Duolingo Portugese

[JellySlice]

Many years ago I used to understand Portuguese, though I could not speak it. I want to learn a bit of Portuguese now, and had a look at Duolingo.

On Duolingo the flag for Portuguese is the Brazil flag. Aren't Portuguese Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese slightly different languages, with very different pronunciations?

Is there Portuguese Portuguese on Duolingo?

First, background about my own experience with the Portuguese language:

I attended Portuguese lessons long ago. First year I was taught by a guy from Portugal, second year the teacher was from Angola. Before then I had friends from Brazil, later on I got to know people from Portugal.

I have also done most of the Duolingo Portuguese course.

So, by no means am an utterly fluent speaker, but not entirely ignorant of the language either.

All that said: Duolingo only has Brazilian Portuguese.
In my experience, certainly there are differences between Brazilian and Portuguese Portuguese but they are not HUGE, and using the course would still be a perfectly reasonable thing to do even if Brazilian Portuguese is not what you were listening to earlier.
