## What is Diz lá!?

The Chinese-Portuguese-English Machine Translation Laboratory (CPELab) of Macao Polytechnic University (MPU) developed Diz lá!, a language learning application especially aimed at Chinese language speakers who want to learn Portuguese anytime, anywhere, and at their own pace.

These are the app’s main features:

1. Word of the day: Learn a new Portuguese language word every day! The choice of words is especially conceived for learners who already have an intermediate level of Portuguese and wish to enrich their vocabulary. Each word is accompanied by its definition, a sample sentence, and a picture that helps to convey its meaning, as well as a recording allowing users to listen to its correct pronunciation. Users can also activate the Chinese translation (simplified or traditional).



2. Conjugator: This function is useful for Portuguese language learners of any level and native speakers alike. It allows users to know the conjugated form of over 15,000 Portuguese verbs in all tenses and modes. In addition, it’s also possible to listen to the pronunciation of every single conjugated verb for the 400 most frequently used Portuguese verbs (recordings made by native speakers).



3. Vocabulary: Users can access over 500 essential Portuguese words divided into theme groups. Each word is accompanied by a picture that helps to convey its meaning, as well as a recording allowing users to listen to the correct pronunciation. Users can also activate the Chinese translation (simplified or traditional).



4. Communication: Users will find over 1,000 useful phrases and sentences in numerous real-life situations. The phrases are thematically grouped, and users can listen to the sentences read by native Portuguese speakers. It is also possible to compare the sentences with the Chinese translation (simplified or traditional).



5. Video: Users can view a series of videos on the culture of Portuguese-speaking countries especially produced by Macao Polytechnic University’s language specialists’ team. In this section, you can learn some little-known facts about the Portuguese language and the people that speak it. You can also enjoy Portuguese countries’ poetry and the power of their cultural traditions.

不能发音，希望開發者能尽快處理一下

### 3/5 — 有待改進

*2018-04-12*

繼Priberam無法使用後，找到這樣一個替代還是很不錯的。不過有幾個建議：1、可否將所有動詞形態全部展示在一個介面？2、能否改進並且提供由不同的變形查找動詞原型的查詢？3、每次輸入單詞後，輸入鍵盤無法收起，導致屏幕中看不見部分候選詞，無法選擇。4、無法精確查閱輸入dar時，顯示的並非dar，甚至還包括很多以dar結尾的詞彙，這顯然造成了很大的使用不便利。

暫時只發現這些問題，希望開發者能夠認真改進，畢竟中文界面的動詞時態查詢字典不多。希望能夠多多借鑑Priberam Dicionário ，他們真的做得不錯，如果不是因為他們的應用沒有及時更新無法適用新的iOS 系統，還是很不錯的選擇。

### 1/5 — 發聲功能不能用

*2018-02-13, version 2.3*

按了生字或句子旁的喇叭，完全沒有任何反應
