Portuguese from scratch — a beginner course for English speakers

1

Pronunciation, alphabet & first greetings

The sounds of Portuguese — and enough polite words to open any conversation.

Welcome to Brazilian Portuguese! The good news: the letters are the same ones you already know from English, so there is no new alphabet to memorise. What you need are a handful of sound rules — most of them completely regular. Learn the table below and you will be able to read almost any Portuguese word out loud, even one you have never seen.

Os sonsThe sound table

These are the letters and clusters that do not behave like English. Tap 🔊 to hear a real example.

Letter / cluster	How it sounds	Example	Say it like
ão	A nasal "ow", pushed through the nose — the most Portuguese sound there is.	não	now(ng)
nh	Like the ny in "canyon" (Spanish ñ).	vinho	VEEN-yoo
lh	Like the lli in "million".	filho	FEE-lyoo
ch	Like English sh — never "ch"!	chave	SHAH-vee
j / ge / gi	Like the s in "measure".	janela	zhah-NEH-lah
r / rr	A single r between vowels is a quick tap; rr or an r at the start of a word sounds like a strong English h.	caro	KAH-roo
s between vowels	Sounds like z.	casa	KAH-zah
ç	Always like s — never "k".	coração	koh-rah-SOW(ng)
final o / e	Unstressed at the end of a word they weaken to "oo" and "ee".	obrigado	oh-bree-GAH-doo

The five vowels are pure. Just like Spanish or Italian, a-e-i-o-u each keep one clean sound — "ah, eh, ee, oh, oo". The little marks (á, ê, ã, ç) tell you where to stress or how to nasalise; they never turn a vowel into a different letter.

SaudaçõesFirst greetings

The words you will use in the first ten seconds of every conversation:

Portuguese	Say it like	English
Olá	oh-LAH	Hello
Oi	oy	Hi (very common in Brazil)
Bom dia	bohng JEE-ah	Good morning
Boa tarde	BOH-ah TAR-jee	Good afternoon
Boa noite	BOH-ah NOY-chee	Good evening / good night
Tchau	chow	Bye
Até logo	ah-TEH LOH-goo	See you later
Por favor	poor fah-VOR	Please
Obrigado	oh-bree-GAH-doo	Thank you said by a man
Obrigada	oh-bree-GAH-dah	Thank you said by a woman
Desculpe	jees-KOOL-pee	Sorry / excuse me
Sim	seeng	Yes
Não	now(ng)	No

Thank you has a gender. Say obrigado if you are male and obrigada if you are female — it agrees with the speaker, not the listener. This is the single most useful habit to build on day one.

Como vai?Asking how someone is

YouComo você está?How are you? (lit. "how you are?")

FriendEstou bem, obrigada.I'm fine, thank you.

FriendE você?And you?

YouEstou bem, obrigado. Até mais tarde!I'm fine, thank you. See you later!

💡 Tip The letter ç (c-cedilha) is always an s sound, and it never appears before e or i — you will only ever see it before a, o, u, as in coração (heart) or açúcar (sugar).

ExercíciosExercises

1. Say these in Portuguese

Hello ← Olá
Good afternoon ← Boa tarde
See you later ← Até logo
Please ← Por favor
Thank you (if you are a woman) ← Obrigada

2. Read aloud, then check the sound

vinho ← VEEN-yoo — nh = "ny", final o = "oo"
chave ← SHAH-vee — ch = "sh"
casa ← KAH-zah — s between vowels = "z"
Como você está? ← How are you?

Free vocabulary: cognates & false friends

Hundreds of words you already know — and a few traps to sidestep.

Here is a gift English speakers get for free: Portuguese and English share thousands of cognates — words that look alike and mean the same thing. Learn the simple sound-swaps below and your vocabulary explodes overnight. Then we will meet the false friends: words that look familiar but mean something else entirely.

A reliable pattern: English -tion becomes Portuguese -ção (nation → nação), and English -ity becomes -idade (city → cidade). Spot the ending and you can often guess the word.

