- 4 slots this week, across all three levels
- 2 to 5 students per class, all at your level

Reconnect with Portuguese
The language of your parents, your grandparents or your partner. The one you want to pass on to your children.





- Finally understand what is said at the table, and answer back.
- Your in-laws speak Portuguese to you. Answer them in Portuguese.
A language is passed down from generation to generation. Now it is your turn.
Start for freeProgress in Portuguese between classes, at your own pace
Interactive lessons with native audio, vocabulary, dialogues and quizzes. Everything you need to reinforce your skills between live sessions.
Between classes, you move forward twenty minutes a day
Lessons follow one another in order, with no evening to set aside. Every word is recorded by a native speaker.
- 250 lessons across 58 modules, from beginner to advanced
- Native audio on every word, with a slow-down button
- Your progress is kept, on phone and on computer alike
You hear the language as it is actually spoken
The recordings are made by native speakers, not by a synthetic voice. The slow-down button separates the sounds when it goes too fast.
- Every sentence can be played and slowed down
- The transcription and translation sit under the audio
- You replay it as many times as you need, with no limit
Every module ends with a quiz, not with a ticked box
You are corrected on the spot, with the explanation. A failed quiz can be retaken, with no penalty and no record.
- Immediate correction, with the right answer explained
- An end-of-level test opens the next level
- A level certificate at the end of the course

“went to Lisbon in april with my brother. managed to handle hotels and all that on my own. 3 weeks of Targumi before we left 🇵🇹”
“Rio in October for my brother wedding. started in april, now I can hold basic convos with my sister-in-laws cousins. properly stoked”
“Week in Rio in July with my wife. loved being able to bargain in Brazilian Portuguese with street vendors, without looking like the tourist handing over a bill and smiling dumbly. Worth every penny”
“My new manager is Brazilian and she talks really fast. 4 months of Portuguese and I barely get lost in meetings anymore. Just the conference calls that are still tricky.”
“The Portuguese teachers are genuinely well-picked. Only issue: had to wait 3 weeks for my preferred slot to open up. The schedule fills fast.”
“my manager offered me a position in lisbon for 2 years. 4 months of classes later and I'm negotiating my contract in Portuguese 🇵🇹”
“Got transferred to São Paulo in February, went through the intensive track. 3 months later I can run meetings without an interpreter. Evening slots fill up fast, I book 2 weeks ahead now.”
“nigerian by origin but my whole mum's side lived in Portugal. grew up between two languages without really mastering either. finally got my portuguese up to speed here and the teachers never judged my accent. that mattered”
