IELTS / TOEFL English for Brazilians (PT-BR) — 2504 Cards · Not CIPLE

**Brazilian Portuguese (PT-BR) speakers** preparing **IELTS** (Academic or General Training), **TOEFL iBT**, Cambridge English (B2 First / C1 Advanced-style lexis), or **PTE Academic** for study abroad, skilled migration, or professional registration. Typical Brazil-outbound cases:

- **Canada** — Express Entry / SDS-style IELTS sittings (confirm your program’s exact IELTS or TEF/TCF rules separately) - **Australia** — student or skilled IELTS / PTE pathways - **UK** — UKVI IELTS where required for study or skilled routes - **United States** — graduate and professional **TOEFL iBT** score bands - **Europe** — university English thresholds that accept IELTS, TOEFL, Cambridge, or PTE

This product is **English vocabulary Anki with PT-BR support**. It is not a CIPLE / CAPLE European Portuguese citizenship deck, not Celpe-Bras, and not an ENEM English reading course.

- **Front:** English headword (+ image where included) - **Back:** Brazilian Portuguese (PT-BR) gloss, bilingual example sentence, native English audio - **Drill rule:** hear English → guess meaning in English → only then open the PT-BR gloss

Free AnkiWeb dumps labelled “Inglês–Português” are usually tourist phrases, phrasal-verb dumps, or undated frequency lists without IELTS/TOEFL framing. This listing ships **2,504** exam-frequency cards from the Prep2Go bank as one Gumroad `.apkg` at **$26**.

PT-BR speakers often “understand” a passage because Portuguese lookalikes feel familiar — then choose the wrong option because the English sense differs. Drill these as English-first (examples of traps this bank helps you notice — not a closed false-friend list):

| Portuguese lookalike | Wrong English guess | Exam-safe English sense | | --- | --- | --- | | *atual* | “actual” | **current / present** | | *pretender* | “pretend” | **intend / plan** | | *assistir* | “assist” | **watch / attend** (assist = help) | | *procurar* | “procure” (overformal) | **look for / seek** | | *êxito* | “exit” | **success** | | *relatório* | “relatory” | **report** | | *eventual* | “eventual” meaning “possible” | Portuguese often means **possible / potential**; English **eventual** usually means **ultimate / final** | | *compromisso* | “compromise” | **appointment / commitment** (compromise = acordo) |

Anki forces spaced English recall so you stop translating under Listening/Reading time pressure.

| Goal | Typical English proof | How this deck helps | | --- | --- | --- | | Canada study / skilled | IELTS (or French TEF/TCF — separate) | Shared high-frequency Academic/General lexis | | Australia study / skilled | IELTS or PTE | Same bank; pair with official timed sections | | UK study / skilled | UKVI IELTS when required | Word knowledge only — not UKVI booking or format coaching | | U.S. graduate school | TOEFL iBT | Academic vocabulary overlap with IELTS Reading | | Portugal nationality | CIPLE / CAPLE (PT-PT) | **Wrong product** — use the CIPLE Anki instead |

| Weeks | Daily Anki | Pair with | | --- | --- | --- | | 1–5 | ~25 new cards/day + reviews | One official Listening or Reading section each weekend (British Council / IDP / ETS) | | 6–7 | New cards taper; clear “Again” queue | Full practice test under timed conditions | | 8 | Reviews only | Re-learn every word you missed on the last mock |

Always play English audio before reading the PT-BR gloss. If you still need Portuguese on the back after week 4, tag those cards and review them twice on weekdays. Do not treat ENEM English passages as a substitute for IELTS Academic Reading timing.

- Mapping every cognate 1:1 (*atual* → “actual”) under exam time pressure - Skipping English audio because the written word “looks like Portuguese” - Studying tourist Inglês–Português AnkiWeb packs instead of IELTS/TOEFL-frequency lexis - Buying a **CIPLE** or **Celpe-Bras** product when the real goal is IELTS/TOEFL for Canada, Australia, the UK, or the U.S. - Confusing this listing with the **LatAm Spanish-gloss** or **Russian-gloss** English sibling packs

- Not **CIPLE A2 / CAPLE** European Portuguese (PT-PT nationality language) - Not **Celpe-Bras** (Portuguese proficiency for non-native speakers) - Not **ENEM** English reading prep for Brazilian university entrance - Not **European Portuguese** glosses — this edition is **PT-BR** - Not a Writing Task 2 scorer, Speaking partner, or timed mock exam - Not official IELTS, ETS TOEFL, Cambridge Assessment, or Pearson PTE material

| Product | Gloss | Use when | | --- | --- | --- | | **This deck** | PT-BR | Brazilians on IELTS / TOEFL / Cambridge / PTE | | [English for Spanish speakers](/decks/ielts-toefl-english-for-spanish-speakers-anki-deck) | LatAm Spanish | Spanish-gloss IELTS/TOEFL bank | | [CIPLE A2 European Portuguese](/decks/ciple-a2-european-portuguese-anki-deck) | PT-PT | Portuguese nationality language — **not** IELTS English |

Each URL has its own samples, FAQs, and Gumroad permalink. Google treating them as near-duplicates is wrong: the exam target and gloss language differ.

Prep2Go app bank (**2,504** cards, **Brazilian Portuguese** glosses) with UniPrep2Go IELTS/TOEFL framing on Gumroad at **$26** — instant `.apkg`, cognate-trap study notes, not a Lemon-only listing, not AnkiWeb tourist packs, not CIPLE / Celpe-Bras / ENEM, and not a demonym-swapped Spanish or Italian sibling page.
