The replies that make you sound fluent

  • React in the moment. "A sério?" (seriously?), "boa!" (great!), "bolas!" (man!), and "estás a gozar" (you're kidding), the little reactions that carry a real conversation.

  • Greet and part naturally. "Estou sim" when you answer the phone, "há quanto tempo" when you reunite, and "até já," "até logo," and "tchau" when you leave.

  • Handle life's big moments. Know what to say with "muitos parabéns" (congratulations), "felicidades" (all the best), and "os meus sentimentos" (my condolences).

  • Spaced repetition that works. A built-in trainer brings each of the 28 replies back at exactly the right moment until it's locked into long-term memory.

TESTIMONIALS

From people who tried other things first.

  • I knew my self-taught Brazilian Portuguese might not be so well understood for my trip to the Azores. I wanted the real language of European Portuguese, not just that of limited Brazilian CD courses. It's like Carla and Marlon are in the room with you. There's no pressure, or fear of getting things wrong, just gentle encouragement.
  • I'm the type who gets bored and loses focus very quickly. I moved to Portugal recently and have been really struggling getting my head around the language. I finally came across Portuguese With Carla and decided to give it a try. In just two weeks I'm starting to understand when I hear others speak Portuguese.
