At Thrifty Explorations, we are passionate about making language learning accessible and enjoyable for children of all ages. Our mission is to introduce children and their families to European Portuguese in a way that is both fun and effective.
Our books are specifically designed for beginners, with simplified English phonetics to bridge the gap between the English and Portuguese languages. Each book contains a parental pronunciation page which helps to explain some of the more unfamiliar sounds used in Portuguese. We understand that learning a new language can be intimidating for learners of any age, which is why we focus on providing a supportive and engaging experience.
Our mission
At Thrifty Explorations, our mission is to inspire the next generation of language learners by making European Portuguese accessible, fun, and engaging for children. Through our unique collection of children's books with simplified English phonetics, we aim to bridge the gap between cultures and empower young learners to embrace a new language with confidence. We believe that learning should be an enjoyable experience, so we strive to create educational tools that bring families together, enrich cultural understanding, and foster early bilingualism. Our goal is to spark curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning in every child.
Our vision
Our vision is to create a world where every child, no matter their background, has the opportunity to discover and embrace new languages and cultures. By making European Portuguese accessible through engaging, phonetic-based learning tools, we strive to be a catalyst for bilingualism in young learners worldwide. We aim to empower future generations with the language skills to connect, communicate, and thrive in an increasingly globalized world. We envision a future where language learning is not a barrier but a bridge — one that unites families, cultures, and communities through the joy of learning.
