DailyNata: Learn European Portuguese from jokes and quotes

Olá, I'm Amin. I've been running DailyNata for about four and a half years. It began as a daily email, which is where the name comes from: one small piece of European Portuguese in your inbox every morning. Almost everything out there teaches the Brazilian kind, and I wanted something for people learning the Portuguese spoken in Portugal. Over the years the lessons grew longer and more careful, I added the Plus membership for the proper courses, and the email moved to once a week so each one could be worth reading. The idea never changed: read a little real Portuguese, hear it said properly, and let it sink in over time. There are now more than 400 jokes, quotes and short stories on the site, all free and all recorded by a Portuguese speaker. Plus is where the courses, study packs, grammar articles and the thousand-plus exercises are. If you've tried learning Portuguese before and it didn't stick, I'd like to know what got in the way.
