Welcome to The Flow of Portuguese!

My name is Idahosa Ness, and I am the founder of The Mimic Method and the creator of this course.

​In this program, you will build the phonetic architecture required to hear and process Brazilian Portuguese. And as I've said before, mastering the sounds of Portuguese is the most important step in attaining fluency.

By the end of this course, you should be able to match the speed and tone of the artists on the bottom of this page. But don't let it fool you. You're not here to learn how to sing or rap, but build your command of Portuguese speech.

At times, it may be difficult. There will be sounds that you can't yet pronounce. So to help you along, I created special bootcamps with in-depth explanation of these sounds and practice drills.


Each time you practice these songs, you actively build motor memory. As you progress through the course you will have internalized a powerful, unconscious command of the Portuguese sound patterns, or Flow. 

​
With the Flow 
down, all the remaining tasks of Portuguese acquisition will come naturally to you. So follow the link below and get started first with a Primer on Portuguese Sound.
