Why 500 words specifically? Why not 200, or 2 000?

500 is the inflection point. The first 100 words cover roughly 50% of spoken Brazilian Portuguese token frequency (per Corpus do Português spoken-section counts) — that gets you ordering food and asking directions. Words 100-500 push you to roughly 75% coverage and unlock entire conversation domains: weather, transport, the body, daily life, emotions, the seventy most- used verbs in all six persons. Below 500, you can't describe your day in any detail. Above 500, you hit diminishing returns fast — word 1 001 is already below 0.01% and your time is better spent on input than on more flashcards. The honest path is: finish these 500, then watch 50 hours of comprehensible Brazilian Portuguese (Easy Portuguese on YouTube, Carioca Connection, Porta dos Fundos with subtitles) before reaching for word 501.

The audio — is it a real Brazilian voice or a robot?

It's your operating system's built-in Brazilian Portuguese text-to-speech voice, routed through the browser's Web Speech API at lang="pt-BR". macOS ships Luciana (Brazilian, Apple's native recording) and Felipe — both excellent. Windows uses Maria / Daniel from Microsoft. Linux falls back to espeak which sounds noticeably robotic; install mbrola-br1 / mbrola-br4 for a major upgrade. We don't ship our own audio files because (a) it would balloon the page past the 28 KB budget, and (b) your OS Portuguese voices are already near-broadcast quality and free. The tool just forwards whatever pt-BR voice you have configured.

Brazilian Portuguese vs European Portuguese — which one does this teach?

Brazilian Portuguese (PT-BR) — specifically the standard São Paulo / Rio composite used by Globo News, the most widely understood Brazilian accent. The 100 core words here are essentially identical in European Portuguese (PT-PT); the obvious lexical splits ("ônibus / autocarro" for bus, "trem / comboio" for train) aren't in the core 100. Where the two diverge is in pronunciation (Brazilian opens unstressed vowels, European reduces them sharply), use of tu vs você (Brazil uses você everywhere with third-person conjugation; Portugal still uses tu with second-person conjugation), and gerund (Brazilian: estou comendo; European: estou a comer). We give the full tu / vós paradigm in every verb card anyway so a European Portuguese learner can recognize the forms when reading literature or hearing Lisbon speech — but the audio and example sentences are Brazilian.

Why mark masculine / feminine (o / a) on every single noun?

Because Portuguese agreement cascades the same way Spanish does. "Um gato preto" (a black cat, m) vs "uma gata preta" (a female black cat, f) — the article, the adjective, even the adjective ending all change with the noun's gender. Most -o words are masculine (gato, livro, vinho) and most -a words are feminine (casa, água, mesa) — that rule is about 95% reliable, but trap words exist: o dia (day, m), o problema (problem, m), a mão (hand, f), o sistema (system, m). We mark m / f on every noun card from day one so you learn the gender at the same time as the word — much harder to retrofit a year later.

What's the difference between "ser" and "estar" if they both translate as "to be"?

Portuguese splits "to be" the same way Spanish does — and the boundary lines up almost 1:1. Ser is for permanent / defining properties (eu sou estudante / sou brasileiro / sou alto). Estar covers temporary states, locations, and progressive aspect with the gerund (estou cansado / estou em São Paulo / estou comendo — "I am eating right now"). Beginner rule of thumb: if the property could change in the next ten minutes (mood, weather, location, what you're doing this second), reach for estar. For identity, profession, nationality, characteristics — default to ser. Both verbs are in the 100-word list with full conjugation tables so you can compare them card-by-card.

Are the IPA marks (/ˈ/, nasal vowels, /ʁ/) really worth learning?

Yes — Brazilian Portuguese has phonological features that aren't in Spanish or Italian and that English speakers systematically miss. The nasal vowels (ão, ã, em, im, om, um) aren't optional; "mão" (hand, /mɐ̃w̃/) and "mau" (bad, /maw/) are different words. The /ʁ/ at the start of a word or after n is the trademark Brazilian "h" sound (rio, carro, honra), NOT the rolled Spanish r. And final unstressed -e is pronounced /i/ in most of Brazil ("noite" sounds like "noit-chi", not "noi-tay"). Every card shows IPA so you can see these features card-by-card, but if you only learn one thing from the IPA, learn to nasalize ão. It's the most identifiable Brazilian sound.

Cram the CELPE-Bras A1 oral interview in two weeks

Your exam slot is in 14 days and you can name maybe 40 words. Filter to greetings, family, daily life, and emotions, run 30 cards a day with the play button on each, and star the ones you fumble. By day 10 you can answer "fale sobre sua rotina" with real verbs instead of pointing. The gender marks save you from the classic "a problema" slip the examiner always catches.

