Meet your tutors: six new animated characters, each with their own voice. Sofia no longer stops unexpectedly if you leave the app mid-conversation, and if another app or a call is using your microphone she now tells you plainly instead of showing an error. Faster, more reliable audio and account connections behind the scenes.

Stability and diagnostics improvements so we can find and fix problems faster.

Profile now shows the date you actually joined and one clear count of the words you've learned. The street scene on Home now reaches all the way to the top of the screen.

Fixes a crash when opening the feedback sheet. Your place on the Lessons path is now always the stop after the last one you finished, and earlier stops stay ticked. Shake-to-report is gone; feedback lives in Profile and Help. Every screen now shares one design language.

Start speaking Portuguese sooner. - A shorter introduction takes you straight into your first guided lesson. - New neighbourhood illustrations and clearer lesson progress help you see what to do next. - Choose English, French or German for interface text and learning support. - Improved subscription explanations, lesson continuation and audio feedback. European Portuguese, one useful conversation at a time.

New learners now see Pro first after onboarding, making the lower-cost daily learning plan easier to choose. Max remains available for learners who want more speaking practice.

Bonjour ! The interface is now fully French - signup, onboarding, your study plan, practice and the paywall. Lessons keep teaching European Portuguese, naturally.

Your first lesson is now a focused three-minute session that teaches a handful of words properly instead of racing through many; the rest of that material became the next stop on your journey. Sofia's replies now arrive with their English underneath, with no waiting. A cleaner Chat screen. Aprender also has a US English and a Portuguese App Store page. Plus small fixes and stability improvements.

Lessons now end with a short dialogue where you use the words you just learned. Recall steps ask you to type the word before you see it, and words you are starting to forget come back inside later lessons. Home tells you when words are fading and offers a two-minute review. A wrong quiz answer shows the grammar rule behind it. Word audio plays automatically on reading cards, with a switch in Profile to turn it off. The Lessons tab always brings your current lesson into view. Your first lesson runs inside onboarding, so you are learning within a minute of opening the app. Fewer prompts, never two stacked on top of each other, and speaking exercises let you try again.

Sofia now hears you more clearly and sounds fuller on the speaker. Voice mode no longer plays your microphone back at you. You can pick which microphone to use, see a live waveform, and get a warning if the connection is unstable. Teaching cards from a voice session stay in the chat. The lesson path now stays on the earliest unfinished stop - you finish a level before the next one unlocks.

Aprender now has a warmer Bairro redesign across Home, lessons, practice, Sofia and Profile. This update also improves subscription choices, defaults to monthly pricing, fixes daily skip limits, keeps practice to words you have learned, and makes explanations clearer.

Voice conversations with Sofia are fixed. • She hears you properly. Voice sessions were connecting but not picking up normal speech, so Sofia would sit there without replying. • She comes out of the loudspeaker instead of the earpiece, so you no longer have to hold the phone to your ear. • Clearer pickup, with echo cancellation and noise handling on the microphone. • Your remaining voice minutes now show on the Sofia screen before you start a session, not only once the timer is running. • A tidier session review at the end of each conversation.
