Algarve Offseason Beta

European Portuguese · A1–A2 · free

Learn Portuguese.
Conquer Portugal.

You arrive in Lisbon with a rucksack and a phrasebook. Every lesson you master wins you territory, from the docks of Lisboa to the shores of Faro. Forget a topic, and that town rises up until you review it.

11 territories, 22 lessons. A territory is yours when you master its lessons and win its siege.

Real Portuguese from Portugal

Pequeno-almoço, not café da manhã. Estou a trabalhar, not estou trabalhando. Every answer is checked against rules a teacher wrote, never guessed by a chatbot.

Review that feels like defence

Topics come back on a schedule that helps them stick. Put down the uprising in Coimbra by revising the past tense. A slip never costs you a territory.

Compete, if you want to

A daily challenge with the same questions for everyone, weekly leagues that reward accuracy over grinding, and duels only with players who opted in.

How the campaign works

  1. Learn: short lessons, each with an explanation, examples and 9–10 exercises.
  2. Master: score 80% or more to pass a lesson. Pass both lessons of a territory to unlock its siege.
  3. Conquer: win the siege (a mixed test, 80%) and the territory is yours.
  4. Defend: passed lessons return for review after 1, 3, 7, 14, 30 and 60 days, as uprisings in the territory.
