## What is European Portuguese Reference?

Master European Portuguese with a pocket-sized reference and drill companion built for serious learners. Whether you're building fluency for life in Portugal or just love the language, European Portuguese Reference keeps the rules at your fingertips and the drills sharp. We built this app for ourselves because everything else out there seems to teach Brazillian Portuguese; but for those of us living in Portugal, that's not ideal!

Look up conjugation tables for any verb — present, preterite, imperfect, future, conditional, subjunctive, and imperative, plus the personal infinitive — generated on the fly from a complete rule engine that handles all three verb classes, stem changes, and irregular verbs. Browse gender and agreement rules, clitic pronoun placement, preposition contractions, and the constructs that trip up English speakers, all in one place. Contribute to curated vocabulary sections, review and learn with flash cards, learn pronunciation with built-in text-to-speech, and use a built-in dictionary to discover new words you want to learn.

Test yourself with multiple-choice grammar drills targeted to specific verb classes, agreement, and more. A dedicated vocabulary drill randomly asks you to translate Portuguese → English or English → Portuguese. The app tracks which questions you get wrong and prioritises them in future sessions. Your custom vocabulary words, flashcard ratings, and drill history sync automatically across all your Apple devices via iCloud.

### 5/5 — Best app by far

*2026-08-22*

…that we have found.  Great for vocab and grammar. Many ways to learn and self-assess.

### 5/5 — Excelente aplicação

*2026-08-19*

I’m not an absolute neophyte but this app is simple and intuitive. Spaced repetition and focus on weak skills drill down on basic vocabulary and mechanics of the language that most learning apps tend to gloss over in favor of “fun” aka user engagement. 
Still early in the process but thus far I’m happy with this.

### 5/5 — Best Euro Portuguese app!

*2026-08-08*

This app includes everything you need to practice and learn European Portuguese. Listening, reading, writing, vocab, and grammar. I’m so appreciative I found it!

### 5/5 — Very well done, extremely useful learning aid!

*2026-08-04*

I used this to help study for my A2 exam.   The app is extremely well done and has helped me a lot!   Highly recommended for PT-PT students.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.6.1 — 2026-08-21

Learn now introduces each tense with its regular forms before adding its irregular forms and later tenses.

When you complete the grammar included in your chosen level, Learn offers the next level and keeps all of your existing vocabulary.

The imperative is now taught and drilled in Learn, right after the present subjunctive it is built from.

On Mac, switching to Translate Text no longer changes the size of the app window.

### 2.6.0 — 2026-08-15

Grammar now explains why a form is what it is, rather than only showing you the form, and the verb-form matrix is written out cell by cell in teaching order with a rule for each one.

The app opens somewhere useful for a new learner, every tab and window keeps its own place, and lists sort the way Portuguese sorts.

A large conjugation accuracy pass: vowel-stem verbs, e-raising verbs and the -uzir family now conjugate by rule, compounds of pôr get a full paradigm, and chegue and fique are spelled properly. Ninety-five verbs now match the reference, and around a hundred and twenty words were re-tagged to the right part of speech.

Faster start-up, and faster answers in a Daily Lesson.

### 2.5.1 — 2026-08-03

Learn now varies the kind of exercise through a lesson, rather than asking the same kind of question several times in a row.

Grammar in Learn takes one verb form at a time and shows you the rule for that form before the drill.

Fixed a daily lesson that could get stuck with nothing to tap when there were too few words left to build a multiple-choice question.

Choosing a voice now tells you that Portuguese appears twice in the system voice list, so you can pick the European voice rather than the Brazilian one.

### 2.5.0 — 2026-07-29

This release adds Translate Text, a new tool in the Reference menu. Type or paste English or Portuguese into either pane, and translate it the other way with a single tap, for anything the dictionary doesn't cover. You'll also get a heads-up right inside the app whenever a newer version is available on the App Store, with a button to update in a single tap.

### 2.4.0 — 2026-07-22

Learn is our new daily study companion. Each day it builds a short lesson of new vocabulary and grammar, blended with review, sized to a pace you pick, with an optional daily reminder to keep your streak going.

Lookup brings the dictionary and the conjugator together. Search any word or verb and you get one complete entry: its meaning, its word family, real example sentences, and, for verbs, the full conjugation table, all on one screen.

Share a word or phrase with anyone as a link.

Reflexive and pronominal verbs are now fully supported: they conjugate with the right pronoun for each person, with a Grammar topic explaining how they work and a practice drill of their own.

Also in this release:

A one-time age check reveals potentially vulgar or offensive definitions for anyone 16 or older.

Open an inflected or agreement form and it now tells you which word it is a form of, with that base word one tap away, instead of repeating the base word's full definition.

Searching a word that is not a verb in Lookup now points you to its dictionary entry, instead of building a conjugation for a word that has none.

However you reach a word, from your vocabulary or by tapping it inside another entry, you now get the same complete entry as the dictionary.

The steps for installing a better Portuguese voice now point to the current Read and Speak location in Settings, and the region name shows correctly.
