Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about European Portuguese, accounts, Lessons, progress, membership and the Android app.
Is this European or Brazilian Portuguese?
Learning Portuguese focuses on European Portuguese as spoken in Portugal, including its pronunciation, vocabulary, expressions and cultural context.
Where should a complete beginner start?
Use Find Your Level if you are unsure, then begin with A1 Lessons. The Book, Series, Dialogues, Music and Study Sheets reinforce the same language in different formats.
What is included in a free account?
A free account saves supported learning progress and gives access to the free areas shown on the site. Premium benefits and prices are always shown on the Membership page before purchase.
What are Lessons?
Lessons are interactive European Portuguese activities organised by CEFR level and topic. Exercises can include vocabulary, meaning, writing, matching and listening.
How are XP, streaks and badges calculated?
XP is awarded by eligible completed learning activities and missions. A streak grows when you complete at least one qualifying Lesson on consecutive local calendar days. City badges unlock automatically when their XP milestone is reached.
What happens if I reset my XP?
The reset confirmation explains exactly what will be removed. The current reset clears the associated Lesson progress, XP history, streak and unlocked city badges. This action is intended to be permanent, so confirm only if you want to start again.
Why might progress differ between devices?
Signed-in progress is saved to your account when the relevant feature supports sync. Some older or browser-only activity may also use local storage. Make sure you are signed into the same account and allow the page to finish saving before changing devices.
How do daily reminders work?
Daily reminders are available in the Android app. You choose whether they are active and the time. Android must grant notification permission, and battery or notification settings can affect delivery. The reminder is scheduled locally on that phone.
Can I turn vibration off?
Yes. The Android account preferences include a vibration choice for supported taps. Android device settings can also control haptic feedback.
How do colour themes work?
In the Android app, tap the palette icon beside the hamburger menu to cycle through the available themes. The selected theme is remembered on that device.
How does Premium membership work?
Membership can unlock the benefits listed on the Membership page. Website subscriptions are generally managed through Stripe; Android subscriptions may use Google Play. Your account shows the provider and membership status available to the site.
How do I cancel a membership?
Cancel using the provider that processed it: the Stripe management option for a website subscription or Google Play subscriptions for an Android purchase. Deleting your Learning Portuguese account does not automatically stop recurring billing.
Can I delete my account?
Yes. Use the dedicated Delete Account page linked from Account. Cancel any external recurring subscription first. Some limited transaction or security records may still be retained where legally required.
What is the animated Series about?
The Series follows characters experiencing life in Portugal and teaches useful European Portuguese through story, context and dialogue.
Where can I buy the Book?
Available formats and current purchase platforms are listed on the Book page. External purchases are governed by the chosen platform's checkout and delivery terms.
Do you offer private lessons?
Yes. Online private European Portuguese lessons can be booked through the private-lesson link on the website and may be delivered through Classgap.
How can I report a problem?
Use Feedback for bugs or exercise issues, or Contact for account, membership and general support. Include the page and what happened, but never send a password or full payment-card details.
Free or Membership?
