Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between European and Brazilian Portuguese?

They share a grammar core but differ in vocabulary, pronunciation and everyday expressions: the bus is the autocarro in Portugal and the ônibus in Brazil, and breakfast is the pequeno-almoço or the café da manhã. Multi Lingo AI keeps them as separate practice languages and marks the words one says differently from the other.

Is there an app for European Portuguese, not Brazilian?

Yes. In Multi Lingo AI European Portuguese is its own practice language, with stories, culture pieces, jokes and word games written for it, read aloud in a Portuguese accent, plus exam training and grammar drills.

Does it replace my Portuguese course or teacher?

No. It is a practice companion for the gaps a course leaves: local words, slang and the things your teacher explained that did not quite stick.
