Built for the path

From CIPLE to DIPLE, one tense at a time.

The official Portuguese certifications expect you to handle specific tenses at each level. The trainer covers exactly the ground you need — nothing more, nothing slower.

A2 · CIPLE

The everyday core

Presente · Pretérito Perfeito

Talk about today and yesterday. Order coffee, describe your weekend, ask for directions — and pass the CIPLE.

B1 · DEPLE

Past lives & plans

+ Pretérito Imperfeito · Futuro

Narrate childhood, describe habits you used to have, and project clearly into the future. The DEPLE conversation level.

B2 · DIPLE

Nuance & hypothesis

+ Condicional

"Eu faria isso se…" — the conditional unlocks polite requests, hypotheticals and the register the DIPLE expects.

How it works

Spaced repetition, for verbs.

Every verb-tense pair is its own card. Get it right, the interval doubles. Miss it, it comes back tomorrow. No streaks-as-shame, no gamified noise — just the next form you're most likely to forget.

01

Type or recall

Two modes. Type grades each form, accepts an accent-only miss as a near-correct (or strict, if you flip the setting). Flashcard reveals the table and asks how you did.

02

6 boxes, 32 days

Cards move through boxes 0 → 5. Intervals stretch 1 → 2 → 4 → 8 → 16 → 32 days. A miss drops it back to box 0. Box 4+ is “mastered” — and the dashboard shows you how many per tense.

You set the pace

Choose how many new regular and irregular verbs land each day. Pick which tenses are active. Drop vós (it's archaic in pt-PT anyway). The trainer just builds today's session around your settings.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is pt-drill really completely free?

Yes, forever. No ads, no paywall, no premium tier, no upsell. Built by one person as a side project and hosted on free Cloudflare infrastructure.

Do I need to create an account?

No. The trainer works fully without one — progress saves in your browser. If you want progress to sync between phone and laptop, you can sign in with email (magic link, no password, no profile, no other personal data).

Does this teach European Portuguese (pt-PT) or Brazilian Portuguese (pt-BR)?

European Portuguese only. Pronoun forms, conjugation patterns, and vocabulary are all pt-PT. The 5-person model drops vós (archaic in everyday European usage).

Will this help me pass the CIPLE / DEPLE / DIPLE exam?

It targets the verb conjugation and vocabulary knowledge the Camões Institute syllabi require at A2, B1 and B2. Pair it with reading and speaking practice for full exam prep.

What's the difference between pt-drill and Duolingo, Memrise, or Babbel?

Single-purpose. Verb conjugation plus vocabulary for European Portuguese only. No gamification, no streak shame, no ads, no AI chat tutor, no paid tier. If those things slow you down in other apps, this might suit you better.

How does the spaced repetition work?

Leitner with six boxes (0 to 5). Intervals 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 days. A correct answer moves a card up one box and waits longer; a miss drops it back to box 0 (daily) until you have it.

Where does the grammar come from?

Vladimir Prus's open European Portuguese grammar reference at portuguese.vladimirprus.com. Every rule, paradigm, and worked example links back to his canonical pages.

What's inside

Five tenses. Every form.

European Portuguese in the 5-person model (no vós). Each card drills the full table for one verb in one tense — pronoun by pronoun, until the pattern sticks.
