Book now / InquiryThose who would benefit the most from these Portuguese tutorials are those who feel they need to learn Portuguese to help them out in their business lives. For starters, learning salutations and business etiquette is integral; once these have been practiced then reading and writing courses can start. Typical studiers have been those involved in international import/export, negotiations and acquisitions, those in multinational companies requiring another language, and those working in any way with international governments and relevant administration. Just our simplest course for beginners will have students finishing the lessons with basic telephone and e-mail Portuguese, as well as survival Portuguese should a visit to the country be necessary.
Book now / InquiryThese Portuguese lessons fit a broader spectrum, and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival Portuguese by the end of their course, which will provide them without enough Portuguese to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of Portuguese culture and those who just wish to pass a particular Portuguese exam.

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."
