Good to know

Learning Portuguese with FluentOtto.

Brazilian or European Portuguese?

Most of our Portuguese voices are Brazilian, so lessons sound like Brazil.

I speak some Spanish. Will Portuguese be easy?

Easier to read, often harder to hear. Seeing each word light up as it’s spoken helps you match the sounds to words you already half know.

What level should I start at?

Six steps, A1 to C2. Not sure? Start one step lower; you can remake any lesson easier or harder. See the levels.

Your Portuguese starts with one topic.