CognatosWords you already know

Portuguese	English
animal	animal
hospital	hospital
natural	natural
diferente	different
futuro	future
importante	important
inteligente	intelligent
problema	problem

Falsos amigosFalse friends — handle with care

Portuguese	Really means	Not…
fábrica	factory	not "fabric"
pasta	folder	not "pasta"
gravar	to record	not "to engrave"
pretender	to intend	not "to pretend"
assistir	to watch	not "to assist"
atual	current	not "actual"
eventualmente	possibly	not "eventually"
livraria	bookstore	not "library" (that's biblioteca)

💡 Tip Use cognates to build vocabulary fast, but glance at the meaning first. When unsure, listen for how a Brazilian actually uses the word — context always wins over a lookalike spelling.

ExercíciosExercises

1. Say these in Portuguese

animal ← animal
important ← importante
factory ← fábrica
to intend ← pretender
bookstore ← livraria

2. What does it really mean?

assistir ← to watch
atual ← current
eventualmente ← possibly
pasta ← folder

3

Introducing yourself

Your name, where you are from, and a warm "nice to meet you".

Now let's put a few words together into your first self-introduction. In Brazil people are friendly and informal, so this is one of the easiest things to do well. You only need three moves: greet, give your name, say where you are from.

Me apresentoThe core phrases

Portuguese	Say it like	English
Oi	oy	Hi
Meu nome é…	MEH-oo NOH-mee eh	My name is…
Eu sou de…	eh-oo soh jee	I'm from…
Prazer em conhecê-lo	prah-ZEHR eng koo-nyeh-SEH-loo	Nice to meet you
Como você está?	KOH-moo voh-SEH es-TAH	How are you?
E você?	ee voh-SEH	And you?

GramáticaThe word "você"

Você is the everyday Brazilian word for "you". It is friendly and neutral — you can use it with almost anyone. One quirk to remember: even though it means "you", it takes the he/she form of the verb.

você fala = you speak · você é = you are · você tem = you have.
So the same verb form covers "he", "she" and "you" — one less thing to learn.

DiálogoTwo people meet

AnaOi, meu nome é Ana.Hi, my name is Ana.

AnaEu sou de São Paulo.I'm from São Paulo.

JoãoOi, meu nome é João. Prazer em conhecê-lo, Ana.Hi, my name is João. Nice to meet you, Ana.

AnaComo você está, João?How are you, João?

JoãoEstou bem, obrigado, e você?I'm fine, thank you, and you?

💡 Tip An r at the start of a word sounds like an English h. So the name Rita sounds like "HEE-tah", and Rio like "HEE-oo".

ExercíciosExercises

1. Say these in Portuguese

Hi ← Oi
I'm from… ← Eu sou de…
How are you? ← Como você está?
Hi, my name is Ana ← Oi, meu nome é Ana

2. What does it mean?

Eu sou de São Paulo. ← I'm from São Paulo.
Prazer em conhecê-lo, Ana. ← Nice to meet you, Ana.
Estou bem, obrigado, e você? ← I'm fine, thank you, and you?

Numbers 1–100 and age

Count, give your phone number, tell your age and understand a price.

Numbers turn up everywhere — prices, ages, phone numbers, addresses. Portuguese numbers are very regular, so once you know the tens you can build everything in between with the little word e ("and").

Os númerosCounting the tens

Portuguese	Say it like	English
um	oong	one
dois	doys	two
dez	dehz	ten
vinte	VEEN-chee	twenty
trinta	TREEN-tah	thirty
quarenta	kwah-REN-tah	forty
cinquenta	seen-KWEN-tah	fifty
sessenta	seh-SEN-tah	sixty
setenta	seh-TEN-tah	seventy
oitenta	oy-TEN-tah	eighty
noventa	noh-VEN-tah	ninety
cem	seng	one hundred

GramáticaTwo number rules

Building numbers in between is easy — just join with e ("and"): vinte e cinco = twenty-five, quarenta e dois = forty-two.

Only two numbers have gender. um / uma (one) and dois / duas (two) change to match a feminine noun: uma casa, duas casas.
Exactly 100 is cem; from 101 it becomes cento: cento e um = one hundred and one.

