Most AI language apps only teach English or Spanish. Praktika teaches Portuguese (Portugal) and 13 other languages.





PraktikaPick Portuguese (Portugal) in the quiz so your tutor uses European pronunciation and forms like tu. You can change your goal, level or tutor later in Settings.
Yes. Complete beginners get explanations in English from the first lesson, so you can learn to speak European Portuguese without a textbook in hand.
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.
European 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 the unstressed vowels people in Portugal swallow, so telefone sounds close to «tlfon», and pronoun placement like chamo-me. 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.

Praktika gives you a tutor who remembers past sessions, follows your study plan and sticks to European forms like tu and estou a falar.
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've studied Portuguese for a while and still freeze when someone in a café talks at normal speed. Short daily sessions also make it easier to stay consistent.
