A Story-Driven Way to Learn Real Brazilian Portuguese

This prequel sets the stage for the Amor Passageiro series, introducing key characters and building the emotional context, while immersing you in natural, conversational Portuguese.

This story:

  • Teaches authentic grammar and vocabulary in context
  • Builds listening comprehension with real dialogue
  • Prepares learners for the main series through engaging storytelling

It’s the prequel nobody asked for — but you’ll be glad we made it.

We're going back to before Amor Passageiro We're going back to the days before vanessa hooked up with Jason we're going to tell you and show you what happened before Jason came to Brazil. Before Gabriela got her heart broken and before vanessa decided to hook up with a gringo.

We’re rewinding the story —
— to the stories you haven’t seen.

Before Amor Passageiro, things were messy.

  • Jason was still consulting chatGPT for Portuguese flirting tips.
  • Vanessa was giving Brazilian men one last chance (bless her).
  • And Gabriela? Let’s just say her romantic track record was… aggressively chaotic.

Now we’re telling the story you didn’t know you needed:

  • What really brought Jason to Brazil?
  • Why did Vanessa swear off Brazilian guys forever?
  • And how did Gabriela end up chasing heartbreak with 1-star passengers in the backseat?
