Do you want to learn European Portuguese via self-study? Here is a list of some of the content I have found online you can access for free. There is the option to sign up for paid content and some offer group or private lessons. Yes, there are ads at the beginning of each bite-size lesson but nothing in life (IMHO) is truly free.
N.B The following are not listed in order of preference. If you have any favourites which are not included in the list please post a link in the comments below and I will check them out. Thanks
