Hey,

I’m also a Portuguese learner. Though I’m learning the Brazilian dialect which I see above you’re not.
I think that even if you follow the Duolingo course, you can learn a lot of the vocabulary. You just need to be aware of the differences in pronunciation. For example the softening of the D’s in Brazilian compared to the hard sound in European.
One thing that might help is adding one of the European Portuguese voices to your VO rotor so that you can hear each of the words in that dialect. That’s what I was doing whilst learning some Spanish on there as they teach the Latin dialect and I was interested in European Spanish.

I also recommend Memrise, that does have European Portuguese on there. The app has a few unlabelled buttons but once you figure out what’s going on it’s pretty usable and fun.

Also, once you start building up a bit of vocab, LingQ is a cool app. It is a bit fiddly in terms of accessibility but it offers a lot of spoken material to practise your listening skills around subjects that actually interest you.
Hope some of this is helpful :)

I'm enjoying learning Italian with Duolingo so far using VoiceOver on iOS. It has some accessibility hiccups, but overall once you get the hang of it it's quite a fun system to use with gamification and incentives to keep learning streaks going.

I personally I‘ve always learnt languages through courses at school (English, French, Spanish, Latin) and at uni (Swedish) and reading and listening to material in the language in my free time.
Apps are nice for the vocabulary, but I‘ve always found them to lack a comprehensive teaching of grammar. I can‘t really say anything about accessibility, because I work mostly with Zoom.

Hello, last year I studied basic French online. The teacher sent us audio files +1 Word document with the written translation and that way you also learned writing. In my case I use an iPhone and the advantage of the cell phone is that it allows you to change the language of your phone so that you hear the correct pronunciation. also on YouTube there are many courses with different languages ​​where they share downloadable documents with you.

have a look at my website over at $1. I have a guide on this up there.
