Types of Portuguese Courses (PLE)
We present the various options and types of Portuguese courses for foreigners, designed to adapt to your rhythm, your goals, and your life in Portugal.
Standard Courses
The Perfect Balance Between Learning and Routine
If you’re looking for steady, consistent progress that fits in with your lifestyle, our Regular Courses are the ideal solution. This teaching model has been designed for those who live, study or work in Portugal and wish to integrate Portuguese into their daily routine naturally, without the stress of an intensive programme.
Why choose the standard format?
01
Consistent Pace
By attending classes twice a week, you ensure continuous exposure to the language. This format avoids long breaks between sessions, enabling more effective memorisation and the immediate application of what you learn in class.
02
Ideal Balance
It’s the perfect format for anyone with a busy professional or academic schedule. Two lessons a week allow you to balance your studies with your personal life, whilst maintaining your motivation in the long term.
03
Focus on Fluency
With a balanced schedule, our 90 or 120 minute lessons (depending on the level) allow for a gradual deepening of both grammar and conversation skills, developing the four core skills: reading, listening, writing and, above all, speaking.
Course Structure
Frequency: Twice a week (e.g. Tuesdays and Thursdays or Mondays and Wednesdays).
Session duration: 90 to 120 minutes per session (depending on the level).
Classes: Small groups to ensure that each student receives sufficient speaking time and personalised attention.
Methodology: Each week includes a mix of grammatical structures, themed vocabulary and conversation exercises based on real-life scenarios in Portugal.
What will you achieve?
Throughout the course, our curriculum is designed to help you progress naturally from one level to the next. With our guidance, you will move from your initial lack of confidence to being able to contribute in meetings, give presentations, deal with administrative matters and, most importantly, feel at home speaking Portuguese.
