* THE SCIENCE BEHIND MINDSNACKS *

At MindSnacks we like to keep it fun, but we’re serious about learning. That’s why our Portuguese app includes 9 challenging games designed by Ivy League professors. Each game teaches a specific aspect of Portuguese, creating a well-rounded learning experience for both kids and adults that goes far beyond basic vocabulary flashcards.

Of course studying is only worth it if it works, so our unique algorithm reinforces the learning process using proven methods from the field of memory studies. Over time, the games adapt to your individual performance, selectively repeating Portuguese words, phrases and grammatical points with which you’ve previously struggled. In other words, as you learn Portuguese, the app learns about you for a more effective learning experience.

Perfect for beginning and intermediate learners, MindSnacks lets you learn Portuguese at home, on the bus or during lunch breaks. You’ll soon spend less time looking at that translation dictionary and more time letting those Portuguese words roll right off your tongue.
