Brazilian vs European Portuguese

They're as different as American and British English — except the vocabulary gap is much bigger. Using Brazilian words in Portugal gets you blank stares.

Builder of Aprender, expat in Portugal

I moved to Portugal and quickly discovered every language app teaches Brazilian Portuguese. That's a completely different accent, vocabulary, and even grammar.

Ordering a "cardápio" (menu) in Lisbon gets you blank stares — it's "ementa" in European Portuguese. Try asking for an "ônibus" instead of an "autocarro" and people think you're speaking Spanish.

So I built the app I wished existed. Aprender is what happens when you actually need to learn the language people around you speak.
