It depends on your needs. Those who have benefited from these lessons have been those moving or investing overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people who love to travel all over the world, those interested in Portuguese culture and those who just want to pass a specific examination in Portuguese.

Typical students include those concerned with imports and exports, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even in our most rudimentary lesson for beginnners, students can expect to finish with decent telephone and e-mail Portuguese, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country where the language is spoken.

portuguese Songs
Sozinho- Caetano Veloso
Caetano Veloso is a prolific Brazilian artist that produced jewels like Sozinho. This is a great song for beginner and intermediate-level students of Portuguese looking to increase their vocabulary and improve their listening comprehension while listening to beautiful, catchy songs. Sozinho (in English, Alone) talks about being alone but not lonely and urges listeners to take advantage of the time you have available to get to know yourself better, so it has a great message. Plus, you’ll pick up some words related to moments of the day like noite (the night), de manha (in the morning) or meio dia (noon). Listen to the song here!portuguese Songs
Mas que Nada- Jorge Ben Jor
Jorge Ben Jor’s top hit is Mas que nada, a great song that is useful to practise your Portuguese skills and learn new vocabulary in context. Beginners will certainly benefit from this song because it’s sung using the present simple tense and doesn’t use complicated structures. Also, you can pick up some very common expressions, like tudo legal (everything is OK) or bom dia (good day). This song will also help you improve your pronunciation, as the singer has a clear accent and sings relatively slowly, allowing you to mimic the sounds easily as you sing along! Sing along to this romantic song!Aquarela- Toquinho
Toquinho is a bossa nova and pop composer from Sao Paulo, Brazil, who produced great music, like Aquarela, a song to put your Portuguese into practice. The song speaks about the poetic persona’s childhood, who remembers beautiful moments he spent with this family. So, it’s a great track to learn the colours, like yellow (amarelo), red (vermelho), blue (azul) and green (verde). The pace is slow and it has a catchy rhythm, so you will not only learn the language, but also you’ll brighten your day! Listen to the song here!portuguese Youtube Channels
