Portuguese is spoken by around 260 million people in Brazil, Portugal, and Lusophone Africa. It's the sixth most spoken language in the world and the key to South America’s largest country.

Portuguese learning — frequently asked questions
How long does it take to learn Portuguese?
With focused daily practice of 15–30 minutes, most learners reach confident everyday conversation in Portuguese within about three months. My Language Learning builds a personalised path from your placement test so you spend time on what you actually need.
Is Portuguese hard to learn?
Every language is learnable when you practise the right things in the right order. We start you with high-frequency phrases and real scenarios — ordering food, checking in, asking directions — so you are speaking Portuguese from day one instead of memorising rules in isolation.
Can I learn Portuguese for free?
Yes. You can try a full Portuguese lesson with no account. A free account saves your progress and streak, and a 7-day free trial unlocks all nine languages plus AI conversation practice.
Do I need to learn the Portuguese alphabet or characters first?
No. Pronunciation guides and audio on every word mean you can start speaking and understanding Portuguese immediately, and pick up the writing system gradually alongside real practice.
