Hear Portuguese the way it's actually spoken.

Five short clips of real speech. Type what you hear. About three minutes.

  1. Listen. Each clip is a few seconds of real speech from a real video. Replay it or slow it down as often as you like.

  2. Type what you hear. We compare it word by word and explain how people really shorten and blur their words.

  3. Translate for a bonus. Say what it means in English for extra XP. The meaning counts, not the exact words.

I'm learning
Difficulty
  • Easy: Beginner-friendly: slower, clearer speech. Around A2–B1.
  • Medium: Conversationalist: everyday speech. Around B1–B2.
  • Hard: Native speed, slang and all. Around B2–C1.

Today's five are drawn from the levels you pick.

Made by Nathan from the UK, learning Brazilian Portuguese. Apps run out of steam past B2, and a whole podcast is a lot. tendi sits in between.
