Question 1

Is this European Portuguese or Brazilian?

Accepted Answer

Brazilian only. Every piece — the audio, the vocabulary, the slang and idioms, the cultural context, and the AI tutor you actually talk to — is real Brazilian Portuguese, never the European variant. It's the accent and culture your Brazilian friends, in-laws, or coworkers really use every day, not a generic textbook version.

Question 2

How is this different from Duolingo or Babbel?

Accepted Answer

Those apps teach generic or European Portuguese, and they stop at tapping. Sotaque is built exclusively for real Brazilian Portuguese, and its AI tutor talks back and corrects you as you speak — so you actually learn to hold a conversation.

Question 3

Do I still need a private tutor?

Accepted Answer

Not to make real progress — that's the whole point. Sotaque's AI tutor talks back in real Brazilian Portuguese and corrects you as you go, so you get daily speaking practice without booking a teacher or paying by the hour. If you already have a tutor, even better: use Sotaque between sessions and show up ready.

Question 4

How do the voice calls work?

Accepted Answer

You tap to call and actually talk out loud, in real time, with the AI tutor — like a phone call with a Brazilian friend. It listens, replies in real Brazilian Portuguese, and helps with your pronunciation as you speak. You get up to 30 minutes of voice a day, on top of the chat.

Question 5

How much time do I need each day?

Accepted Answer

As little as eight minutes. Lessons come in short, focused blocks, and a quick chat or voice call with the tutor fits into a coffee break. The whole idea is small and consistent — fluency is won in the days between, not in marathon sessions.

Question 6

How much content is there?

Accepted Answer

48 structured units and over 400 lessons spanning all six CEFR levels, from A1 to C2 — a real path from your first words to fluent. Lessons come in 13 formats (reading, dialogue, speaking tasks, flashcards, and more), most with real Brazilian audio, and an optional 3-minute placement test drops you in at the right starting point.

Question 7

Can I use it on my phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Sotaque runs in any browser — phone, tablet, or laptop — with nothing to install. Sign in and pick up right where you left off, whichever device is in your hand.

Question 8

What does the 7-day trial include?

Accepted Answer

Everything. For seven days you get full access to all the lessons, the AI chat tutor, and the real-time voice calls — no feature is held back, and no credit card is required to start. On day seven you decide whether to subscribe; if you don't, the trial simply ends and we never charge you.

Question 9

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Anytime, in a couple of clicks — no emails, no hoops. It's $19/month, and if you cancel you keep access until the end of the period you already paid for. Since the trial needs no card, you're never charged unless you choose to stay.
