About Portuguese

Portuguese is the official language of eight countries (Portugal, Brazil, Angola, Cape Verde, East Timor, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and São Tomé e Príncipe) and is also widely spoken in the Asian countries of Macau and Gao. It is the sixth most widely spoken language in the world, with more than 230 million speakers.

Why learn Portuguese?

·       Portuguese is very similar to other more common languages like Spanish and Italian so if you already know one of these languages, learning Portuguese will be easier because they share many similarities.

·       Learning Portuguese makes holidays abroad more enjoyable when you can converse with the locals in their own language. 

·       Studying Portuguese can help set you apart from the masses studying more popular languages and allow you to interact with a huge population that other language students cannot communicate with.

·       Learning Portuguese will prepare you to work in such diverse fields as planning and consulting, finance and banking, tourism and hospitality, information sciences, diplomacy, journalism, publishing, advertising, government, social services, media, law, linguistics, health, and the arts, just to name a few.

·       Portuguese & Spanish: the perfect pair. No matter what career path you choose, you will multiply your chances for success if you speak these two languages as they cover all of South America plus many other places in Europe, Africa, and Asia.

What you will learn in your Portuguese course at The Language School

Depending which level of course you study with us, you will learn a wide range of Portuguese vocabulary, grammar and expressions. We always ensure that the language taught in our lessons is useful and relevant with the main goal being to help you learn how to communicate confidently and effectively in Portuguese. You will study Portuguese in a variety of contexts and for a wide range of situations such as learning how to order food in a restaurant, make reservations and ask questions in Portuguese. We like to offer flexibility in our classes, so if there is something specific you would like to learn about in Portuguese you are more than welcome to make a request and our tutors will be more than happy to accommodate you.
