Our Portuguese programs feature high quality Portuguese language teaching, combining flexibility, competence and friendliness. Our programs aim to provide students with a full cultural and language experience. Teachers are  friendly yet highly professional. Refresher courses are held regularly to bring staff up-to-date in techniques and materials.

 The method places specific emphasis on language for communication. It can be described as structural/functional, the grammar and structures being taught and learned naturally, through practical usage.

Students are encouraged to use audio, video and library facilities in order to practice language skills.
