We offer Brazilian Portuguese classes at most Common European Framework levels, starting from A1.1 (suitable for complete beginners), all the way to B2+, which offers students a very good knowledge of complex grammatical structures and wide-ranging vocabulary. Classes are taught by qualified native speakers, with a focus on communicative learning, to help you achieve fluency in the language of your choice.
