🇧🇷 Discover the verbs, expressions, and phrases that unlock real communication
Build Your Portuguese with Full-Sentence Flashcards for Real-Life Conversations 🚀
Build your Brazilian Portuguese with flashcards that use the verbs dar, fazer, and querer in full sentences.
Not just any sentences. You’ll grow your vocabulary and your ability to express yourself with Brazilian expressions that come up all the time in conversation, but don’t translate word for word.
Learn how to say more and say it naturally in Brazilian Portuguese.
Grow your ability to say more with three powerful verbs 💪🏼
This course uses dar, fazer, and querer as a gateway to expand your Portuguese with real phrases that go far beyond verb drills.
Inside you'll find 180 flashcards with full sentences, 30 for each verb and tense combination (present and past tense).
These sentences are designed to build your Portuguese. I’ve chosen words and expressions that aren’t always obvious, but are essential for expressing yourself and understanding your Brazilian friends in conversations across work, life, and everything in between.
How these flashcards help you grow your Portuguese:
- Absorb dozens of Brazilian expressions you can’t translate literally
- Learn practical vocabulary you’ll actually use in real-life conversations
- Practice the verbs dar, fazer, and querer in the present and past tense through full sentences
- Expand your ability to say more, and to say it clearly, naturally, and in context
- Feel more confident putting sentences together with better structure and flow
This is what learning looks like here
Let’s look at an actual example so you can see how the flashcards work — and how much you’ll learn from just one.
Front of the card:
👉🏼 I stop by my grandmother’s whenever I can.
Back of the card:
👉🏼 Eu dou um pulo na casa da minha avó sempre que eu posso.
This sentence teaches you so much more than just a verb conjugation:
- You’ll learn the Brazilian Portuguese expression dar um pulo, which is how we say “to stop by”.
- You’ll see how we say “at my grandmother’s,” since we don’t use possessive forms like English does.
- You’ll understand how we express “whenever I can,” which is a useful expression to have up your sleeve.
Full-sentence flashcards that go beyond verb drills
Here’s another example to show how much you can learn from each card
Front of the card:
👉🏼 The book should get here in a couple of days. I placed the order yesterday.
Back of the card:
👉🏼 O livro deve chegar em uns dois dias. Eu fiz o pedido ontem.
From this one card, you’ll learn:
- How to say “should get here” naturally in Portuguese
- How we say “place an order”; notice we say it completely differently
- How to express “in a couple of days”, which doesn’t follow the English pattern
- And depending on your level, you will also pick up or reinforce lots of vocabulary
You’ll also get:
- Lifetime access to the course and the flashcards.
- A student community space where you can ask me questions and get feedback.

A Personal Note: Why I Believe in These Flashcards
If you are learning Brazilian Portuguese to connect with people you care about, you probably want to sound like yourself.
And that includes using verbs correctly, naturally, and with ease.
When I first started teaching 1-on-1 Portuguese lessons, I created flashcards with full sentences at home. I’d print them on simple index cards and bring them to my classes.
My students loved them. I remember clients telling me they would carry the cards in their pocket, review them on the subway, or pull them out between meetings.
For years, I dreamed of bringing this idea into a digital format to help more learners. And now, I finally did!
I have been teaching Brazilian Portuguese for almost 20 years, including at UC Berkeley and the University of San Francisco.
Over the years, I have seen how much this kind of targeted, thoughtful practice can help learners move forward.
I created these flashcards to give you a simple, effective way to put verb conjugation on autopilot in a meaningful way and to enjoy the process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this help me if I already know the conjugations but struggle to use them in conversation?
Yes! And this is exactly what it’s designed for. If you’ve memorized conjugation charts but freeze up when it’s time to speak, these flashcards are the missing link. You’ll use the verbs in full, meaningful sentences, again and again, in context. You’re not just learning conjugation; you’re building the muscle memory of real Portuguese. It’s about training your brain to produce the language naturally, not just recognize it.
Is this practice just for verb conjugation, or will I also learn new vocabulary?
You will definitely learn more than verb conjugation, but how much you get out of it depends on you. The flashcards are designed with full sentences that include everyday vocabulary, idiomatic expressions, and lots of natural language. If you pay close attention, you will notice differences in structure, in the way pronouns, prepositions, and articles are used. You can dig deeper on your own or with your teacher to learn even more from each sentence.
What level of Portuguese do I need for this?
This course is best for intermediate learners and up, people who are already forming sentences and have a solid vocabulary base.
If you’re comfortable reading in Portuguese, recognizing common verb forms, and understanding the general flow of a sentence, you’ll do great here.
Beginners are welcome, but this is not a step-by-step introduction to grammar or vocabulary.
You’ll be working with natural, full sentences, the kind we Brazilians actually say. And you'll be picking up new expressions, phrasing, and structure along the way.
If you’re a beginner with a sense of adventure, curiosity, and the willingness to learn by seeing things in context, you’ll get a lot out of it.
This is not about perfection. It’s about exposing yourself to rich, useful language and growing your Portuguese in a deeper, more natural way.
