Polygloss
Read full descriptionHide full description
Polygloss helps you to learn a language outside the classroom by turning your world into a textbook. Users can point their camera at objects or places and the app will translate it into the desired language. For example, point your camera at your laptop, and the app will tell you how to say it in French (l'ordinateur portable)! Save these translations to build your own personalised glossary of language cards. The app currently supports translations from English to French, Spanish, Italian, German and Portuguese.
Portuguese Flashcards

Build your Portuguese fast with a deep deck of flashcards covering the grammar structures and real-world phrases that matter most. Study Portuguese the way it is actually used: ser vs estar vs ficar, personal infinitive, subjunctive mood, future and conditional tenses, contractions (no, na, do, da, ao), clitic pronouns, and European vs Brazilian variants — paired with practical phrase decks for pastelarias and cafés, train and metro travel, shopping, formal (você) vs informal (tu), and everyday life in Portugal. Every card pairs natural Portuguese with a clear English translation, a definition, and an example so you learn words in context, not in isolation. Swipe through grammar and phrase categories, tap to hear pronunciation, and review at your own pace. A focused, no-fluff companion for beginners and intermediate learners who want to grow their Portuguese vocabulary and grammar one card at a time.
