What You Learn

Portuguese you can actually use.

Classes are organised around real situations. Instead of memorising verb tables, you practise the conversations you will have this week.

Everyday conversation

Meeting people, small talk, making plans, restaurants and cafes, shopping and markets, getting around a city.

Living in Brazil

Renting an apartment, talking to landlords and building staff, doctors and pharmacies, banks, and government services.

Work and business

Meetings, calls, emails, presentations and workplace vocabulary for people working with Brazilian colleagues or clients.

Social life and culture

Dating and friendships, family gatherings, humour, regional differences, and the cultural context behind how Brazilians speak.

Slang and natural speech

The expressions people really use, including the informal Portuguese that textbooks leave out. You learn what to say and when.

Pronunciation and listening

Brazilian pronunciation, rhythm and connected speech, plus listening practice with real audio so fast conversation stops feeling like a wall.

Our Approach

Speaking and listening, not textbooks.

You speak from class one

Even as a complete beginner you leave the first class having said something useful in Portuguese.

Listening is half the work

Brazilians speak quickly and drop sounds. We train your ear from the beginning so real conversation stops being a shock.

Grammar when you need it

We teach grammar as a tool to say what you mean, at the moment it becomes useful. It is never the point of the class.

Cultural context included

Knowing the words is not enough. Teachers explain how things are actually said, and how they land.

Levels

Complete beginner to advanced.

Most of our Portuguese students start from zero. We check your level in the trial class and build from there.

Who teaches Portuguese.

Our Portuguese classes are taught by Brazilian teachers who work with foreign students. They teach Brazilian Portuguese as it is spoken, and they are used to explaining things to people starting from zero.

Online Classes
