The Team at Portuguese Connection have been so wonderful. From pre-arrival to the classes themselves, everything has run smoothly thanks to the team. A special thank you goes to Laís who was our teacher for Brazilian Portuguese who was so supportive, she truly encouraged us to keep practicing and pushing ourselves to further our language acquisition (despite not being in Brasil, we really felt like our Brazilian Portuguese improved). The school is small but by no means does this reflect the quality of teaching. I look forward to returning in the future!

We have been taking Portuguese lessons with the Portuguese Connection for over five years. We started with nearly no Portuguese and last year passed the CIPLE exam (we only take lessons for 1 hour per week, but passed on our first attempt). We absolutely adore our teacher who we both think may be the best teacher we’ve had for anything anywhere. We strongly recommend Portuguese Connection!

This is the best language school I ever attended! I cannot recommend Portuguese connection enough to anyone from total beginner level to higher advanced level. I went all way from level A1 to B2 and can’t wait to continue with the classes after my summer break. The teachers are very competent and highly motivated. From the back office to the manager, everyone in this organization is super professional, friendly and helpful. The location of the school is as well outstanding. Principe Real is one of the best areas in Lisbon.

If you need to take the CIPLE exam I highly recommend the Portuguese Connection Language School! The teachers are outstanding, the staff supportive and the test prep invaluable. Thanks to everyone. :)

I did a one week immersion class in May that was excellent! Thanks to a short online test, I was placed with two others students at my level. Our wonderful teacher, Rafael, kept us engaged and covered a lot of material. He was very organized and good at drawing out conversation from each one of us.
I look forward to returning for more classes.
The location in the Principe Real neighborhood is very convenient and a fun area to explore. Highly recommend this school.

I have taken both online and in-person (in Lisbon) classes at Portuguese Connection Language School, and both were excellent! Initially I struggled with understanding the spoken language in class, but the teachers were always encouraging, and over time I began to comprehend more and more. The systematic language/grammar instruction plus more freeform discussions in Portuguese worked well to increase my knowledge of and ability to use the language, plus I enjoyed the occasional readings about Portuguese culture and history. My teachers were outstanding and the staff at the school friendly and helpful. I plan to return to Portuguese Connection Language School to continue my studies next year.

This school offers small classes and excellent teachers who engage and provide targeted skills for every student. I have had the opportunity to study when visiting for two years now and I can't wait to come back. Both the group and individual classes helped me make huge leaps in my Portuguese language skills and this time I felt comfortable speaking as well as in my comprehension. I studied with Eduardo, Deana and Andreia but had a chance to converse with other teachers in the hallway and on breaks as well as the staff. Everyone is helpful, friendly and geniunely want to help each student. I highly recommend the Portuguese Connection!

Acabei de estudar por duas semanas na escola Portuguese Connection. Foi uma experiência excelente! Os professores ajudaram-me muito para avançar na minha habilidade de falar e entender mais sobre a cultura do pais, sua literatura, seus costumes, sua política. Eles estavam muito entusiasmados para partilhar as suas experiências, e rapidamente entenderam quais eram as areas mais importantes para eu avançar. Tinha muitas oportunidades de falar para ficar mais confortável com a expressão oral. Os membros da administração também foram muito amigáveis, era como estar em familia. Definitivamente vou voltar para estudar mais nesta escola.

I highly recommend Portuguese Connection School. In October (2023) I took a four week course (4 hours daily). My two instructors (Andreia, Daniela) were SUPERB - very knowledgable, energetic and empathetic. Each lesson demonstrated their outstanding teaching skills. The School is well organised with a friendly atmosphere.

It was a very satisfactory experience and everybody a the school is super helpful and likable.
Performance of the teachers was overall excellent. Especially Raffael with his enthusiasm stands out.
The combination group/individual lessons worked perfectly for me, as at times the composition of the groups was a bit unfortunate. With sometimes other students hindering the progress. But of course, this can be controlled by the school only to a certain degree, and maybe other students might have thought the same about me.
All teachers give handy tips as for life in Lisbon as such, books, restaurants etc..
I enjoyed the park across the street as it was perfect for recreation between classes.
Bottomline, I wanted to make as much progress as possible in a month and was ready to roll up the sleeves. The teachers satisfied my needs perfectly. They adapted to my approach and were ready to push me.
I highly recommend Portuguese Connection language school!
