The best European Portuguese learning site
I love your site. It is without doubt the best European Portuguese learning site I have found over the last 10 years that I have been struggling to learn the language... It allows me to go at my own pace and go back when it's useful.
– Graham D. (Portugal)
Brought smiles to their faces
I used your website to learn a little Portuguese before traveling to Madeira, Portimão, & Lisboa. What I learned gave me the courage to say at least a few words in Portuguese, which brought smiles to the faces of the people I spoke to. I'm so glad I found your website... many thanks for all the effort and ingenuity you've put into Practice Portuguese.

Invaluable
Thanks for the amazing work on the learning studio. I'm doing A1/A2 at the moment and the ability to hear and read well enunciated European Portuguese is invaluable. I use the speech to text on my iPad keyboard to fill in the written answers where possible which I think is improving my own pronunciation.

Verb modules are excellent
Recently I have been concentrating on my verbs - because I really needed to do that. I find your verb modules excellent. I like the fact that I have to recognise a verb only from the sound. That has helped me a lot.

PRACTICE
with Audio transcripts, Video subtitles e muito maisand much more…
Many learners can lerread Portuguese, but when a native actually speaks to them, they freeze up when they can't entenderunderstand anything that's being said!
With an archive of over 200audio and video episodes, learn how the language is actually used in day-to-day conversaconversation.
These mini-dialogues are very helpful, especially for those of us who have not had much practice in listening to spoken Portuguese and trying to comprehend what is said! I very much look forward to them!
Our flagship audio program that started it all!
Wide range of levels, topics and show formats.
Visibly stunned
I started using your podcast when I was 22 and I'm 27 now, so it's been a massive part of my learning process. I actually got a chance to go to Portugal and was pleasantly surprised by how well I could communicate with the people there. I had to use it much more than I had anticipated, and in some of the towns we went to it was an absolute necessity. People were visibly stunned when I told them I was American and asked me how on earth I had gone about learning Portuguese.
– Jonathan K. (North Carolina, U.S.A.)
Videos
Features animated episodes, as well as candid footage of Portuguese natives in their natural habitat!
Absolutely essential
This material may be challenging, but it is ABSOLUTELY essential for beginners… [I have] been focusing on hearing/distinguishing the sounds, and I feel confident that practicing this will make it much, much easier to hear – and THEN understand – native speech.

So impressed
I was searching high and low for somewhere to learn European Portuguese but options were somewhat limited. I was so impressed with your learning lab and how fun you make your videos that I had to sign up and try this.
– Kris C. (Florida, U.S.A.)
Extensive yet so simple
I think Practice Portuguese is amazing, it is so rich in content and extensive yet so simple to use with the easy units leading up to more complex stuff. I've only just started and am really impressed.
We respect your freedom: An important part of our growth has been from word-of-mouth recommendation. We know that your plans and needs may change, so we make it easy for you to pause or cancel your subscription.
Not only is it the right thing to do, but we also know that you'll be more likely to return later or even recommend us to your friends, if we can make the cancelation process go smoothly.
There's no minimum subscription period, and no tricks.
Here's 2 easy methods to cancel your subscription:

If you're not satisfied for any reason, just reach out to us through any channel (email, contact form, our Facebook page) etc., and we'll refund your payment.
No tricks, no shenanigans.
If we made cancelation or refund difficult, it would affect our reputation with the learning community (as well as our payment providers), and that would be detrimental to our business.
We know that many members who cancel or request a refund will return later, and continue to help us spread the word.
It's not just the right thing to do – it's in our best interest to treat cancelations and refunds with the same care as the rest of our business.
(If there's a way we can serve you better in the future, we'd love to hear your constructive feedback!)

You'll also find a wide range of audio and video episodes inside the "Learn" section (with transcripts and other Premium features), that span all levels, right up to C1/C2.
Beginners: You can start right on the first Learning Studio Unit to start right from the beginning, then work your way through at least the first few Units in order.
Everyone else: In addition to exploring the Learning Studio Units, you should also start adding audio and video from the "Practice" section to your study routine as early as you can, to get your ears tuned to the sound of the language. (It's OK if you don't understand everything at first – immersion is the goal!)

🇵🇹 Rui Coimbra
As you may have guessed, I'm the native Portuguese co-founder!
I've always been fascinated by how I can help estrangeirosforeigners navigate the challenges of European Portuguese.
Learning the language is the best way to understand a culture, and I'm excited to share with you a piece of Portugal 🙂
🇨🇦 Joel Rendall
Proudly born and raised in Ontario, Canada, I moved to Lisbon in September 2012. I quickly realized how difficult it was to find study materials that weren't Brazilian Portuguese, so with some technical skills and first-hand experience learning the language, I quickly found a passion for helping to fill this void. European Portuguese is a beautiful language that deserves to be made easily accessible to learners worldwide, and it's been a privilege to be able to serve this wonderful community.
