The map
Each heading is its own course. Later ones open when you finish — or test out of — the one before. A later course does not reteach earlier bands.
A1
Start hereHandle greetings, yourself, food, and getting around in the present tense in everyday Portuguese.
A2
After A1 — or test outManage everyday errands, travel, and short past-and-present stories.
B1
After A2 — or test outGive opinions, follow a simple show or article, and write a clear personal message.
B2
After B1 — or test outArgue a position, follow most news and workplace talk, and write a structured note.
C1
After B2 — or test outKeep up with native-speed conversation and most written Portuguese without slowing down.
C2
After C1 — or test outWork near-native: register, humour, and long-form talk or text — Brazilian everyday speech, with European forms when they matter.
What this is for
- 01
Handle a café, a station, and a phone call without switching to English.
- 02
Give an opinion, tell a story in the past, and write a clear message.
- 03
Keep up with a show at native speed — and argue a point, not recite a list.
Why a path, not a playlist
A phrasebook gets you through a menu. A path gets you through a conversation, then a news story, then work. Each band is its own course. Later ones do not reteach A1.
Everyday spoken Portuguese here is Brazilian. European forms show up when they would actually matter. Already past beginner? Test out of a band in one sitting.
