Learn the Portuguese Portugal speaks.
Portugal Speaks is a complete European Portuguese course built for expats settling into life here, or for those who simply want to learn the language. Every word is recorded by native Lisbon speakers, not adapted from a course made for Brazil.
Now on the App Store for iPhone and the Microsoft Store for Windows. Android is coming soon.
Built specifically for the Portuguese spoken here
Most language apps default to Brazilian Portuguese, since that's the bigger market. Portugal Speaks doesn't. Every sound, word, and phrase is the European Portuguese you'll actually hear day to day, taught by a real voice from Lisbon.
A different rhythm
Closed vowels and a softer, quicker rhythm than Brazilian Portuguese. It's the kind of thing that's easiest to pick up by ear, from a real Lisbon voice.
The words people use here
"Autocarro," not "ônibus." "Casa de banho," not "banheiro." Small differences, worth getting right from the start.
Grounded in real expat life
Lessons and stories built around situations you're actually in, like the NIF line (tax ID registration), the health center, and finding a place to live.
Everything you need to go from "bom dia" to a real conversation
Sixteen structured lessons, native-speaker recordings, and enough practice tools to help it actually stick.
