About Speeku European Portuguese
Speeku teaches European Portuguese as spoken in Portugal, not Brazil, with pronunciation, grammar and sentence structure authentic to Lisbon. The course contains over 1,000 lessons progressing from Olá to real conversation, with 2,000+ words practiced across 12,000+ exercises and an 8,000-entry offline dictionary.
Lessons use 61 different exercise types to keep learning engaging, with every word and sentence spoken by native speakers from day one. The app includes speaking practice from the first lesson, with on-device speech recognition that checks if you said the right word without recording or uploading audio.
The app works completely offline—lessons, dictionary and speech checking all run on your phone. Learning follows a four-skill progression: read, hear, say, and recall each word. Progress is stored only on your device with no account required.

Questions
- Is this European or Brazilian Portuguese?
- European: the Portuguese of Portugal, in its own pronunciation and its own grammar. Almost every other app teaches Brazilian.
- Is Speeku free?
- Yes. Every week you get four hearts, and each one opens a new lesson. When you want more, unlimited hearts are one payment in the app. It is not a subscription, and there are no ads.
- Can I practise speaking European Portuguese?
- From the first lesson, and in 77 of the 1118 total lessons. The app listens and checks whether you said the right word, on the device. Nothing is recorded, uploaded or kept.
- Does Speeku work without internet?
- Completely. The lessons, the dictionary and the speech checking all run on your phone. The Android app does not even request internet permission. It works on a plane, in a tunnel, and on a mountain with no signal.
- How much European Portuguese does it teach?
- 1,000+ lessons and 2,000+ words, practised in 12,000+ exercises, plus a dictionary of 8,000+ entries you can search offline.
