One-to-one General/Business
Portuguese Course in Cork
It doesn't matter if you want to learn Portuguese for business or pleasure - our customised language courses will help you get where you want to be.
General and Business courses in Portuguese differ in style and content: a General course will concentrate on developing confident conversational skills, making short visits to the country less of an exercise in frustration and more about building upon the foundations to your own ends. Business courses are aimed at those wishing to work in the target language - so a working knowledge of etiquette in Portuguese business, as well as developing proficient reading and writing skills.
The possibilities are not limited to these two categories, however. Those taking a Business course will generally also learn Portuguese telephone and email skills, as well as learning the basics for surviving short visits to the country. Likewise, a General course can include specific elements that are integral to your needs, for example if you need vocabulary specific to buying property overseas.
Typical learners who choose our Business courses are import/export professionals, agents for multi-national companies, and those involved with foreign governments and universities. Clients of our General Portuguese courses include people moving abroad, those entering a Portuguese family through marriage, those studying for a Portuguese exam, as well as those who are simply passionate about Portuguese language and culture.

Info about Cork
The city of Cork and its surrounding area is home to around 300,000 people, and is the second largest city in the Republic of Ireland. Often seen as something of a 'rebel' county, native Cork residents have their own distinctive accent, dialect and vocabulary, tending to be higher in pitch than most Irish accents; and often compared with Liverpudlian accents due to the long-standing rate of immigration to Liverpool from Cork.
Home of the Blarney Stone, Cork is a terrific place to pick up a new language, having long stood as a centre for immigration in the region - around 20% of the city's population was born outside Ireland. This cultural diversity means more native speakers of other languages in the region, giving plenty of reasons to study a new tongue.
