Learn Portuguese Online — Brazilian or European, Your Choice
260 million people speak Portuguese across two continents. Talktiko offers variant-specific courses and TTS voices so you learn the pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar that match where you'll actually use the language.
Two Variants, One Platform
Choose Brazilian Portuguese (tu/você, open vowels) or European Portuguese (tu, closed vowels). Courses and TTS voices match your chosen variant.
Nasal Vowels & Sibilants
Listen-isolation exercises target ão, ões, ãe, and the sh-like 's' in European Portuguese — sounds that don't exist in English and require dedicated ear training.
Subjuntivo & Verb Moods
Interactive grammar exercises introduce futuro do subjuntivo, pessoal infinitivo, and other verb forms unique to Portuguese — gradually, with contextual tips on mistakes.
Street-Level Conversation
Dialog exercises cover haggling at a feira, chatting at a padaria, or navigating São Paulo transit — real scenarios with colloquial phrasing.
CELPE-Bras & CAPLE Alignment
Courses map to CEFR A1–C2, matching CELPE-Bras (Brazilian) and CAPLE (European) exam structures.
Spanish-Speaker Fast Track
Already know Spanish? Our contrastive analysis highlights false friends (exquisito, embarazada) and grammar divergences (personal infinitive, future subjunctive) to accelerate your Portuguese.
