The Portuguese Language Centre is a Dublin-based company that offers a range of 10-hour Brazilian Portuguese courses for students at all levels.

All teachers at the Portuguese Language Centre are native speakers and have many years of experience in teaching Brazilian Portuguese.

Each class is held in the evening, and lasts for 1 hour and 15 minutes. They are online via Zoom, so you can participate even if you’re not in Dublin.

Lessons are accompanied by homework, which is submitted through a learning management system (LMS) and are corrected by your teacher prior to the next class. The same LMS is used for students to access course material.

The Portuguese Language Centre also provides a free level test for those uncertain of their current level. This will ensure that you’re placed in a class that matches your specific needs.
