What learners say
This app is well worth the subscription! I'm a shy perfectionist, often freezing when required to speak, so speaking in a new language is extremely challenging for me. This app has been very good practice to build my confidence. I've tried to practice speaking with other LLM's (GPT, Claude, Gemini) but struggled with their ability to keep a structure that allowed for sustainable practice. Dia has been a joy to use, solving for those issues. It has helpful features, giving me feedback on improving my sentence structures. I'm also enjoying the surprise images.

Frequently asked questions about learning Portuguese
Does Dia teach Brazilian or European Portuguese?
Both. Pick the one you're learning and your tutor uses its vocabulary and expressions.
Can I prepare for the CELPE-Bras exam?
You can practice for it. It's conversation practice, not an official mock exam.
Will my tutor explain você and tu?
Yes. Your tutor uses the forms that fit the variety you picked (você in most of Brazil, tu with friends in Portugal) and explains the difference when you ask.
Is Dia a good Duolingo alternative for Portuguese?
Apps like Duolingo are good for building vocabulary. With Dia you say your own sentences out loud in conversation, with gentle corrections as you go.
How much Portuguese do I need to know to start?
You can start as a beginner. Your tutor matches your level and switches to your language when you're stuck.
