Learn a language by talking (or texting) with realistic characters in realistic scenarios. Textbook dialogs are boring and artificial. Have your own dialogs about the situations and topics you care about. If you make mistakes, or need to use English words, don't worry! Your conversation partner can understand and keep the conversation moving. If you don’t understand something, translations, transliterations, and in-context explanations are only a tap away. After a conversation, get an in-depth review of how you did, with suggested improvements and ideas of where to take future conversations. You can even "snap a photo" to help you remember the conversation in the future. Supports 20 languages: Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese Terms of Use: https://uptalkapp.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://uptalkapp.com/privacy

Learn Brazilian Portuguese the way your brain actually learns language — with real phrases, not isolated words. BossaFlow uses chunk-based learning, a science-backed method that teaches you complete phrases and expressions instead of individual vocabulary. Research shows this is how native speakers actually process language — they recall pre-made "chunks" rather than building sentences word by word. WHAT YOU GET • 1,000 authentic Brazilian Portuguese phrases • 20 real-life categories (Greetings, Food & Restaurants, Travel, Shopping, Brazilian Slang, and more) • Audio pronunciation for every phrase • Quiz mode to test your knowledge • Progress tracking and streaks • Works offline — learn anywhere WHY CHUNKS WORK Traditional apps teach you words. BossaFlow teaches you phrases Brazilians actually use every day. When you learn "Tudo bem?" instead of separate words for "everything" and "good," you're learning grammar, vocabulary, and natural word order all at once. 20 CATEGORIES FOR REAL LIFE • Greetings & Introductions • Food & Restaurants • Travel & Directions • Shopping & Money • Brazilian Slang • Common Idioms • Social Situations • At Home & Family • Work & Business • Health & Emergencies • Plus 10 more categories FREE VS PREMIUM Free: 4 categories, 200 phrases, 10 phrases/day, 3 quiz attempts/day Premium: All 20 categories, all 1,000 phrases, unlimited access, progress tracking, favorites, dark mode, ad-free Start speaking Brazilian Portuguese today — not textbook Portuguese, but the real language spoken by 210 million Brazilians. --- Subscriptions: • Premium Monthly: $2.99/month • Premium Yearly: $19.99/year (save 44%) Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
