Practice Portuguese

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!

** WHAT MEMBERS ARE SAYING **

“Hands-down, this is THE ultimate site for learning European Portuguese... The two creators create the perfect blend between the pronunciation and grammar of a native, Rui, and the perspective, empathy, and sponge-of-mind of a foreigner, Joel.”

• Emily Reynolds

“Friendly, bite-sized lessons that make it easy to practice every day. It has been amazing to track my progress and realize I understand more and can even communicate a bit after just a few months of 15 minutes a day.”

• Sophia Bogle

“If you want to learn European Portuguese, this is the site to use. I have been an educator for 27 years, and am not easily impressed by educational software. Yet I am so impressed by the care, thought, and planning behind this site. The team at Practice Portuguese has made learning a new language an absolute joy.”
