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. Click each card to flip it over!
👉🏼 I stop by my grandmother’s whenever I can.
Click to Flip👉🏼 Eu dou um pulo na casa da minha avó sempre que eu posso.
Click to Flip BackThis 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.
Here’s another example to show how much you can learn from each card:
👉🏼 The book should get here in a couple of days. I placed the order yesterday.
Click to Flip👉🏼 O livro deve chegar em uns dois dias. Eu fiz o pedido ontem.
Click to Flip BackFrom 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

Why I Created These Flashcards
Oi, tudo bem? 👋 I’m Luciana.
When I first started teaching Portuguese, I created full-sentence flashcards for my students. I’d print them on simple index cards and bring them to class.
My students loved them. Some carried them in their pocket, reviewed them on the subway, or pulled them out between meetings whenever they had a few minutes to practice.
For years, I wanted to bring that idea into a digital format so more learners could benefit from it. Portuguese Builder is the result.
I’ve been teaching Brazilian Portuguese for nearly 20 years, including at UC Berkeley and the University of San Francisco.
These flashcards combine two things many learners struggle with: verb conjugation and vocabulary growth. My goal is to help you practice both at the same time through complete, meaningful sentences.
What’s Included in Portuguese Builder
Practice verb conjugation, expand your vocabulary, and learn new ways to express yourself through full-sentence practice using dar, fazer, and querer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this help me if I already know the conjugations but struggle to use them in conversation?
Yes. If you’ve memorized conjugation charts but freeze up when it’s time to speak, these flashcards can help bridge that gap. You’ll practice the verbs in full, meaningful sentences and see them used in context again and again. Instead of simply recognizing the conjugations, you’ll build confidence using them naturally in real communication.
Is this practice just for verb conjugation, or will I also learn new vocabulary?
You’ll learn much more than verb conjugation. The flashcards use complete sentences that expose you to vocabulary, expressions, and natural Portuguese in context. As you practice dar, fazer, and querer, you’ll also pick up new words, discover different ways to express ideas, and notice how Portuguese often structures sentences differently from English.
What level of Portuguese do I need for this?
Portuguese Builder is best suited for intermediate learners and above. The flashcards use complete, natural sentences, so you’ll be practicing conjugation while also expanding your vocabulary and discovering new ways to express yourself in Portuguese. Complete beginners may find the course challenging, since it is not a step-by-step introduction to grammar or vocabulary.
