Question 1

How does this fit alongside my iTalki / Preply tutor?

Accepted Answer

That's exactly what Sotaque Brasileiro is built for. Your tutor is for live conversation and feedback; we're for the time between sessions. Use the AI chat to practice what your tutor just taught you, work through structured lessons from A1 to C2, and arrive at your next class ready to go. Most students keep their tutor and add us as the daily practice layer.

Question 2

Is this Brazilian Portuguese, or European?

Accepted Answer

100% Brazilian. The audio, vocabulary, slang, cultural context, and AI conversation partner are all Brazilian Portuguese. If you've tried Duolingo and felt like the Portuguese didn't match what you hear from your in-laws or partner, that's because most apps default to European Portuguese. Every lesson and chat here is built around the language Brazilians actually speak.

Question 3

How does the 7-day free trial work?

Accepted Answer

Sign up with an email — no credit card required. You get full access to the AI chat, structured lessons, and progress tracking for seven days. On day seven you choose whether to subscribe; if you don't, the trial ends and we don't charge you. We won't surprise-bill you because we never asked for your card.

Question 4

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can cancel from your account settings in two clicks, and you keep access until the end of the period you've already paid for. Monthly plans stop renewing immediately; annual plans don't auto-renew once cancelled. No retention calls, no friction. If the course isn't earning its keep, we'd rather you leave happy and come back later than feel trapped.

Question 5

Is the AI conversation partner actually good?

Accepted Answer

It's built around a Brazilian-Portuguese system prompt with a daily message cap so it stays affordable, and every model update goes through native-speaker review before it reaches your chat. It's not a tutor replacement — it won't give you the cultural reads or pronunciation feedback a human gives — but for low-stakes daily practice on vocabulary, sentence structure, and confidence, it's the cheapest reps you can get.

Question 6

What's in the curriculum?

Accepted Answer

48 units across all six CEFR levels (A1 through C2), covering beginner to advanced. Each lesson combines reading, audio, and short exercises — designed in 8-minute blocks. An optional 3-minute placement test routes you to the right starting point; if you skip it, you start at A1 and can jump ahead anytime.

Question 7

How does billing work?

Accepted Answer

Monthly is $19 USD and renews each month until you cancel. Annual is $171 USD billed once a year — that works out to about $14/month, a 25% discount. Both options give you the same product access. All prices are in USD and there are no setup fees, hidden costs, or long-term contracts. You can switch between monthly and annual from your account settings.
