Does Memrise Have European Portuguese?

Does Memrise have European Portuguese? Yes, it does. Memrise lists a dedicated Portuguese (Portugal) course as a separate track from its Brazilian one (checked July 2026), so unlike Duolingo or Babbel you are not stuck learning the wrong dialect by default. The best part is the short clips of real Portuguese people saying each phrase, which is strong training for a Lisbon or Porto accent. So yes, if you want to drill Portugal-accent vocabulary on the cheap, Memrise genuinely covers European Portuguese and is a fair pick for that job.

Where Memrise stops is your actual life. The decks are fixed, so you learn its phrases in its order, grammar is barely explained, and there is no way to hand it the sentence on your landlord's note and get it back as a card. For a full account of what the course does well and where it leaves gaps, see the full Memrise European Portuguese breakdown.

Credit where it is due: Memrise ships a real Portugal course, and the native clips are great for your ear. It just cannot build a card from the sign on your street.
