Portuguese Facts
Portuguese is the official language of Portugal, Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, and Mozambique
Over 51% of the population of South America speak Portuguese, and it is also a major lingua franca in Africa
Portuguese has many obvious grammatical and lexical similarities with other Romance languages, and is to a small extent mutually intelligible with Spanish and Italian: Portuguese speakers would not generally need any formal study of grammar and vocabulary before being able to understand reasonably simple sentences in these languages (and vice versa)

These Portuguese lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn Portuguese to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners course, students can expect to finish the course with decent telephone and e-mail Portuguese, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.

This set of Portuguese tutorials are less specific and more targeted at those who want to get a range of different things from learning Portuguese. Even though all novice students will cover survival Portuguese: enough Portuguese to make a visit to the country or make good contacts with the locals, but what do you do from there? It depends on your needs. Those who have benefitted from these courses 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.

2 or more people can benefit studying Portuguese together as these Portuguese courses are also offered to groups (Two-to-One Portuguese Course or Small Group In-Company Portuguese Course). Every student must have the same degree of knowledge of the language, the same business or language needs and the ability to study at the same time and place as everybody else. The booking has to be made for all students at the same time. Listen & Learn do not advocate group sessions of more than 6-8 people, though Taster Portuguese Courses can be experienced by up to 12 people.
