PapaGaio Portugal

PapaGaio teaches the Portuguese actually spoken in Portugal. Nearly every Portuguese course on the store teaches the Brazilian variety. If you live in Lisbon, Porto or Madeira, that leaves you saying things no one around you says. PapaGaio is built the other way round: European Portuguese first, with Brazilian differences shown when they matter rather than quietly substituted. AI COACH Rehearse real situations — the café, the bank, the doctor, AIMA, the landlord — with a coach that plays the other side. Type or speak your line; the coach answers, translates its own line, and rewrites yours the way someone in Portugal would say it. Brazilian habits are corrected kindly: você, me ajudar, estou fazendo, ônibus. Three paces, from slow and simple to street speed, and a recap of your mistakes at the end. CARDS Spaced repetition with FSRS, the scheduler that adapts to how you actually answer instead of doubling a fixed interval. Four multiple-choice options, or flip the card Anki-style and grade yourself on all four levels. Already speak some? Start at A2, B1 or B2 and skip what you know. TRANSLATE Type a phrase and get it back in European Portuguese, with corrections explained — not just the fixed sentence but the reason it was wrong. Where Portugal and Brazil genuinely differ, both are shown and labelled. Anything you translate can be added to your deck in one tap. DICTIONARY A 110,000-entry dictionary of European Portuguese inside the app, working with no connection at all. Type without accents (cao finds cão), in English or in Russian. A verb form leads to its verb — fui to ir, tenho to ter — and a plural to its singular. The 20,000 most used words give plain translations first: casa, house, home. VERBS Full conjugation tables for every tense a learner meets, irregulars included, each with a timeline that shows where the action sits. LISTEN Every word and every line can be heard. When the server's voice is out of reach — on a plane, on a levada — your phone's own Portuguese voice reads it instead. PROGRESS Unit bars, your review load for the days ahead, and readiness for the CIPLE exam. No streaks, no guilt mechanics, nothing that punishes a day off. OFFLINE The dictionary, your deck and its audio stay on the device. Answers given without signal queue up and replay in order when the network returns. REMINDERS Local notifications scheduled on the device itself. No push servers, nothing to sign up for. NO ACCOUNT Tap once and your deck exists. No email, no password, no social sign-in. If you also use the PapaGaio Telegram bot, you can pair the two and carry one deck across both — an option, never a requirement. PapaGaio is free and carries no advertising and no analytics or tracking SDKs. Your deck lives in an anonymous account you can delete from Settings at any time.