Idade e preçoAge, phones and prices

Portuguese	English
Quantos anos você tem?	How old are you? lit. "how many years do you have?"
Eu tenho vinte e cinco anos.	I am twenty-five years old.
Qual é o seu número de telefone?	What is your phone number?
Meu número é…	My number is…
Quanto custa isso?	How much does this cost?
Isso custa cinquenta reais.	This costs fifty reais.

💡 Tip Age uses the verb ter ("to have"), not "to be": literally you "have" your years — tenho vinte anos = "I have twenty years".

ExercíciosExercises

1. Say these in Portuguese

twenty ← vinte
fifty ← cinquenta
one hundred ← cem
What is your phone number? ← Qual é o seu número de telefone?

2. What does it mean?

Quantos anos você tem? ← How old are you?
Eu tenho vinte e cinco anos. ← I am twenty-five years old.
Quanto custa isso? ← How much does this cost?

People and family

Name the family, point people out, and describe them in one line.

Family is where real conversations begin. In this lesson you will name the closest relatives, learn how to point someone out — "this is my…" — and add a simple description.

A famíliaFamily members

Portuguese	Say it like	English
pai	pie	father
mãe	my(ng)	mother
irmão	eer-MOW(ng)	brother
irmã	eer-MAH(ng)	sister
filho	FEE-lyoo	son
filha	FEE-lyah	daughter

GramáticaArticles & possessives agree

Every noun in Portuguese is masculine or feminine, and the little words around it must match:

	Masculine	Feminine
"the"	o pai	a mãe
"my"	meu irmão	minha irmã
"the" (plural)	os filhos	as filhas

Brazilians often add the article before a possessive: a minha família ("the my family"). It sounds natural — copy it.

DescreverPointing out & describing

Portuguese	English
Este é o meu pai.	This is my father.
Esta é a minha mãe.	This is my mother.
Ele é alto.	He is tall.
Ela é baixa.	She is short.
Meu irmão é engraçado.	My brother is funny.
Minha irmã é inteligente.	My sister is intelligent.

DiálogoWho's who

AQuem é ele?Who is he?

BEle é meu filho.He is my son.

AVocês são uma família grande?Are you a big family?

BSim, somos uma família grande.Yes, we are a big family.

💡 Tip To show possession Portuguese uses de ("of"), like English "of": o carro do João = "João's car" (the car of João). de + o merges into do.

ExercíciosExercises

1. Say these in Portuguese

father ← pai
sister ← irmã
This is my father ← Este é o meu pai
She is short ← Ela é baixa

2. What does it mean?

Quem é ele? ← Who is he?
Ela é minha filha. ← She is my daughter.
Sim, somos uma família grande. ← Yes, we are a big family.

Your first verbs in the presentgrammar

Four everyday verbs — and the moment you start building sentences yourself.

This is the lesson where Portuguese clicks. In Portuguese the ending of the verb tells you who is doing the action, so the subject is often dropped. We will meet the four verbs you will use most: ser (to be), ter (to have), querer (to want) and ir (to go).

Portuguese has three verb families by ending — -ar (falar, to speak), -er (comer, to eat) and -ir (partir, to leave). The four verbs below are irregular, but they are so common that they are worth memorising whole.

ConjugaçãoFour verbs, three persons

	ser to be	ter to have	querer to want	ir to go
eu (I)	sou	tenho	quero	vou
você / ele / ela	é	tem	quer	vai

Notice how você, ele and ela all share one form — é, tem, quer, vai. Learn each verb once and it covers "you", "he" and "she".

Regular verbsThe -ar pattern in a nutshell

Regular verbs are even easier. Drop the ending and add the personal ending. For falar (to speak):

Person	Portuguese	English
eu	falo	I speak
você / ele / ela	fala	you / he / she speaks
nós	falamos	we speak
eles / elas / vocês	falam	they / you (pl.) speak

💡 Tip Because the ending already shows the person, the pronoun is usually dropped: falo português means "I speak Portuguese" — no eu needed.

