What you get
Everyday scenarios and exam tasks
13 everyday exercises and 6 advanced ones with real exam task types, including the “Onde se diz?” phrase-to-place matching.
Transcripts
Listen first, answer, then read the transcript to catch what you missed.
Exam-room noise
The real test is played in a room full of candidates. One switch adds a quiet background hum so the day doesn't surprise you.
Exam-strict mock exams
In the mocks each recording plays exactly twice, with no pausing or scrubbing, like the real exam.
Listen to real exam-style audio
Three recordings from our mock exams, at the speed of the real test.
🎧 Mock exam 1: a phone call from school
🎧 Mock exam 3: a sleepover at a friend's house
🎧 Mock exam 8: a power cut at home

Questions
Is the audio European or Brazilian Portuguese?
European Portuguese, the accent and speed you'll hear in the exam.
How many times can I listen?
As often as you like in practice. In the mock exams each recording plays exactly twice, as in the real exam.
What is the exam-room noise switch?
It plays a quiet background hum under the audio, like chairs and air conditioning in the exam room. Try it a few times before the exam.
