Learn 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!

Ratings and Reviews
Great resource for European Portuguese
This is a fun app and a great way to learn European Portuguese, especially if you need to learn the accent. I studies several years on Duolingo (Brazilian Portuguese) but PP helped me get familiar with the differences between BP and EP. I wish there were a way to take tests and level up, so you could skip things you know. Also, the app doesn’t always work the way it should. I almost always do lessons on my phone. Maybe the website is less glitchy. I love watching the videos and shorties. The transcription and translation features are genius. I also like that you can slow the rate of speech down - .7 é perfeito para mim. Now if I can just get people to talk that devagar when I visit Portugal in October…🙃
Best App for European Portuguese
I spent 6 months trying to learn as much European Portuguese as I could in preparation for a trip to Portugal. I struggled finding resources that were not Brazilian Portuguese, and then I found this app. I used several different apps- this one blew all others out of the water! Well worth the subscription. The phrases are useful and presented by native speakers. The grammar lessons are extremely helpful. I loved being able to bookmark phrases and add them to my smart review. My favorite part was the “shorties”, where you listen to dialogues and skits in European Portuguese at your level. When I went to Portugal, my husband was blown away at how well I was able to communicate after only 6 months of study. I was able to talk to our taxi driver who didn’t speak English, help my husband read menus that didn’t have English, order food for us, and even got us out of a tough spot when we couldn’t figure out which train to get on! You can jump around units and study different topics you think may be useful. I loved this app and recommend it to anyone trying to learn Portuguese.
European Portuguese! Great!
I rarely write review, but it is important to review this app. As a learner of Portuguese, I have scoured for resources. First, let me say that regardless of European/Continental Portuguese (Portugal, Mozambique, Cape Verda) vs Brazilian variation, but this is a great learning platform. Many apps and resources do no combine content, enjoyment, and learn-ability well. Duolingo does this, but it is Brazilian, and you will have to pay to really put time into learning if you want more than 5 hearts (mistakes allowed). Practice Portuguese also has tons of authentic audio, both pronunciations and conversations, not computer voices. So when examined from a Portuguese lens, it has to be a top 5 resource. For Euro/Continental Portuguese, it is the number one resource in my opinion. I married into a family that originated from Portugal, and have examined Portuguese resources for the last 10 years. Practice Portuguese is the number one resource for those trying to learn the original variation of Portuguese.
