Welcome to the PhraseBit Blog
Olá e bem-vindo ao Blog do PhraseBit!
I’m a Portuguese learner who recently sat the B1 European Portuguese exam and built my own study materials to prepare. I developed practice questions and writing ideas, with help from my Portuguese partner to refine and validate (and patiently acting as examiner while I repeated the same mistakes on loop, usually mixing up the perfect and imperfect past).
Taking the B1 exam felt like a bit of a stretch for me. I don’t live in Portugal and don’t have a lot of opportunity for full immersion in the language. Iterating over questions and writing is what really got me over the line. I passed the exam with “Bom” overall and “Muito bom” in the reading, speaking and writing sections. Listening in European Portuguese is still a mountain I’m climbing…
I realised these resources could benefit other learners who are also looking to get that extra practice in. That collection grew into PhraseBit, a simple web app designed to help with A1, A2, B1, and B2 exam practice. It started as a way to teach myself app development and has become a tool to share practical, exam-style practice for anyone aiming to build confidence and pass their language exams.
