Applications for learning Portuguese
LiveXP
This application, which is available both for iOS and Android, can help you a lot. With the Word Trainer, which is free to use, you can memorize new words with a spaced repetition method. You enter an unknown word, get the translation, and add it to the list of words you want to learn. The system creates exercises to practice words, learn their pronunciation and spelling, and use them in context. Also, the application offers you a bunch of tutors to learn Portuguese in 1-on-1 lessons with a tutor you choose. To have regular private lessons, you need to buy a subscription (there is a variety of plans) and learn from anywhere. This way, you will learn new words and practice using them in real-life conversations (even with native speakers if you want). In your lessons, you can learn any topic you want from complex grammar to discussing your favorite movies.
Anki
Do you forget a great deal of things in one day, learn new words or phrases one day only to forget them the next? That’s where Anki comes in. This clever little application incorporates flashcards and reminders so that vocabulary and grammar are remembered at the right time. It’s as if there’s someone there going ‘hey’ precisely when one needs it.
Quizlet
Flashcards are different in this app; they are not boring or tedious but rather done in a more recreational fashion as the students get to play games. There’s also a function where the users can create their own decks or use ones already made and concentrate on their problematic words and phrases. These have quizzes, where studying is rather more like play than doing homework.
ChatGPT
Do you have an internal fear of ruining your Portuguese because someone is watching? Practice confidently with ChatGPT. Posing questions assists. There is always the possibility of testing new phrases or simply chatting in a no-judgment zone without any limits on how many times the attempts can be taken.
Speak AI
Pronunciation has to be the most challenging aspect of learning a new language, but Speak AI makes this quite easy. You simply have to speak in the app, and it provides immediate feedback so that users are able to sound more fluent. It is similar to having a language trainer, minus the embarrassment of correcting someone in person.
Speechify
Can’t find the time to sit down and revise? No worries. Written information such as books, articles, and even self-created notes are available in capture speech format on different gadgets. Speechify makes listening to books and articles an experience of learning, whether you are busy driving, cooking, or lying on the couch.

Clozemaster
If you are a game enthusiast, Clozemaster will become your new favorite game. It’s a take-away quiz game, to be precise, a fill-in-the-blank quiz game and it hardly feels like you are targeting learning grammar and vocabulary. You will learn the new language subconsciously, even before you know it.
LingQ
Do you enjoy listening to podcasts or engaging with articles? LingQ will transform the content you adore into tailored lessons for you. When you come across unknown words, just highlight them, await their opportunity, and employ them in sentences and phrases. It’s great for those who prefer learning by engaging with something that already interests them.
Drops
What makes learning new words interesting is the “Drops.” Вy devoting just five minutes a day to studying new words without becoming stressed is possible. It is suitable for those busy days when you still want to have some productivity.
Tandem

It’s like having a language partner who actually cares whether you figure out a few things about their language and culture.
