Field notes
The signup asks how a learner is currently studying, with options for a tutor, classes, an app, or not learning yet. The page says Bica revisits mistakes on following days and explicitly distinguishes its European Portuguese focus from Brazilian Portuguese. Its comparison remains an ongoing experiment: results are promised after testers join, not shown here.
