European Portuguese Reading

🇵🇹 The only app built exclusively for European Portuguese learners.
Every story, every word, every audio clip is authentic PT-PT — the Portuguese spoken in Lisbon, Porto, and the Azores. Not Brazilian. Not a mix. Real European Portuguese, from day one.

📚 156 GRADED STORIES. ONE CLEAR PATH.
Learn European Portuguese through reading — the most natural way to absorb a language. Every story is mapped to the CEFR framework so you always know exactly where you are:
🟢 A1–A2 Foundation — greetings, daily routines, first conversations, present tense
🟡 B1 Intermediate — expat admin, healthcare, the subjunctive, survival Portuguese
🟠 B2 Upper Intermediate — professional life, business, journalism, regional culture
🔴 C1 Advanced — legal contracts, academic essays, political discourse, classical literature
New stories added every month. Your reading library keeps growing.

🎯 VOCABULARY THAT ACTUALLY STICKS
Tap any word while reading for an instant in-context definition — not a dictionary list, but the meaning as it's actually used in the sentence.
Save words to your personal vocabulary list and review them with flashcards. The app tracks how often you've seen each word and resurfaces the ones you need most.
Start with the built-in Top 200 Words — the most common vocabulary in everyday European Portuguese. Master these first and 60% of what you read will already make sense.

🔊 HEAR REAL EUROPEAN PORTUGUESE PRONUNCIATION
Every story can be read aloud using high-definition audio tuned to Portugal Portuguese. Hear how native speakers actually sound — the swallowed vowels, the clipped consonants, the rhythm that makes PT-PT so distinct from Brazilian Portuguese.
Premium members get full HD audio across all stories and collections.
