Why European Portuguese?

Portugal sounds different.
This app teaches you that.

Most Portuguese apps teach Brazilian Portuguese — perfectly fine if you're heading to São Paulo. But if you're visiting Lisbon, Porto or the Algarve, you need European Portuguese. The accent is different, the vocabulary is different, and even the grammar has its own character.

· · · ✦ · · ·

Every word, tip and example in this app reflects how Portuguese is actually spoken in Portugal — from ordering a bica in a Lisbon café to catching the comboio to Porto. No Brazilian spellings, no Brazilian idioms. Just the real thing.

Common questions

FAQ

Is this really European Portuguese, not Brazilian?
Yes — genuinely. Every word, example and grammar tip reflects how Portuguese is spoken in Portugal. You'll find "comboio" not "trem", "telemóvel" not "celular", "perceber" not "entender", and notes throughout explaining exactly what makes EP different from Brazilian.
How does it work after I buy?
You download a single HTML file from Gumroad. Open it in any browser — Safari, Chrome, Firefox — and it runs entirely offline. No app store, no account, no internet needed after download. Your progress saves automatically in your browser.
Will my progress be saved if I close the browser?
Yes. Progress is saved to your browser's local storage automatically. It persists between sessions. You can also use the backup feature to download a save file — useful if you switch devices or browsers.
Does it work on iPhone and iPad?
Yes — it's built specifically to work on Safari for iOS. The speech features use the Web Speech API, which is well supported on modern Apple devices.
I'm a complete beginner. Is this suitable for me?
Absolutely. The Daily 10 mode is designed for beginners — it introduces 10 new words a day with clear examples and grammar tips. You can go at your own pace.
