Hello, I find your idea for this site very very nice, but unfortunately there are many mistakes in portuguese.

Like the spanish person was mentioning, if you are using automatic translation, you will get many mistakes in portuguese.

since I see that the spanish come and say "what a nice idea, but there are so many mistakes in spanish", and the french come and say "what a nice idea, but there are mistakes in french"...

And I see many mistakes in portuguese...

We've never used automatic translation. All translation were done by people and after that proof-reading was done. Unfortunately even in this case the mistakes still crawl in. All we can do is ask you to give us exact places where you see a mistake and we'll try to fix it when possible.

And thank you for your honest feedback, we'll direct our efforts on creating a mechanism of stomping those mistakes. Something like this: a user can click an icon next to a word and suggest that this word is incorrect; after that the site admin will either disable it (i.e. remove it from the lesson) or work on its correction. Correcting it is more problematic because there is an audio file recorded for this word already.