Stop saying "eu está" before your first Rio trip

Tourists who learned Spanish first collapse ser and estar into one verb and freeze at the hotel desk. Open both verb cards side by side, read the six-person tables out loud, and drill the rule of thumb: location and mood take estar, identity takes ser. Twenty minutes a day for a week and "estou perdido, onde fica a praia?" comes out without a stall.

Teach a beginner class without printing flashcards

You run a Saturday Portuguese group of eight adults and the photocopier budget is gone. Project the tool, filter to one category per session (numbers one week, food the next), tap play so the room hears the pt-BR voice nasalize ão together, and send students the search box to review at home. No login, no handout, nothing for them to lose on the bus.

Fix the gender of 30 trap nouns you keep getting wrong

You have spoken Portuguese for a year but still say "o mão" and "a problema". Search each trap word (dia, problema, mão, sistema, mapa), read the m/f mark and the example sentence, then star it. Review only your starred list for ten minutes each morning. The localStorage list survives browser restarts, so a month of short sessions retrains the agreement your ear learned wrong.

What this tool does

500 hand-picked A1-A2 Brazilian Portuguese words across fifteen categories: greetings, numbers (one to a billion), weekdays, months, family, food, colors, animals, body parts, weather, transport, daily life, emotions, the seventy most-used verbs with full present- indicative conjugation (ser / estar / ter / ir / vir / fazer / dizer / ver / saber / poder / querer / dar / pôr / trazer / ouvir / dormir / pedir / perder…), forty-plus adjectives with feminine forms, and the prepositions you can't build a sentence without.

Sources are public and named: Davies & Preto-Bay's "A Frequency Dictionary of Portuguese" (Routledge 2008, covers PT-BR and PT-PT), Mark Davies' Corpus do Português (corpusdoportugues.org), the CELPE-Bras A1+A2 syllabus from Brazil's Inep/MEC, and Bechara's "Moderna Gramática Portuguesa" for every irregular verb.

Each card shows Brazilian spelling (post-2009 orthography), IPA in the São Paulo / Rio standard, EN + ZH meanings, part of speech with m / f marking on every noun, an example sentence with EN + ZH translations, and for verbs the full six-person presente do indicativo table. The play button routes through your browser's built-in pt-BR voice (Web Speech API, no signup, no audio download). Filter by category, search across Portuguese / English / Chinese, and star words for a private localStorage study list. Nothing leaves your browser.

500 is the inflection point: A1 (first 100) gets you ordering food and asking directions; A2 (100-500) lets you describe your day, family, job, and feelings. Pair with comprehensible input (Easy Portuguese, Carioca Connection, Porta dos Fundos with subtitles) and you'll hold ten-minute conversations within three months.

Real-world use cases

Cram the CELPE-Bras A1 oral interview in two weeks
Your exam slot is in 14 days and you can name maybe 40 words. Filter to greetings, family, daily life, and emotions, run 30 cards a day with the play button on each, and star the ones you fumble. By day 10 you can answer "fale sobre sua rotina" with real verbs instead of pointing. The gender marks save you from the classic "a problema" slip the examiner always catches.
Stop saying "eu está" before your first Rio trip
Tourists who learned Spanish first collapse ser and estar into one verb and freeze at the hotel desk. Open both verb cards side by side, read the six-person tables out loud, and drill the rule of thumb: location and mood take estar, identity takes ser. Twenty minutes a day for a week and "estou perdido, onde fica a praia?" comes out without a stall.
Teach a beginner class without printing flashcards
You run a Saturday Portuguese group of eight adults and the photocopier budget is gone. Project the tool, filter to one category per session (numbers one week, food the next), tap play so the room hears the pt-BR voice nasalize ão together, and send students the search box to review at home. No login, no handout, nothing for them to lose on the bus.
Fix the gender of 30 trap nouns you keep getting wrong
You have spoken Portuguese for a year but still say "o mão" and "a problema". Search each trap word (dia, problema, mão, sistema, mapa), read the m/f mark and the example sentence, then star it. Review only your starred list for ten minutes each morning. The localStorage list survives browser restarts, so a month of short sessions retrains the agreement your ear learned wrong.

Common pitfalls

Treating ser and estar as interchangeable. "Eu sou cansado" means you are a tiring person, not tired; for mood and location use estar (estou cansado).
Guessing noun gender from the ending without checking traps. The -a in problema and the -o in nothing-suffix mão fool the 95% rule, so read the m/f mark on every card.
Skipping the IPA on nasal vowels. If you read mão as "mau", a Brazilian hears "bad" not "hand"; tap play and copy the nasalized ão before moving on.

Privacy

Everything runs in your browser. The words ship inside the page, the play button calls your operating system's built-in pt-BR voice through the Web Speech API, and your starred study list lives in localStorage on this device only. No account, no upload, no external API, and your search terms never enter the URL or reach any server.
