Portugal is compact and fully Portuguese-speaking. Brazil is a continent's worth of the same language with a different soundtrack. Angola and Mozambique matter if your work or family goes there.
Португальська від Olá до повсякденних фраз, зі сходинками CEFR і озвученими словами.
Portuguese is official in Portugal and Brazil, then in Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, São Tomé and Príncipe, and East Timor. Macau keeps it as an official language next to Chinese. Brazil holds the overwhelming majority of speakers. European and Brazilian Portuguese share writing more than they share rhythm: Brazilian você and open vowels will not match Lisbon speech. The app uses European Portuguese. You will still be understood in Rio; you will sound like you learned it in Portugal.
Portugal is compact and fully Portuguese-speaking. Brazil is a continent's worth of the same language with a different soundtrack. Angola and Mozambique matter if your work or family goes there.
Brazilian market, Portuguese EU firms, and Lusophone Africa. Energy, agriculture, and tourism ads still ask for the language.
Music from fado to MPB, football, and a literature that does not all pass through English first.
Hear Portugal and Brazil as two rooms of the same house. One week in Lisbon and one in Rio will explain the audio choice better than a paragraph.
Lisbon
Portugal
Hills, trams, European Portuguese. This is close to what the app reads aloud.
Porto
Portugal
Northern Portugal. Slightly different music in the voice; same written language.
Rio de Janeiro
Brazil
Carioca Portuguese. Você, open vowels, a beach city that still runs on Portuguese, not English.
São Paulo
Brazil
The work city. Office Portuguese, huge internal migration, less postcard and more errands.
Salvador
Brazil
Northeast. Afro-Brazilian culture and a Portuguese that is not São Paulo's.
Luanda
Angola
Portuguese as the city language after decades of official use. Not a tourist default.
Maputo
Mozambique
Portuguese in government and school. Neighbouring languages sit beside it.
Coimbra
Portugal
University town. A quieter European Portuguese than Lisbon.
Audio is pt-PT. Brazilian Portuguese is mutually understandable in writing and, with an ear, in speech. The course does not split Brazil and Portugal into two products. If you are going to Brazil, expect você and a different melody from day one.
