About Lettio: Portuguese by News
Practise Brazilian Portuguese for Celpe-Bras with easy daily news. Read, listen and build your vocabulary at A2, B1 or B2, in about 10 minutes a day. Lettio turns today’s news from Brazil into short, clear articles at three levels. Pick your level, tap any word you don’t know, listen to natural Brazilian audio and check what you understood. It is the simplest way to read Portuguese every day and learn the words people really use in Brazil. WHY LETTIO • Easy Brazilian news every day: work, health, education, cities, money, culture and sport. • Videos with subtitles: new news and explainer videos every day, with word-by-word highlighting, a translation in your language and exercises. • Any YouTube video: search YouTube or paste a link, and Lettio creates subtitles and a translation for you (Premium, videos up to 20 minutes). • One story, three levels: read the same article at A2, B1 or B2 and move up when you are ready. • Tap any word: instant meaning, pronunciation and verb forms. • Listen while you read: natural Brazilian Portuguese audio with speed control. • My words: save words from articles and review them with spaced-repetition flashcards. • Quick quiz: three comprehension questions after every article. • Portuguese dictionary built in, with conjugated forms recognised automatically. • Streaks and reading history keep your daily habit going. CELPE-BRAS PRACTICE Celpe-Bras tests how well you understand real Brazilian texts and audio, and the Intermediário level is what most foreigners need for naturalisation, work registration or university. Lettio gives you a daily dose of exactly that: current news from Brazil, rewritten at your level, with natural audio. It is reading and listening practice, not an official mock exam. WHICH LEVEL IS RIGHT FOR ME? • A2: short sentences and everyday words. • B1: complete news stories in simple Portuguese. • B2: close to real Brazilian newspapers, useful practice before the Celpe-Bras exam. WHO IT’S FOR • Immigrants, students and workers living in Brazil or moving there. • Spanish speakers who want to switch to Brazilian Portuguese quickly. • Learners who finished a course and want easy Portuguese reading material. • Anyone who loves Brazil and wants to follow its news in Portuguese. The app interface is available in 15 languages: English, Tiếng Việt, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, Deutsch, हिन्दी, Italiano, Português (Brasil), Español, Română, Shqip, Українська, العربية. FREE TO START Read 3 new articles a day and save up to 20 words for free. Lettio Premium unlocks every article at every level, the full archive and unlimited saved words, with no ads. Choose 3 months, 6 months, 1 year or a one-time lifetime purchase. Premium also unlocks full video subtitles and subtitles for any YouTube video you choose. Start small: one article a day. Your Portuguese will follow. Lettio is an independent project. Articles are written for learners from real news events, simplified and labelled when AI-assisted; sources are credited inside the app. Privacy policy: https://lettio.2sbrain.net/privacy
