Português de Portugal · CEFR A1

Say something in Portuguese today, not someday.

Lesson 1 is open right now, no account, no card. Greet a neighbour the way Lisbon does, hear it in Portuguese voices, then see why it works. Lesson 8, ordering at the café, is free too.

No streak, no email, no guilt. Every phrase on the tiles comes from the free lessons.

Why this course

Not like other apps.

Them

A monthly fee, Brazilian audio, a streak that nags

Most apps charge by the month for a Portuguese nobody around you speaks, one disconnected word at a time, and make you feel bad on the days you skip.

Us

Lisbon voices, whole situations, one price for a year

Every lesson is one real moment. You hear the exchange first, then see why it works. No streaks. You choose when.

You

Understood at the counter in a few weeks

Practice remembers what you got wrong and brings it back until it sticks, so every session starts from where you actually are.

Open to everyone

Hear it before you buy.

Both lessons below are complete and free, audio included. Finish one and you already know how the whole course feels. The rest opens with a purchase.

How the course works

Set aside around 40 minutes for a lesson, or take it in smaller chunks. Here’s a simple way to make it stick.

  1. Read and explore

    Start with the explanations and examples. Take your time with the rules and notice how the Portuguese fits together.

  2. Listen, then say it

    Listen to the sounds, words and examples. Play them again, say them aloud and see what you can remember without looking.

  3. Try without the translation

    Hide the translation and try to work out what the Portuguese means. Then show it again to check. It’s fine to need another look.

  4. Have a go at the exercises

    Work through the exercises at the bottom of the lesson. Try an answer yourself before revealing the examples and explanations.

  5. Practise a little more

    Follow the practice link in each lesson for an extra round with what you’ve just learned and a little review from earlier lessons.

You don’t have to remember everything in one go. Come back, listen again and let familiar words turn into phrases you can use.
