POR & PARA: two tiny prepositions that look innocent, share the same translation, and still manage to cause emotional damage on a global scale.
Yes — both mean “for.” No — they don’t want to make your life easy.

In this crash course, you’ll finally understand that:
• POR is about the path: reasons, routes, prices, durations, and all the chaotic detours life throws at you.
• PARA is about the destination: goals, purposes, recipients, deadlines — the organized side of the universe.
• When you stop guessing and start choosing the right one, your Portuguese instantly sounds smarter (and your teacher silently celebrates).

Here you’ll find clear explanations, real examples, dramatic characters, and short sarcastic videos — because sometimes the only way to learn grammar is by laughing at your own confusion.

Take a deep breath.
POR & PARA are finally going to make sense.
