Sign up for a free trial of Pimsleur on or read a more in-depth review. Because of this, even though the vocabulary focus can be a little narrow, it is probably a lot more useful than learning the top 10,000 Portuguese words on Memrise. All of these features focus on the vocabulary and grammar that you will have covered in the audio lessons, which are the words and phrases that Pimsleur feels are most essential to getting the foundations in European Portuguese. Although the audio component is still the primary focus of Pimsleur, these days the course is taught through the Pimsleur app (available for both Android and iOS as well as the web).īesides being able to play the audio content and track your progress in a much easier fashion that an MP3, the Pimsleur app comes with other features like quizzes, flashcards, and games. Not that long ago the Pimsleur course was taught over MP3s and CDs (and cassette tapes before that). For full access you’ll need a Practice Portuguese membership. The Practice Portuguese app is available for Android and iOS devices, and you can also access the site through the website as well. You can then listen to this file while driving, on the bus, at the gym, or wherever else you want to practice your Portuguese.
This allows you to create an audio file of all the words and phrases that you don’t know. One of the most useful features is the Smart Review. You can also listen to audio clips from the audio ‘shorties’, just as with the website, and see translations of the vocabulary and expressions used in the audio. There’s a verb section, which contains common verbs and their conjugations as well as audio pronunciation for each word.
The app is useful for learning Portuguese on the go (for example, when you’re commuting or just have 10 minutes to spare). If you have a Practice Portuguese membership (and remember: Portugalist readers pay less), you can sign in to the app and take full advantage of all its features. Joel and Rui, the guys behind Practice Portuguese, have created an app to compliment their language learning platform at.
