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.”

I wanted to see what the activities were like before subscribing because $20 a month is a lot, but all it will let me do is read an article on how to get started..
In response to the developer: saying “most features require a paid subscription” actually isn’t that clear. “Most” implies that there will be something unpaid in order to trial before buying. It’s disappointing because I might actually have gotten the subscription if I could have some semblance of what I would be paying for.

Response from developer
We say very clearly in the description that this is a paid subscription because we like to pay our staff without relying on selling user data.
