Azulino: Learn Portuguese

Everyday words for life in Portugal: typing, dictation, fill-in-the-blank and whole sentences, not just tapping. One-time purchase, no ads, under 10 minutes a day.

Azulino teaches the words you actually need in Portugal: European Portuguese, not Brazilian. Over 1,900 words and short phrases for daily life, shopping, cafés, paperwork and travel, at A1 and A2 level.

The app does one thing and does it properly: vocabulary. No grammar tables, no conjugations, no rules. You learn words and phrases you can use straight away.

You practise actively: beyond plain multiple choice, you type the words, write them from dictation, fill in the blanks and use them in whole sentences. Every word also comes with a memory hook or a related word, and a warning when it's a false friend (like "constipado", which means having a cold, not constipated). In the background, a modern review scheduler (FSRS) works out when you should see each word again. That keeps your daily effort small and puts your time where it counts.

What you get:

• European Portuguese (pt-PT), as spoken in Portugal
• Over 1,900 words and phrases for everyday situations, A1/A2
• A memory hook and false-friend warnings on every word
• Several practice modes: multiple choice, typing, dictation, fill-in-the-blank, sentence practice and an o/a quiz
• FSRS review that adapts to your pace
• Built for under 10 minutes a day
• Works offline; iCloud sync with no account and no login
• Light and dark mode, accessibility (VoiceOver) support
• Interface in German or English

Buy once and you're done. After the free trial you pay a single time, no subscription, no hidden costs, no ads. What you pay for stays yours.

Who it's for: people moving to Portugal or already living there, travellers, partners and family of Portuguese speakers, and anyone preparing for the CIPLE (A2) language test.
