Português europeu (pt-PT)

Português europeu (pt-PT): study notes

An index of the study sheets in this folder. They are written from my class notes (Portugal Language Speeking Notes.txt), the teacher’s handouts, the A2 workbook, and the linked videos and Wordwall exercises. All spelling is European Portuguese, following the 1990 Acordo Ortográfico.

The same material can be practised in the app: pixi run app → http://127.0.0.1:8000.
