What’s the best way to learn European Portuguese?
Learning European Portuguese can lead to rich cultural experiences, business chances, and meaningful connections. Spoken across continents, Portuguese from Portugal has millions of speakers today. Learning it can truly change your life.
Nevertheless, for the majority of students, European Portuguese can be challenging. The pronunciation, idioms, and grammar differ significantly from Brazilian Portuguese, much like British and American English.
So… how should you learn it effectively?
Let’s break it down.
Learn European Portuguese with Qualified Teachers
The #1 most important factor in mastering European Portuguese is having the right teacher.
At Conversa Portuguese, all our instructors are highly qualified – with university degrees in Portuguese or huge experience in teaching European Portuguese as a foreign language.
You’ll be learning with people like Cláudia Taveira, our lead teacher with over 23 years of experience, a Master’s in Second Language Portuguese, and a PhD in progress. She knows exactly how to guide non-native speakers.
And because we focus only on Portuguese from Portugal, you’ll master the correct pronunciation, vocabulary, and cultural nuances – right from the start.
