Why test your Portuguese?
Portuguese citizenship and residency
Portugal's citizenship and residency processes ask for A2 Portuguese, and Brazil's programs have their own requirements, so a free check tells you how much study stands between you and that threshold.
Working in Brazil or Portugal
Brazilian and Portuguese employers in client-facing or administrative roles usually expect working Portuguese, and a certificate gives them a fast way to confirm your level.
Connecting with over 250 million speakers
Portuguese is an official language across Brazil, Portugal, Angola, Mozambique, and beyond, and knowing your level helps you plan travel, study, or business plans across that entire community.

Common questions about the Portuguese test
The test adapts question difficulty to your answers, so it converges on your real CEFR level within 25 questions rather than giving a rough guess. It won't replace an official exam for visa or university purposes, but it gives an accurate read on where you currently stand in Portuguese.
No. You can start the test immediately without creating an account. Registration is only needed if you want to save your result history or purchase a certificate afterward.
The test itself is free. If you want an official PDF certificate with a verification QR code, it costs €8 (incl. EU VAT) and arrives by email within 30 seconds of payment.
Most people finish in about 25 minutes. The test has 25 adaptive questions covering grammar, vocabulary, and reading comprehension, and it ends as soon as it has pinpointed your level.
Portugal's citizenship process asks for A2 Portuguese as the minimum, verified through the CIPLE exam or an equivalent certificate. A free check here won't replace that official exam, but it tells you honestly whether you're close to A2 or still need focused study before you book it.
