Anki Word Bank
Best Portuguese Anki Decks in 2026
We build Portuguese Anki decks at Anki Word Bank. Portuguese is underserved in the Anki world relative to how many people learn it, and the free inventory has an extra trap the other Romance languages don't: the European vs Brazilian split. Here's how the options stack up.
Free Portuguese Anki Decks
AnkiWeb Shared Decks - The main free pool at ankiweb.net. Frequency lists are the most useful uploads. Two recurring problems: audio is rare, and many decks don't say whether they're European or Brazilian Portuguese. The vocabulary, pronunciation, and even pronouns differ enough that you should know which one you're learning before you start.
Sentence decks - A few Brazilian Portuguese sentence collections exist with audio. Fine as supplements; not frequency-ordered.
Paid Portuguese Anki Decks
Anki Word Bank - Portuguese Top 1000 - The 1,000 most common Portuguese words, frequency-ordered, with native audio and a contextual example sentence on every card. Available in 8 front languages. $5. ankiwordbank.com/decks/portuguese-top-1000-most-common-words-native-audio
Anki Word Bank - Portuguese A1 Vocabulary 460 - 460+ core beginner words with native audio and sentences, a gentler on-ramp than the full 1000. $4.99. ankiwordbank.com/decks/portuguese-a1-vocabulary-500
Refold PT1K - A curated ~1,000-word beginner deck (Brazilian Portuguese) with audio, around $30. Polished, English-front only.
You can preview cards and audio on every Anki Word Bank deck page before buying, so you can hear the accent before you commit.
Which one to pick
- Building core vocabulary fast: Portuguese Top 1000. The 1,000 most frequent words cover roughly 80% of everyday speech, and the core frequency list is largely shared between European and Brazilian Portuguese.
- Complete beginner: Portuguese A1 Vocabulary 460, then upgrade to the 1000.
- Zero budget: our free Portuguese Travel Phrases sampler shows the format, and the AnkiWeb frequency decks cover volume without audio.
- Your native language isn't English: our decks are the only Portuguese frequency option with non-English fronts (study Portuguese from Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, or Chinese). Spanish speakers in particular pick up Portuguese vocabulary extremely fast from a Spanish-front deck.
