Speeku

The course
Not a demo and not a word list. More than 1,500 small lessons that start at Oi and end with you holding a conversation.
1,500lessons
16,500exercises
3,000words you will know
8,000dictionary entriesVariety
A word never comes back the same way twice. Pick it out of four pictures, build it out of chips, catch it in a conversation, walk it across a town map, put it in the right room, then say it out loud into the microphone. Which is why ten exercises go by quickly, and why the fortieth lesson still does not feel like the first one again.
Pick the picture
Every word and sentence in the course is spoken, so you hear Brazilian Portuguese from day one. Tap a face to say hello.
Speaking
Speeku turns the word it asked for into the sounds it is made of, listens to what you actually said, and compares the two. It tells you which word it heard, not how native you sound. Nothing is recorded, and there is no server to send a voice to.
Say it out loud
The dictionary
Over eight thousand entries live on your phone, each with its Brazilian pronunciation and, where Portuguese inflects, the whole table. Search finds a word in the shape you met it in, offline.
Then the table you just read comes back as a drill you have to fill in yourself. Same table twice: once to read, once to learn.

Flashcards
Every word a lesson teaches you turns into a card. Run a deck whenever you have a minute, on the tram or in a queue, and the app deals you the ones you are closest to forgetting first.
You never have to plan a review or build a deck. It is already there, and it already knows which words are slipping.
Unlimited hearts
Pay once, and the whole course is yours.
Private by design
On a beach in Rio, on the bus to São Paulo, at 30,000 feet. Everything runs on your phone.
Who it’s for
The Portuguese of Brazil, the way it is actually spoken from Rio to Porto Alegre.
Whether you are a complete beginner or coming back to it after a few words on a trip, the course starts at Oi and teaches Brazil's pronunciation, its você and its a gente, and the way a sentence is actually put together in São Paulo.
Eu me chamo César. E você?My name is César. And you?
Meu nome é Bia. Prazer!My name is Bia. Nice to meet you!
Our method
Four new words at a time, and a word is not yours until you have climbed all four rungs: read it, hear it, say it, then recall it with nothing in front of you.
The drills keep changing so the rungs can stay the same. That is the whole trick, and it is why an evening of this does not feel like an evening of study.

4Brazilian: the Portuguese of Brazil, in its own pronunciation and its own grammar: você, a gente, and the way people actually talk. Portugal's Portuguese is a separate course.
Yes. Every week you get four hearts, and each one opens a new lesson. When you want more, unlimited hearts are one payment in the app. It is not a subscription, and there are no ads.
About 11 exercises, which is a tram ride. Four new words, then the same words coming back in different shapes, 63 different shapes in this course, so it stays interesting to the end. There is no streak to protect, and nothing tells you off for missing a day.
From the first lesson, and in 15 of the 1501. The app listens and checks whether you said the right word, on the device. Nothing is recorded, uploaded or kept.
No, and it will not pretend to. It confirms that you said the right word. Judging how native you sound is not something it can do honestly, so it does not claim to.
1,500+ lessons and 3,000+ words, practised in 16,500+ exercises, plus a dictionary of 8,000+ entries you can search offline.
Completely. The lessons, the dictionary and the speech checking all run on your phone. It works on a plane, in a tunnel, and on a mountain with no signal.
You can still replay any lesson you have finished, read the culture lessons, review your flashcards and search the dictionary. Four new hearts arrive on Monday at midnight, or you can get unlimited hearts in the app.
No. If you bought it as a paid download, you keep unlimited lessons. Update the app, and if it ever asks you to pay, write to contact@speeku.com.
No. There is no sign-up and no password. Your progress is stored on your phone, which is also the only place it could be.
Four new words at a time, one small lesson at a time, and a real dictionary behind every word.
