Learn Portuguese with flashcards that actually stick

Audio-first vocabulary training with spaced repetition. Learn Portuguese words and phrases you’ll actually hear, remember them long-term, and practise both understanding and speaking.

Portuguese here means the learning content. Your interface language and your translation language are separate settings, so you can learn Portuguese in the setup that suits you.

Quick wins you’ll get

Audio + examples (so pronunciation isn’t guesswork) Daily review queue (spaced repetition does the scheduling) Two-way practice: recognise → recall → use it when you speak
Why Portuguese feels hard (and how we make it manageable)

Portuguese is rewarding, but it has a few classic traps.

We design the learning around the pain points that matter most:

Pronunciation that’s not obvious from spelling

Nasal sounds (mão, não), open vs closed vowels, and (in European Portuguese) faster, reduced vowels in real speech.

Verb forms everywhere

You don’t need to memorise full tables first – you need high-frequency chunks you can reuse.

Gender + contractions

Not just o/a – but also do/da, no/na, aos/às, etc.

“Ser” vs “estar”

The difference matters for meaning, so you’ll learn it in phrases, not rules alone.

How it works

Audio first, spaced repetition, and recall practice.

Audio first

Hear the word, see it in context, and connect sound to meaning.

Spaced repetition

You get a daily queue. The system brings back what you’re about to forget – no planning, no spreadsheets.

Two-way practice

Recognise it first, then switch to recall, so vocabulary becomes usable when you speak.
