The type of courses we offer:

Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) General Portuguese

This set of Portuguese tutorials are less specific and more targeted for those who want to get a range of different things from learning Portuguese. Even though all novice students will cover survival Portuguese: as well as Portuguese to visit somewhere abroad to make solid contacts with the locals, what do you do from there? It depends on your needs. Those who have benefited from these lessons have been those moving or investing overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people who love to travel all over the world, those interested in Portuguese culture and those who just want to pass a specific examination in Portuguese.

Face-to-Face 1-to-1 (Individual) Business Portuguese

These Portuguese lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn Portuguese to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette. Once you have become more proficient, then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with imports and exports, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even in our most rudimentary lesson for beginnners, students can expect to finish with decent telephone and e-mail Portuguese, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country where the language is spoken.

All those involved must have around the same experience of the language, similar needs for areas of proficiency, and must be able to work at the same time and place. Bookings must be made for all students at the same time.

portuguese Songs

Amar pelos Dois - Salvador Sobral

Do you like jazz and are looking for new melodies in Portuguese to improve your language skills? Then, Amar pelos Dois is the track you are looking for. It talks about a man who lost the love of his life and describes all the hardships he has to endure to try to find it again. As it’s a track that talks about a lot of figurative situations and uses future subjunctive as in Se um dia alguém preguntar por mim (If one day someone asks me, say that I lived to love you), it’s more suitable for intermediate or advanced students. Check out the song here!

portuguese Songs

Tu e Eu- Diogo Piçarra

Looking to improve your European Portuguese skills while listening to a great song? Then, Tu e Eu is a great option for intermediate and advanced students to take their vocabulary to the next level, while improving their comprehension and pronunciation. This track is a romantic piece that describes the feelings between two childhood sweethearts that get together after decades of not seeing each other. With phrases like Se a idade não perdoar, e quando não me ouvires cantar, you’ll get to see how the future subjunctive is used in context, while learning pronunciation specific to Portugal. Check out the song here!

Meu Amor de Longe- Raquel Tavares

Are you looking to learn European Portuguese but find it hard to find TV series and songs that help you improve your pronunciation and comprehension? Look no further than Raquel Tavares’ music. Meu amor de longe, for example, is a fado song, characterised by a mournful tune that sings about the sea and a lost love. With this track, you’ll get familiar with saudades, a term that refers to a feeling of nostalgia about something that may or may not have happened. It’s also full of words about love and loss, so it’s a great chance to build up your vocabulary! Check out the song here!
