Portuguese Facts

Portugal were responsible for the first ever Japanese dictionary translated into a European language - the 'Nippo Jisho', made in 1603

In South America, over half the population speak Portuguese

While Portuguese has many similarities in grammar and vocabulary with other Romance tongues, it is only really mutually intelligible for Spanish people - and even then communication is difficult

Portuguese 1 to 1 Business

These courses in Portuguese are meant for those that feel that learning Portuguese would make a change in their work. For starters, it is expedient to learn how to say hello/goodbye, as well as basic business protocol; once the basics have been mastered, reading and writing come to the fore. Students who have greatly benefitted have been involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where another language is required, and those working in the international academia and government circuits. Even on our most fundamental beginner's course, students can anticipate ending the course with basic telephone Portuguese and e-mail Portuguese skills for communicating, as well as survival Portuguese if a short visit to the country is needed.

Portuguese 1 to 1 General

This set of Portuguese tutorials are less specific and more targeted at those who want to get a range of different things from learning Portuguese. Even though all novice students will cover survival Portuguese: enough Portuguese to make a visit to the country or make good contacts with the locals, but what do you do from there? It depends on your needs. Those who have benefitted from these courses 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.

Jacksonville

The largest city in the state of Florida (and the largest city in the USA in terms of land area), the city is home to around 800,000 people. It is also home to one of the largest proportion of Filipinos in the country -just over 1% of the city's population has Tagalog as their mother tongue -the major language of the Philippines. Jacksonville is a rapidly-growing city rich in cultural diversity, with large communities of Asian, Hispanic and Arab speakers, meaning it's just the place to start learning a new language.

 

Portuguese Testimonials

"I'm planning a trip around Brazil next year with some friends, and we all wanted to learn some basic Portuguese. Our teacher was great - she made sure we were all up to date and we got better even faster by practicing with each other outside of classes. We can't wait to get to Brazil."
