Speaking Portuguese
Why speak Portuguese from day one
Nasal vowels, as in ão and ões, are the sounds that most often catch English speakers out. Hear them, then say them aloud and check how close you were.

Portuguese questions, answered
Can I learn Portuguese for free with 4ToSpeak?
Yes. The free plan needs no card and has no time limit. You get 25 daily energy, about 3 to 4 full lessons a day, and the whole module store is open to you (some modules cost coins you earn by practising).
How does 4ToSpeak teach Portuguese speaking?
Every Portuguese sentence goes through four steps: you order it, translate it, listen and type it, then say it out loud. The last step is the point. You hear how close you were, word by word, instead of tapping an answer.
Do I need a microphone to practise Portuguese?
Yes, for the speaking step. Your browser asks permission the first time, and it works on a phone, a tablet or a computer. The other three steps work without one.
Do I need to know any Portuguese already?
No. Lessons start from short everyday Portuguese sentences and build up, so you can begin from nothing.
Is Portuguese hard to learn for English speakers?
Easier if you already know Spanish or French. Pronunciation is the harder part, especially the nasal vowels and the way unstressed vowels shrink.
