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 **

Learn correct European Portuguese pronunciation with this app! This is well-explained and presented consistently, which I loved. There are so many other useful features, including a "flashcard" tool - save any word or phrase you encounter in the app to try again layer, out of context. The content in the "touch the answer" exercises change out slowly, so this app isn't for someone in a hurry to run through a lesson, you are forced to go through it at the speed at which it is exists.

Brilliant app for learning EUROPEAN Portuguese. The structure is interactive, intuitive, with excellent short stories that have multiple ways to learn. You can practice speaking, hearing, reading, listening, etc in manageable bites. Plus there are numerous sections devoted to pronunciation. Having learned other languages in school the format is very similar but in a much more approachable manner (ie no memorizing lists or conjugation tables). A very well done app!

Great app, I started with Brazilian Portuguese on Babbel but realized it was going to be too different to European so switched to this. They have multiple speakers and I had better luck understanding people and them understanding me than when I've tried other languages on other apps. My main complaint is offline functionality, I did a lot on the subway and if they had offline downloads or cached more when there was a connection it would help.
