Did you know that Portuguese is the most widely spoken language in the southern hemisphere? As well as being spoken in Portugal and Brazil, it is also used in Macau, Cape Verde, Angola, Mozambique, and Goa (India).
Our Portuguese evening classes will help you to improve your everyday language skills. By the end of your class, you could book a hotel in Lisbon, order food at a restaurant in Rio de Janeiro, or even book a dolphin watching tour in the Azores islands - all in Portuguese!
You'll also learn about the different cultural traditions, food, music, and artistic creations that connect all Portuguese-speaking countries.

Since its establishment in 1991 the Language Centre has grown steadily and developed to become what it is today: a dynamic teaching unit offering high quality language learning to more than 1200 students from all departments across the University.
A small proportion of students follow a degree course with a compulsory language element. The majority, however, choose a language as an optional module and can either begin a new language or improve existing language skills.
Our Teaching Philosophy
All teachers bring their own personal expertise and personality into the classroom. This richness and variety is something which all learners appreciate. We are fortunate in the Language Centre that we draw staff from many countries and different professional backgrounds - a factor which enhances greatly the opportunities for learners.
These skills and professional convictions lend energy to discussions among staff members about teaching methods. The Language Centre seeks to be a place where ideas are exchanged and where teaching programmes and materials are drawn from the strengths of individual staff members, supported by technology and a dedicated and imaginative technical team.
It is fair to say that there is general consensus amongst staff on a basic teaching philosophy. This can be briefly summarized under the following points:
LSI’s classes in Brazilian Portuguese at our schools in central London, New York, Paris and Zurich are led by our highly experienced and fully qualified teachers, allowing you to study the language in a manner that is practical, effective and fun.
We offer a wide range of different language courses, allowing our learners to communicate confidently in the language of their choice and to become independent language learners.
