Gringo Cria

GringoCria helps you train Portuguese you'll actually hear in Brazil. The kind the mate vendor uses when he's already three customers ahead of you. Most apps cover conjugation. This one covers what happens when you wave down a beach vendor and he answers in slang you've never heard, at a speed that makes no concessions to tourists. Before each conversation, you get a short intro with the context that actually matters, that vendors often charge foreigners more, that the Delegacia do Turista has English speakers on staff, that you can negotiate. Then you pick your responses and see how the dialogue branches. You can toggle Portuguese/English translations on or off. Tap any line to hear how it sounds. Available now: Beach - mate, biscoito globo, caipirinha, esfiha, beach chairs and umbrella, kiosk menu, street vendors Safety - talking to police after a robbery, asking for directions to the police station AI chat is in the works. Free-form conversation with an AI vendor, no fixed script, through Apple Intelligence on eligible devices. The app was built by Brazilians, which is why the slang actually sounds right.
