Will Duolingo Do European Portuguese?
Will Duolingo do European Portuguese? There is no announcement, and no timeline. As of July 2026, Duolingo's only Portuguese course is still Brazilian, with no Portugal course listed or promised on its courses page. The demand is not imaginary: a change.org petition asking Duolingo to add a European Portuguese course has been open since 2019 and keeps collecting signatures. But a petition is not a roadmap. Duolingo has never committed to it publicly, so planning your move to Portugal around a course that might arrive someday is a bad bet. If you need the Portugal dialect now, you do not have to wait for Duolingo.
We have no inside knowledge of Duolingo's plans, and neither does anyone else outside the company. What we do know is why the course is a hard sell for them commercially, which is worth understanding before you hold your breath. Here is the honest economics of why Duolingo does not have European Portuguese.
A petition open since 2019 tells you the demand is real. Duolingo's silence tells you not to plan your Lisbon move around it. Learn the dialect now, with something that already teaches it.
