Portuguese Classes

Learn Portuguese
Effectively and Engagingly at the Academy

Personalized Online Classes for all levels, from beginners to advanced.

Learning Portuguese can be challenging and often boring.

Beginners have difficulty acquiring the basics of the language, while advanced students are looking to improve their language skills.

Like you, I have also gone through different stages in learning foreign languages and I know you identify with some of the following questions:

Are you looking for personalized support to learn Portuguese?

Do you seek small group classes where you can share experiences, questions, and needs?

Do you want individual classes that adapt to your preferences and individual needs?

Are you looking for conversation courses suitable for your level?

Do you need flexible schedules to fit Portuguese classes into your routine?

Do you want to simplify difficult concepts and have a clearer approach?

Do you need a dynamic and diversified teaching method to stay motivated and active during classes?

At the Academy, you have access to EUROPEAN PORTUGUESE classes for all proficiency levels, from beginners to advanced students who want to “polish the last edges“.

The classes can be individual or in groups, according to each student’s needs and preferences.

They only take place online, with no possibility of in-person classes

The teaching method is based on the 3Ds (didactic, dynamic, and diversified), ensuring that the classes are always interesting and engaging.

We aim to make Portuguese language teaching easier and more understandable, simplifying difficult concepts and presenting them clearly.

What is the difference between the levels?

a1 - a2

BEGINNER

I know a few words and simple phrases but have difficulty understanding and forming my questions.

I can express myself in daily situations but still have trouble following slow and clear dialogues.

b1 - b2

INTERMEDIATE

I can use advanced vocabulary, but sometimes I struggle to find the right words. Participating in conversations about current affairs is challenging. I understand increasingly longer texts.

I can argue different points of view, but sometimes have difficulty expressing my arguments.

c1 - c2

ADVANCED

I can use a wide range of vocabulary and when I don’t know a word, I use synonyms easily. I can express myself clearly and precisely, even though I still make some grammatical errors. I am producing increasingly cohesive and well-structured written texts. I can critically analyze information and argue. I use idiomatic expressions and figurative language in a sophisticated manner.
