Learn real European Portuguese — not Brazilian.
Duolingo doesn’t teach European Portuguese. Babbel barely tries. Aprender is built from the ground up for the Portuguese actually spoken in Lisbon, Porto, and the Algarve — every lesson, every word, every conversation.

MEET SOFIA, YOUR AI TUTOR
Sofia is your personal Portuguese tutor, available 24/7 for live conversation practice. Real back-and-forth dialogue. Real pronunciation feedback. In real European Portuguese.
She corrects you, encourages you, and keeps you speaking — not just clicking through exercises. Whether you’re a complete beginner or brushing up before a move to Portugal, Sofia adapts to you.

72 LESSONS. A1 TO C2. ZERO FILLER.
A clear, structured path from absolute beginner to advanced. No jumping around, no pointless repetition. 72 lessons and 35 guided dialogues that build on each other, the way a proper language course should.
Every lesson is rooted in European Portuguese. The grammar, the slang, the rhythm — all from Portugal, not Brazil.

HEAR THE DIFFERENCE IN YOUR PRONUNCIATION
Real-time speech recognition scores your pronunciation instantly and shows you what to fix. European Portuguese sounds nothing like Spanish or Brazilian Portuguese — the vowels drop, the rhythm changes, and most apps teach you the wrong version entirely.
Aprender makes sure you sound like you’re from Lisbon, not São Paulo.

Ratings & Reviews
This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Grammar, finally explained.
• New Grammar Guide: 51 topics covering gender, articles, question words, verb tenses and everything in between. Search it or browse by theme, and open it any time from Practice or Lessons. No more losing a rule the moment a lesson ends.
• Grammar drills: pick the right article, spot the mistake, and build the question.
• Ask Sofia about any rule and she picks up the conversation with that topic already in hand.
• A much shorter first lesson, so your first Portuguese words take about a minute.
• Fixes: gendered words like obrigado and obrigada now show and speak your own form throughout lessons, and word order questions now give you tappable word chips.
• A cleaner Lessons screen, separate daily and evening reminders, and better iPad layouts.
