How it works

Listen first, then make it stick.

  1. Listen

    Real European Portuguese on everyday topics matched to your level. Follow the captions line by line, read a summary in your own language when you lose the thread, then check what you understood with a short quiz.

    A Listen post in the app: the audio player, with captions that follow the recording.
  2. Practice

    Work with the vocabulary in short exercises on the same topics: fill in the gaps, check your answers, and open a translation whenever you need one.

    A Practice exercise: a Portuguese text with gaps filled in.
  3. Recall

    Save words and phrases with one tap as you go. Each one keeps the sentence it came from and its audio, and Recall brings it back for review at the right time.

    A Recall review card: a phrase, the sentence it came from and its meaning.
  4. Speak

    Talk about what you just listened to with an AI tutor: same vocabulary, same topic, same level. The words you just heard become words you use.

    Included with Plus
    A spoken conversation with the AI tutor, with its transcript.

Take it with you

The Portuguesepedia app puts everything on your phone. It’s one tap away whenever you have a few minutes, on the bus or while your coffee cools, which makes it easier to practice a little every day.

What learners say

  • Something clicked after a few weeks. Real Portuguese started making sense, not just on paper but when I was actually listening. I hadn’t felt that kind of progress before.

    Maria
  • I’d been learning Portuguese for years and still didn’t feel confident using it. Textbooks only took me so far, and in speaking classes I’d freeze. Here, I finally feel like I’m getting somewhere.

    Emely
  • I listen to something at my level, look up a quick explanation when I’m confused, then do an exercise on the same topic. Everything I need is in one place.

Quick answers

Portugal or Brazil?

European Portuguese as spoken in Portugal.

Who is this for?

Best for solid A2 and up. Absolute beginners may find some material challenging at first.

How will this help me improve?

It builds what apps often miss: real listening comprehension, vocabulary in context, and natural phrasing.

Do I need to follow a fixed path?

No. Pick a level and topic, then mix formats (Listen, Practice, Idioms) as needed.

How do I find the right content without getting lost?

Use the level + topic filters across Listen, Practice, Idioms, and Reads. Save what you like so you can return to it.

How often is new content added?

New content is added often, usually daily and at least weekly.

What’s the difference between Basic and Plus?

Basic lets you explore and practice with limited weekly access. Plus adds unlimited access to content and Recall, speaking practice with an AI tutor, and monthly live sessions with Pedro.

Can I upgrade to Plus later?

Yes. Start with Basic and upgrade anytime from your account.

Can I cancel the Plus plan any time?

Yes. Cancel anytime. You keep Plus until the billing period ends, then you automatically downgrade to Basic.

You passed A2. Now close the gap.

Best for learners A2 and up who want better listening, more natural phrasing, and real confidence in European Portuguese.
