Learn to speak Brazilian Portuguese with a personal AI tutor

1. Download Praktika from the App Store or Google Play.
2. Take the two-minute setup quiz: your native language, Portuguese (Brazil), your goal and current level.
3. Pick a tutor and start your first conversation in Portuguese.

Pick Portuguese (Brazil) in the quiz so your tutor uses Brazilian pronunciation and everyday words. You can change your goal, level or tutor later in Settings.

Yes. Complete beginners get explanations in English from the first lesson, and every lesson is a conversation in the Portuguese people speak in Brazil.

As your level grows, your tutor uses more Portuguese. The setup quiz places you between A1 and C2, so your plan starts where you are.

Brazilian Portuguese is one of the easier languages for English speakers. Plenty of words look familiar, like hospital or informação. The US Foreign Service Institute puts Portuguese in its easiest group, at about 24 to 30 weeks of full-time study.

The tricky parts are nasal sounds like pão and mãe, and the gap between textbook forms and everyday speech, like tô for estou. With Praktika you practice both out loud and get corrected in the moment, which is how they start to stick.

It depends on how often you practice. On average, 73% of active learners gain a full CEFR level in about 20 hours of practice, and your own pace may differ.

Frequent short sessions work better than occasional long ones. If you want to talk with your partner's family sooner, aim for 10 to 15 minutes most days on your commute or lunch break.

Private tutors are a common way to learn Brazilian Portuguese online, at $50 to $120 an hour plus scheduling. Praktika Premium costs around $8 a month, with prices set per market.

Some learners use both. Praktika covers the daily speaking practice between lessons, and you can make mistakes without anyone watching.

ChatGPT can hold a conversation in Portuguese, but it doesn't follow a study plan for your level or score your pronunciation as you speak.

Praktika gives you a tutor who remembers past sessions, follows your study plan and explains mistakes in English, using Brazilian forms like você.

Many apps teach recognition through matching pairs and tapping answers. Praktika is built for speaking, so every lesson is a conversation you have out loud.

That matters if you can read Portuguese but still freeze when someone talks to you at normal speed. Short daily sessions also make it easier to stay consistent.

Yes. Praktika for Business gives teams the same app with all 14 languages in one license, plus a dashboard that tracks progress by CEFR level.
