Learn a European language the way it’s actually spoken — European Portuguese, Castilian Spanish, French, German, and Italian. And if English is what you’re after, Estudo teaches that too, in British or American. Estudo skips the fluff. No sprawling menus, no account, no ads. Just smart flashcards, native audio, and clear grammar that fit into a coffee break. NOW IN YOUR LANGUAGE You no longer need English to use Estudo. Every card and every grammar guide is available in Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, and Italian — so a Spanish speaker learning Portuguese reads Spanish, not English. The app picks your language from your phone automatically, and you can change it any time. SIX LANGUAGES, ONE APP Pick your language and start today: • Portuguese — authentic European Portuguese from Portugal, not Brazilian • Spanish — Castilian Spanish as spoken in Spain • French, German & Italian — the real, everyday versions • English — British or American, for speakers of any of the above Each language comes with 12 themed decks and 950+ curated cards from beginner to elementary (A1–A2): greetings, numbers, time, family, food, colours, around town, at home, essential verbs, everyday words, and two full decks on the past tense — plus focused grammar guides in your own language. TALK ABOUT YESTERDAY, NOT JUST TODAY Most beginner apps stop at the present tense, which leaves you unable to say what you did this morning. Estudo covers both past tenses head-on — 285 cards per language on the perfect and the imperfect, taught in contrast so you learn not just the forms but which one to reach for. SMART FLASHCARDS THAT ACTUALLY WORK • Estudo uses FSRS, a state-of-the-art spaced-repetition algorithm, to show you each card right when you’re about to forget it. You spend your time on the words you struggle with — not the ones you already know. • Native-quality audio on every card to master pronunciation from day one • Typing practice mode to nail spelling, not just recognition • Clear, bite-size grammar covering the essentials for each language • Create your own cards with automatic audio for any word you pick up WHY ESTUDO? The big apps blur regional differences — teaching Brazilian instead of European Portuguese, or Latin American instead of Castilian Spanish. Estudo was built from the ground up around authentic European variants, so what you learn is what you’ll actually hear in Lisbon, Madrid, Paris, Berlin, and Rome. The grammar goes where the others don’t, too: European Portuguese learners get the future subjunctive and the personal infinitive — two forms with no English equivalent that almost no beginner app touches. BUILT FOR A DAILY HABIT • Sessions that fit into a few spare minutes • Daily reminders on your schedule • Streaks and progress tracking to keep you motivated • Your cards and progress live on your device, and audio caches after the first play — so reviewing on a plane or the underground just works SIMPLE AND PRIVATE No account. No sign-up. No ads interrupting your review. Download and start learning in seconds — your progress stays on your device. Start speaking a new language with confidence. Download Estudo and do your first review today.
