Speak before you are ready.
Falora teaches the language of the city you moved to, in sentences you can say today. Portuguese, French, Spanish, Italian, German or Dutch: ten words a day, one short lesson, and a real exchange at the end.
Ten words on the way in.
Every morning brings ten words people say all the time, in the language of your city. Here are the first two in each. Tap one to hear it.
Coffee at the counter.
Every lesson ends in the real exchange. You see what you want to say in English, then hear it in Portuguese, spoken by someone from here.
É para aqui ou para levar?Eating in or taking away?- It’s to have here.É para aqui.
- Mais alguma coisa?Anything else?
- Nothing else, thanks.Mais nada, obrigado.
One order. Six languages.

I’d like a coffee, please.
The same coffee, the way each city says it. Every course is taught as its own country speaks, by people who live there.
Bonjour first. Then the bread.
