Cities / Portuguese / Brasília

Learn Brazilian Portuguese in Brasília

Brasília speaks a clear, neutral Brazilian Portuguese with its own words for a planned city: the superquadra, the bloco, the balão for a roundabout. Friends call each other véi, and good things are massa.

In Solvelingua you move to Brasília, find a home in Asa Sul, and learn Brazilian Portuguese the way people there speak it: by talking with the baker, your landlord, your boss and your friends, by voice or by typing. Everyone remembers you, and gentle feedback after each conversation shows what to say next time.