FrasesPutting them to work

AVocê quer café?Do you want coffee?

BSim, eu quero.Yes, I do (I want).

AEla vai ao mercado?Is she going to the market?

BSim, ela vai.Yes, she is going.

Two verbs for "to be". ser is for permanent traits (who you are, where you're from); its partner estar is for temporary states (how you feel, where you are right now) — that's the estou bem from Lesson 1. More on this pair as you go.

ExercíciosExercises

1. Say these in Portuguese

I am ← Eu sou
I have ← Eu tenho
I want ← Eu quero
Do you want coffee? ← Você quer café?

2. What does it mean?

Ela vai. ← She goes / she is going.
Ela vai ao mercado? ← Is she going to the market?
Sim, eu quero. ← Yes, I want (to).

Asking questions

Who, what, where, when, why and how — the keys that unlock conversation.

Questions are how you keep a conversation alive. The best news for English speakers: Portuguese has no inverted question marks and needs no helper word like "do". Very often you just raise your voice at the end.

As perguntasQuestion words

Portuguese	Say it like	English
O que…?	oo kee	What…?
Quem…?	keng	Who…?
Onde…?	OHN-jee	Where…?
Quando…?	KWAN-doo	When…?
Por que…?	poor KEH	Why…?
Como…?	KOH-moo	How…?
Qual…?	kwow	Which / what…?

Na práticaQuestions you'll actually use

Portuguese	English
O que é isso?	What is this?
Onde você mora?	Where do you live?
Quando é o seu aniversário?	When is your birthday?
Qual é o seu nome?	What is your name?
Onde fica o banheiro?	Where is the bathroom?
Por que você está aqui?	Why are you here?
Como você faz isso?	How do you do that?
Você sabe onde fica a estação?	Do you know where the station is?

Two spellings of "why". In a question, write it apart — Por que você está aqui?. In the answer, write it as one word — Porque estou aqui. ("Because I'm here.") Same sound, different job.

💡 Tip The question word goes at the front, and that's usually all you change. Você fala inglês? ("You speak English?") is a full question — just let your voice rise at the end.

ExercíciosExercises

1. Say these in Portuguese

What is this? ← O que é isso?
Who is he? ← Quem é ele?
What is your name? ← Qual é o seu nome?
Where do you live? ← Onde você mora?

2. What does it mean?

Onde fica o banheiro? ← Where is the bathroom?
Como você faz isso? ← How do you do that?
Você sabe onde fica a estação? ← Do you know where the station is?

Food: ordering and asking

Order a coffee, ask what's good, and get the bill without a hitch.

Eating out is one of the great pleasures of Brazil — and a perfect place to practise. A handful of polite phrases will carry you from "table for two" all the way to "the bill, please".

No restauranteUseful phrases

Portuguese	English
Tem uma mesa para dois?	Is there a table for two?
Posso ver o cardápio?	Can I see the menu?
O que você recomenda?	What do you recommend?
Eu quero um café.	I want a coffee.
Eu gostaria de uma água, por favor.	I'd like a water, please.
Tem algo vegetariano?	Is there something vegetarian?
Está delicioso!	It's delicious!
A conta, por favor.	The bill, please.
Você aceita cartão?	Do you accept card?

GramáticaThe polite "I'd like" & gostar de

Eu gostaria de… ("I would like…") is the softest, most polite way to order. And notice a key pattern: the verb gostar ("to like") always needs de after it.

Eu gosto de café. = I like coffee. · Você gosta de música? = Do you like music? — the de is not optional.

DiálogoAt the table

CustomerEu gostaria de um suco de laranja, por favor.I'd like an orange juice, please.

WaiterClaro, mais alguma coisa?Sure, anything else?

CustomerNão, obrigado. A conta, por favor.No, thank you. The bill, please.

💡 Tip To call the waiter, say Garçom, por favor! (gar-SOWNG). To praise the food like a local: Muito gostoso! or Uma delícia!

Getting around town

Ask directions, catch the right bus, and buy a ticket.

