Eu realmente aprecio a maneira como você ensina-nos a falar português. Torna-se tão fácil aprender os sons diferentes e no fluxo da linguagem – de ouvir os outros e obter conselhos sobre o que pode ser melhorado. Estou tão feliz por ter encontrado o Practice Portuguese. Desejo a todos tudo de bom. Obrigada.

Thank you for Practice Portuguese, which has been growing so well since I joined 5 years ago. This is really helping me to progress and is contributing to mature my project to relocate to Portugal in a not distant future!
Your program fills in the gaps

I’ve been using the Portuguese courses in Memrise…However your program seems to fill in a lot of the gaps that they seem to miss. I especially like the rigorous, detailed course design including the speaking lessons (Telling me what the machine is hearing when I’m wrong is a great touch.)

I wanted to congratulate you for your website. I am very good with languages, I learned Italian myself without a language school but I was having huge difficulties with Portuguese even though it’s a Latin language. With your method I finally started to improve and it’s much less painful!

I just wanted to say how great I think your learning studio is – my husband and I have been trying to find good European Portuguese resources for ages and I’m sad we didn’t stumble across you earlier!

I just wanted to take a quick minute to say how thankful I am of you guys for creating and operating this site as an amazing resource to learn Portuguese. I have been struggling trying to find the proper resources for learning European Portuguese, as the majority is Brazilian Portuguese. I hope to be able to hold a conversation in Portuguese with my grandparents soon thanks to you guys. I’m so excited to continue learning from here. Blessings to you both!

Just joined Practice Portuguese and, though I speak some Portuguese, thought I’d start from the beginning. Surprised to learn things I didn’t know even in the first two lessons, which is great.
It is important to me to speak the language where I live

I have been working with Duolingo to learn Portuguese for the last 3 years but was very aware that it was very Brazilian but could not find anything else with the same amount of learning capacity – until of course I found Practice Portuguese. As we live most of our time in the Algarve now I really wanted to get the pronunciation correct…there are so many differences between European and Brazilian Portuguese and it is important for me to speak the language where I live. It is absolutely brilliant and I love working on it – so keep up the good work.

Explaining the intricacies of European Portuguese pronunciation

These podcasts where you critique pronunciation are great! And more than any other teaching source online, I think you guys do the best job of explaining the intricacies of European Portuguese pronunciation. For a beginner like me, this is extremely important, because as a trained interpreter and a comparative linguist, my ears pick up on things, but you guys really explain the how’s and why’s.
Exceptional feature

I have tried various language courses (for other languages) like Duolingo, Rosetta Stone, FluentU etc. but what I love most about your course so far is being able to hear my recording and compare to the speaker. It really helps with my intonation. Exceptional feature.
None come close

I hear versions Spanish and Portuguese, from around the world, spoken all day. Over the last few years I have studied Spanish from Latin America. My communication is good until I encounter someone from Argentina or Spain. Then suddenly I no longer speak Spanish. Portuguese has been a bit easier to pick up, it is a big help that many of the verbs and the conjugations are the similar to Spanish. That said, your program is excellent. I tried many different learning methods while studying Spanish, and none come close to giving me to the value I have received from your program.

I just wanted to say that I have just noticed the Smart Review facility. It’s a great idea! Just to go back and refresh what’s gone before in a series of 15 or so questions is pure genius. Well done on another invaluable addition to the program.

The more I progress in your course the more I love it. I like a lot the new addition Smart Review. I understand why the repetition is used and it definitely works and is necessary to learn the material. Thank you for everything, I am learning so much, your course is amazing.

The way you add new words in a subtle way not only helps build my vocabulary but also helps me understand the rules of grammar with ease. Rather than imposing, you help us learn through observation and that is brilliant! muito obrigada!!!
You know what a Portuguese language learner needs

I have been learning Portuguese for several months now using different apps and even a tutor who is a native Portuguese but I am truly fascinated with your learning studio. You know what a Portuguese language learner needs and you just provide it – different pronunciation speed, clear and simple grammar explanation, audio recordings of different native speakers and I absolutely love the videos with Joel’s hilarious experiences in Portugal. I signed up in your platform just a few day ago and I enjoy spending as much time as I can in it. Thank you for this remarkable learning experience.
Just what I was looking for

This is just what I was looking for. After a year learning with Duolingo I had quite a lot of grammar and vocabulary, but was quite unable to understand the language in Portugal, or to be understood. I think your website is very professional as well as being user-friendly
