About this app

Master European Portuguese from Portugal with interactive, step-by-step lessons and a massive library of dialogues (with translated subtitles).

Since 2012, we've helped thousands of expats, travellers, and students worldwide learn Portuguese. Our small-but-mighty team focuses on only 1 language, so we can take a more practical, human approach to the unique challenges of learning European Portuguese: closed vowel pronunciation, the subtleties of formal vs. informal language, and much more.

Practice Portuguese was founded when Joel (from Canada) struggled to find non-Brazilian learning resources, so he teamed up with Rui (from Portugal) to solve this once and for all!

** TRUSTPILOT SCORE: Excellent 4.9 / 238 Ratings **

** WHAT MEMBERS ARE SAYING **

“Hands-down this is THE ultimate site for learning European Portuguese...The two creators create the perfect blend between the pronunciation and grammar of a native, Rui, and the perspective, empathy, and sponge-of-mind of a foreigner, Joel.”
– Emily Reynolds

“Friendly, bite-sized lessons that make it easy to practice every day. It has been amazing to track my progress and realize I understand more and can even communicate a bit after just a few months of 15 minutes a day.”
– Sophia Bogle

“If you want to learn European Portuguese, this is the site to use. I have been an educator for 27 years, and am not easily impressed by educational software. Yet I am so impressed by the care, thought, and planning behind this site. The team at Practice Portuguese has made learning a new language an absolute joy.”

I have only been using the app for a few days, and so far, the actual learning experience has been really good. Unfortunately, it is such a shame that the app itself is very slow, logs you out with no way of saving your login details, and is not very well laid out. I might try just using the Web page. Daily reminders would be good also. I had been using DuoLingo, which is very slick. Good learning experience, poor App. Updated

I love this app, I initially started learning with dualingo but practice portuguese is 100 times better. It doesnt just tell you how to say words and phrases it teaches you how and why with units, podcasts, conversations with transcripts, and spaced repetition of a customisable list of phrases. Would love to be able to access smart review or units offline by downloading.

Hands down the best app and website for learning European Portuguese. Great content, and thoughtfully structured. The subscription is excellent value when you consider how much content there is, and that you'd only get one or two hours of lessons per month for the same price. I wish I'd started using the app sooner. Offline content and notifications / reminders would be great, but still a strong 5 stars without these two features. Great work!
