Complemented on my accent

Name: Colleen

Not only Halve I found it super helpful, but I have been complemented on my accent 😉 and I have you all to think for it.

I understand so much

Name: Alexandra

For Christmas I made a list for everything I am thankful this year. And your App is a huuuuuge point on that list. I came here to study and was afraid because every single lecture is in Portuguese. I started studying 3 months before I came here. And even though speaking is very hard, I understand so much and it helped a lot with my anxiety

The best integrated solution I’ve found to learning this language

Name: Lisa

The site and coursework is very well designed. It includes vocabulary, lessons, listening, repetition, and pronunciation which is the best integrated solution I’ve found to learning this language. And the explanations are really helpful…the language is complex and good to know how to navigate it better.

Simple and practical

I have finally found a great site for learning European Portuguese. The lay out is great and I know if I had found you earlier, I would be speaking Portuguese by now. The lessons are very simple and practical. I love all the different voices saying the same words. A great product!!

The best I’ve come across

Name: Michelle

This is a great site. I have been learning Portuguese for a number of years. When they first started out they were definitely for intermediate European Portuguese learners. However since then they have grown incredibly. I’d say that anyone even if they had never learned one single word of Portuguese could easily become an intermediate or upper intermediate speaker using this platform they are growing every day. The lessons are fun engaging interesting and from time to time make me laugh out loud. Thanks guys for making such an awesome resource. European Portuguese resources are few and far between and I’d say that this is the best I’ve come across.

Very good way to learn written and spoken Portuguese with friendly approach and accessible dialogues, videos and language details for all levels, from beginners to advanced.

Thanks to PP I am improving

Name: Mac

Excellent course if you want to learn Portuguese Portuguese. Not only that but it is structured to help learning in context and with words that are useful in everyday life.
There is a very quick and helpful response to queries with good advice.

In my experience this is much better value than any of the free sites I have seen. I used Duo every day, yes everyday, for a couple of years but found it poor not only in the vocab which it sought to teach but in the appalling lack of response to glaring errors some of which have gone unchanged for up to five years.

There is no doubt that Duo gave me a grounding in Brazilian Portuguese but I can say with honesty that I feel I have leaned more with PP in the last six weeks than I ever imagined I would have.

Portuguese is a fiendishly difficult language to learn particularly when spoken. It is a tough ask and needs daily work but thanks to PP I am improving.

Go on. Go for it and earn the respect of the Portuguese for trying their language and for being so forgiving and helpful when you get it wrong. For me it brings a new dimension to my holidays in Portugal..
