Group Courses

Our group European Portuguese courses are the perfect choice for you if you are looking for an interactive experience. Besides the grammar, you will practise all the aspects of the conversational part of the language in the classroom alongside people with the same language goals as yours. This is the best way to learn the language if you are looking for a multicultural experience during 2022.

Individual Courses

Either you want to do those in person or online, you will have a one-on-one experience that is focused solely on your needs, objectives and improving your flaws.

Group + Individual Courses

This immersive way to study European Portuguese combines the benefit of both the group and private lessons and it’s the most effective way to learn the language. It will allow the student to practise all the conversational aspects in the group classes and perfect their flaws or focus on their interests in the private lessons.

A language school in Lisbon

Lisbon is the biggest city in Portugal and if you are looking to learn a language in Portugal, this is definitely the place to do so. If you look online, you’ll find that there are plenty of language schools in Lisbon. So how do you choose the right one?
Student approach
You want to learn the language and you want your case to be treated closely by everyone. For that, you need to find a school where everyone, from admin staff to the teachers, follows your progress and advises you according to that progress.
Environment
When you are looking for a language school you look for one thing: professionalism. That counts a lot in your decision, but it isn’t everything as you also certainly want to have fun while learning a language in a relaxed environment.
Flexibility
Balancing between work and personal life isn’t easy. When you join a language course to it, it gets even harder. That is why you need to choose the best option for you when it comes to a course, because attendance is the key to learning faster.
Reviews
Knowing what kind of experience the previous students have had is important when choosing a language school in Lisbon. Did they like the school? Do they recommend it? Check the school’s social media to read what they have to say.
