Great language school with excellent teachers! I have been attending lessons online for about 5 months now and I couldn't be happier. The lessons are always very interesting and I am happy with my progress. Booking classes or contact the school, in general, is easy. Everyone at the school I have spoken to so far has been more than happy to help with requests or enquiries. I would like to highly recommend Portuguese Connection.

I had an amazing 2.5 months at Portuguese Connection school in Lisbon. Not only did the wonderful teachers teach/help me to pass my A2 exam with 80%, but I also learnt about Portuguese culture, food, history and much more. I can truly say it was an incredible experience and would recommend them to anyone. Whether you are visiting Lisbon for 2 weeks and want to learn Portuguese, or if you want to write a Portuguese exam - this is the school for you!

Great quality of teaching, fun classes and cultural activities too. The owners and all the teachers are helpful and always converse in Portuguese. I keep going back for intensive/individual classes! Highly recommended.

Helloooo everybody! My name Is Mariella I am Italian and I live in LISBON with my husband I realised at once how difficult could be to learn Portuguise here just speaking around . Portuguise people speak such a good English... That’s why I decided to follow courses in Portuguise Connection It was not the first choice but in a second moment I understood it was the best Just Portugues thought, excellent position in the heart of the city, flexibility in the timing and least but not last kindness ,professional and competency. It is thanks to all the teachers of the school if now I can speak fluently and I am thinking of applying for a master in history at LISBON University My life is fantastic because I am free to speak to everyone and so I can socialise much better and have many friends Thanks To everyone dear friends and see you soon P.S. I just want to underline the fact the fact that in Lisbon there are so many expats that after a lot of time don’t speak That is why I want to thank twice Portuguise Connection to make me speak so good

The level of teaching at Portuguese Connection is excellent, the atmosphere is like home away from home, and the personal touch the directors and teachers add to the learning experience is fantastic. They’ve created something really special, so much so that I never want this learning process to stop. 5 stars

Two weeks on intensive learning provided me with sufficient knowledge and confidence to speak the language daily and build on knowledge acquired. Excellent and very enthusiastic team of professionals to teach and assist you during your time at the college. I will definitely be back for the advanced language course in the new year. Um grande obrigado a todos na Portuguese Connection e até breve.

I enjoyed my seven weeks (October to December 2019) at Portuguese Connection so much that I am coming back for another nine weeks in the new year. It is real work: classes last for four hours in the morning, including a break; and there is an hour+ of trabalho para casa (homework). Classes are small groups, up to nine students. Some people were there almost all the time I was; others came and went. So you need to adjust a bit, but you do get to meet new people. Fellow-students came from Britain, Colombia, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Montenegro, Taiwan and Turkey. Ages ranged from 19 to 60+. Roughly equal numbers of men and women. You rotate through the school's teachers as your group teacher changes each week. You need to adapt to a new teacher, but you do get to hear a different voice and experience different teaching styles. Lessons are planned and handovers work reasonably well. The Director of Studies, Joana, will discuss your needs with you. In addition to group classes you can take individual classes - I did in the fortnight before an exam. That gives you the concentrated attention of a professora, but is another two hours of class work a day and additional homework. What I had not expected was how much I would enjoy it. The teachers are positive, enthusiastic, endlessly patient. Fellow-students are committed, cheerful and supportive. The language is not taught as it was when I was at school. Rather you are encouraged to talk Portuguese right from the outset, no matter how little you know (teachers explain points in Portuguese, though all can speak English when needed). All of us do our best. That makes it much more fun (and noisy). You advance a lot faster.

I highly recommend this language school. The atmosphere of the school is family like, with friendly classmates and teachers. After a test I was placed in the perfect class for me with a course which fulfilled my needs in terms of both conversation practice and improving my language skills (grammar, conjugation, spelling). Teachers or school staff generally come along with the students in the activities proposed by the school and that is also a pure bonus to practise the language while entertaining. If there is a place to study portuguese efficiently while enjoying a friendly atmosphere and a beautiful city that would be there. Chris (summer 2019)

I highly recommend this school to anyone! Last June I followed the intensive combined classes for a period of 2 weeks. I really like the warm approach of the owners Marco and Joana including the teachers. From the moment you enter the school, they all make you feel very welcome , and are truly interested in you as person as well. The teachers are enthusiastic and also use some humor in their lessons. For me as a beginner , this was a perfect start and I think the lessons are high quality. What I also like about this school is the flexibility. They can make a personal program for you, and alterations are no problem. Just send them an email, and they will contact you!
I will definitely return soon , and in the mean time l am having online classes with Conçalo twice a week! Thank you for your enormous patience when I am struggling!
