O TVTUGA é um site português que surgiu o objetivo de oferecer canais de TV online de uma forma gratuita. O tvtuga.com é obra de uma comunidade empenhada em criar um local, onde a visualização de canais de televisão oferecidos gratuitamente pela internet está organizada e constantemente atualizada.

Na verdade o site é um portal indexador de streams em vídeo existentes na internet. Ele não transmite nenhum destes streams, apenas os organiza de forma facilitada e categorizada após procuras exaustivas na internet.

É com certeza uma ótima oportunidade de praticar o listening tanto do inglês quando de outros idiomas como espanhol.
