I am looking for Portuguese musicians to listen to. My friend who is Portuguese says that they mainly sing in English but surely there are some good Portuguese musicians out there whom are understandable when they sing that will be useful to listen to, learn and enjoy at the same time?
Im portuguese and was born and raised in the US, my parents never fully taught me the language growing up. So all my life ive had scrappy broken Portuguese, im at the level now where when people are speaking portuguese i know exactly what they are saying but for whatever reason i struggle to say it myself. I want to start from the beginning and learn all the basics and learn the language the right way, i dont want to use apps or audio books or anything like that, I want a book. Does anyone have any recommendations for books that really helped them learn European Portuguese??
Hi guys, I would like to introduce you my portuguese verb conjugation app called Conjulejo!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.conjulejo.app
The idea came to me during my journey learning Spanish 🇪🇸. I leaned on some existing apps to help with my studies, and although they were hugely useful, I kept feeling that the experience of this type of app could be improved and refined. After some research and finding an apparent lack of good options for Portuguese, I decided to give it a shot and build my own version of this type of app.
The pun (Conjugação + Azulejo 🔷 = Conjulejo) came along the way. As a homage to Portuguese tiles, I wanted the app to be not just practical but also thematic and aesthetically pleasing.
It covers both the European 🇵🇹 and Brazilian 🇧🇷 variants, with 10 different drill types across 4 categories: flashcards, writing, association, and multiple choice, so it can fit anyone's preferences and adapt to their learning style. It also has timed answers and sprint sessions to add a bit more challenge.⏱️
I packed in a lot of quality of life features ⚙️ too : personalized lists 📝, favorite verbs 🩵, verb filters 🔽 and training presets, so you can change what shows up in your verb pool without touching your lists, and quickly switch between drill modes. It includes 28 tenses (including haver vs. ter compound variations), and as a more advanced feature, pronominal conjugations (-lhe, -se, -a/o/as/os forms), adding up to more than 4,000 verbs when everything is enabled.
So if you have any friends currently learning Portuguese and struggling to master verb conjugation (dealing with irregular verbs like ser, ir, and pôr can be daunting at first), or even if it applies to you, I urge you to share the app link and give it a try! 😊
