Description

This course aims to enable you to communicate in Portuguese in everyday situations. It will revise and consolidate your knowledge of Portuguese at intermediate level and introduce new structures and vocabulary gradually. You will build up your confidence in all four skills, with the emphasis on speaking and listening, as well as learning new grammar and vocabulary.

What can students expect?

Learners will learn new expressions, verbs, vocabulary and grammar, and expand the language to new situations, with the aim to maintain a basic conversation with Portuguese native speakers, and to speak and interact with increased confidence. 

They will also keep learning about aspects of Portuguese culture and customs.
