Learn Portuguese with an AI tutor

Don't memorize Portuguese (Português) - have a conversation in it. Semantix immerses you from your first message: the tutor chats in Portuguese with light English scaffolding, gently corrects you, and turns what you fumble into spaced-repetition flashcards automatically. A placement chat finds your CEFR level and a structured A1-B2 path of 17 units takes it from there.

How Semantix teaches Portuguese

  • Immersion from day one. The tutor replies mostly in Portuguese, with just enough English to keep you moving.
  • Flashcards that build themselves. Every word you stumble on becomes an SM-2 spaced-repetition card, so review is drawn from your own conversations.
  • A real path, not a word list. Placement puts you at the right CEFR level and the A1-B2 curriculum gives structure - plus practice modes, writing correction, and article import.