Finding your way is a survival skill. With a few key questions you can ask where something is, how to get there, and which bus to take — and understand the answer.

DireçõesDirections & transport

Portuguese	English
Você pode me ajudar?	Can you help me?
Eu estou perdido.	I am lost.
Como eu chego à estação de metrô?	How do I get to the subway station?
Onde é o ponto de ônibus?	Where is the bus stop?
Quanto custa a passagem?	How much does the ticket cost?
Vire à direita.	Turn right.
Vire à esquerda.	Turn left.
Siga em frente.	Go straight ahead.
A estação está longe daqui?	Is the station far from here?

GramáticaThe magic verb "ficar"

One verb does a lot of work in the city: ficar. It can mean "to be located", "to stay", and even "to become".

Onde fica o banheiro? = Where is the bathroom (located)? · Fico aqui. = I'm staying here. · Directions pair with articles: à direita (to the right), à esquerda (to the left).

DiálogoWhich bus?

AVocê sabe se este ônibus vai para a praia?Do you know if this bus goes to the beach?

BSim, vai direto para lá.Yes, it goes directly there.

AVocê pode me mostrar no mapa?Can you show me on the map?

💡 Tip That initial r in rua (street) and Rio is the strong "h" sound again — say "HOO-ah", "HEE-oo". It's the most Brazilian-sounding habit you can pick up.

ExercíciosExercises

1. Say these in Portuguese

Where is the bathroom? ← Onde fica o banheiro?
I am lost. ← Eu estou perdido.
Turn right. ← Vire à direita.
Go straight ahead. ← Siga em frente.

Você pode me mostrar no mapa? ← Can you show me on the map?
A estação está longe daqui? ← Is the station far from here?
Sim, vai direto para lá. ← Yes, it goes directly there.

Time: hours, days and plans

Tell the time, name the days, and make a plan to meet.

To arrange anything you need time words. Telling the time in Portuguese is straightforward, and the days of the week have one delightful quirk you will remember forever: most of them are simply numbered.

As horasTelling the time

Portuguese	English
Que horas são?	What time is it?
É uma hora.	It is one o'clock.
São duas horas.	It is two o'clock.
Meio-dia	Noon
Meia-noite	Midnight

One vs. many. Use é for one o'clock (é uma hora) but são for every other hour (são três horas). "At" a time uses às: às sete horas = at seven.

Os diasDays of the week

Portuguese	English	Literally
Segunda-feira	Monday	"second"
Terça-feira	Tuesday	"third"
Quarta-feira	Wednesday	"fourth"
Quinta-feira	Thursday	"fifth"
Sexta-feira	Friday	"sixth"
Sábado	Saturday	(Sabbath)
Domingo	Sunday	(Lord's day)

💡 Tip In everyday speech Brazilians drop -feira: just na segunda ("on Monday"), na sexta ("on Friday"). Weekends stand out because they are the only days with real names.

DiálogoMaking a plan

AVamos nos encontrar na sexta-feira?Shall we meet on Friday?

BQue tal sábado?How about Saturday?

APerfeito, às dez da manhã.Perfect, at ten in the morning.

Que tal sábado? ← How about Saturday?
Perfeito, às dez da manhã. ← Perfect, at ten in the morning.

Shopping and money

Ask the price, try things on, bargain a little, and pay your way.

From a boutique to a street market, shopping is all about a few reliable phrases. Ask the price, ask for a different size, and know how you'd like to pay.

Nas comprasPrices, sizes, paying

Portuguese	English
Quanto custa?	How much does it cost?
Qual é o preço?	What is the price?
É muito caro.	It's too expensive.
É barato.	It's cheap.
Tem desconto?	Is there a discount?
Você tem um tamanho maior?	Do you have a larger size?
Preciso de um tamanho menor.	I need a smaller size.
Posso experimentar?	Can I try it on?
Aceita cartão de crédito?	Do you accept credit card?
Posso pagar em dinheiro?	Can I pay in cash?

Big vs. small. Adjectives come in pairs you'll reuse everywhere: maior / menor (bigger / smaller), caro / barato (expensive / cheap). At a market, a friendly Faz mais barato? ("Can you make it cheaper?") is fair game.

