FAQ
Local Brazilian is a daily Brazilian Portuguese practice habit built from current Brazil. Each issue gives you short Portuguese and English reading, audio, article-based exercises, useful words and phrases, and a weekly report card that makes your progress visible.
It is for people with a real reason to stay close to Portuguese: a Brazilian partner or family, travel to Brazil, work ties, heritage, or a deep love of Brazilian music, film, futebol, food, and culture.
A daily issue includes short bilingual reading drawn from Brazilian news and culture, side-by-side Portuguese and English, Portuguese audio, highlighted words and phrases, and conjugation and gender exercises tied to what you just read.
Yes. Local Brazilian is built around Brazilian Portuguese, Brazilian topics, and the cultural context people actually talk about in and around Brazil.
Yes. You can choose core topics like sports, business, politics, food, travel, and daily life, then add custom topics for the specific parts of Brazil you care about most.
The reading is based on real Brazilian news and culture, then turned into short learning-friendly Portuguese and English summaries so you practice with current context instead of canned textbook examples.
The trial includes the full membership experience: daily issues, Portuguese audio, article-based exercises, progress tracking, and your first weekly report card. No commitment; you will know within a week whether the rhythm fits.

It is a simple Saturday recap of your week: attendance, exercise accuracy, vocabulary covered, verbs encountered, strengths, weak spots, and what to focus on next.
No. The bilingual format and audio help beginners stay afloat, while easy and hard exercise modes let more experienced learners keep the practice useful. The goal is consistency, not gatekeeping.
Most people can complete the core reading and exercises in about 10 minutes. You can keep it light on busy days or spend more time listening, reviewing vocabulary, and working through extra practice.
Yes. You can cancel from your account at any time, and you keep access through the end of your billing period.
Duolingo is mostly mechanics, while tutors are expensive and hard to schedule consistently. Local Brazilian sits in between: real, current Brazilian content you actually want to read and listen to, with just enough structure to make the habit stick.
