Portuguese Course Types


Super Intensive General Portuguese Courses
Our super intensive courses have five hours of tuition daily, from Monday to Friday.   These are held from 10.00 to 13.00 and 14.00 to 16.00.   Classes with fewer than four students will only be of four hours duration daily.  

Intensive General Portuguese Courses
Our intensive Portuguese group courses consist of 3 hours of tuition daily, from Monday to Friday for classes with a minimum of four students.   Classes with fewer than four students will be of two hours duration. 
Classes are usually held from 10.00 to 13.00 with a mid-morning coffee break.    There is a social programme of visits and activities organised on one afternoon a week.                                                                        


Non-intensive
Evening Courses

We run non-intensive evening courses with three hours of tuition weekly aimed mainly at the resident ex-pat community who work locally in Lisbon and are seeking to improve their Portuguese for professional reasons or in preparation for the official Portuguese examinations for Foreigners (Exames de Português Língua Estrangeira)

Individual PortugueseTuition
Students can take between 1 and 6 hours of individual tuition daily or combine an intensive  group course with 1 or more hours of individual tuition in the afternoons.   
The courses can be designed for the individual needs of each person.   Whether you want to develop your  Portuguese language skills for work or business, for technical reasons or simply for pleasure we can put together the right course for you.

                                                                                                 

Language Levels and how we teach
We offer courses at four broad levels: beginners, elementary, intermediate and advanced.   Students undertake a placement test at the start of the course and are graded according to the result. 
How do we teach?   There is no single way to learn a language.   Taking the communicative approach as a starting point, our teachers select the materials and techniques best suited to you and your needs.