DiálogoBuying a shirt

CustomerQuanto custa esta camisa?How much is this shirt?

SellerCusta cinquenta reais.It costs fifty reais.

CustomerAceita cartão de crédito?Do you accept credit card?

SellerSim, aceitamos.Yes, we do.

💡 Tip Quanto is your all-purpose "how much / how many" word: quanto custa? (how much?), quantos anos? (how many years?). It changes ending to agree: quantas mesas? (how many tables?).

ExercíciosExercises

1. Say these in Portuguese

How much does it cost? ← Quanto custa?
Do you accept credit card? ← Aceita cartão de crédito?
Is there a discount? ← Tem desconto?

Preciso de um tamanho menor. ← I need a smaller size.
Custa cinquenta reais. ← It costs fifty reais.
Sim, aceitamos. ← Yes, we do (accept).

Recent past and simple futuregrammar

Say what you did yesterday and what you'll do tomorrow.

With the present tense mastered, you can stretch in both directions. Two easy tools cover most everyday conversation: a simple past for "yesterday I…", and the Brazilian spoken future, which is refreshingly easy.

GramáticaThe spoken future = ir + verb

Brazilians almost never use the textbook future. Instead they use ir ("to go") in the present, plus the plain verb — exactly like English "going to".

Portuguese	English
eu vou trabalhar	I'm going to work
você vai comer	you're going to eat
ela vai estudar	she's going to study

Ontem & amanhãYesterday and tomorrow

Portuguese	English
Ontem eu trabalhei.	Yesterday I worked.
Amanhã eu vou trabalhar.	Tomorrow I will work.
Ontem eu comi pizza.	Yesterday I ate pizza.
Ontem eu estudei português.	Yesterday I studied Portuguese.
Amanhã eu vou estudar espanhol.	Tomorrow I will study Spanish.
Ontem eu fui ao supermercado.	Yesterday I went to the supermarket.

Past endings. For "I" in the past, -ar verbs take -ei (trabalhei) and -er/-ir verbs take -i (comi). The verb "to go" is irregular here: fui = "I went".

DiálogoWork talk

AVocê trabalhou ontem?Did you work yesterday?

BSim, trabalhei o dia todo.Yes, I worked all day.

AVocê vai trabalhar amanhã?Will you work tomorrow?

BNão, amanhã vou descansar.No, tomorrow I will rest.

💡 Tip The whole spoken future is just vou / vai + verb. Master those two words and you can talk about the future the moment you leave this page.

Your first real conversation

Everything so far, woven into one natural chat — plus the Brazilian magic words.

This is the finish line — and the starting line. Here everything comes together: greet, introduce yourself, ask a question, share something about yourself, and say a warm goodbye. Read the whole dialogue aloud until it flows.

Palavras mágicasThe Brazilian magic words

Portuguese	English
Tudo bem?	How's it going? lit. "all well?" — also the reply
Legal!	Cool! / Great!
A gente vai…	We're going… "a gente" replaces "nós" in speech — with a singular verb

Tudo bem? is the swiss-army greeting: it asks "how are you?" and also answers it. And a gente ("we", literally "the people") is what Brazilians actually say instead of nós — but it takes the he/she verb form: a gente vai.

ConversaThe full conversation

AnaOlá! Tudo bem?Hello! How's it going?

YouEstou bem, obrigado. E você?I'm fine, thank you. And you?

AnaQual é o seu nome?What is your name?

YouMeu nome é Ana.My name is Ana.

AnaDe onde você é?Where are you from?

YouSou do Brasil.I'm from Brazil.

AnaVocê gosta de música?Do you like music?

YouSim, eu gosto muito.Yes, I like it a lot.

AnaFoi um prazer conversar com você.It was a pleasure talking to you.

YouIgualmente! Até logo!Likewise! See you later!

💡 Tip When you're not sure what to say next, Tudo bem?, Legal! and a smile carry you a long way. Fluency is built one small conversation at a time — you now have everything you need to start.
