is day-to-day life like in Lisbon?
- Why has Lisbon become such a hub for nomads over the past few years
- What is the cost of living like in Lisbon?
- The negative side of lots of nomads and ex-pats settling in Lisbon
- Can you get by in Portugal without Portuguese?
- Where do you start if you’re starting to learn a language from zero
