Learn Portuguese in Edinburgh and make new Brazilian or Portuguese friends, pursue higher education in this foreign language and experience the annual Carnival like never before! Contact us at Language Trainers and we will prepare a tailor-made course that suits your needs and requirements. We will guide you to fluency in a short time, no matter how busy your schedule!

Why Study Portuguese in Edinburgh

Learn Portuguese for Studies: If you are looking to study Portuguese in a higher education establishment, you will be happy to know the University of Edinburgh has a lot of options for you. For example, you can enrol in their MA Portuguese programme, where you can perfect your skills in the sixth-most widely spoken language in the world. The programme is designed to provide you with a deep knowledge of the cultures where Portuguese is spoken (like Portugal, Angola, Brazil, Mozambique and more). You will study these societies through literature, film and the arts during your first and second years, while in your third year, you will study or work in Portugal, Brazil or Lusophone Africa. Having an advanced knowledge of Portuguese will help you get by when living abroad, so don’t hesitate to contact us to sharpen your language skills with us at Language Trainers.

Learn Portuguese for Culture: Study Portuguese and you will be able to explore Brazilian and Portuguese cultural events like never before. For instance, if you are into parties and festivals, you should not miss the annual Carnival that takes place every February. You will enjoy Brazilian music and dance performances, see amazing costumes and watch circus and acrobatic acts from Brazilian artists. You can even wear a costume yourself and take part in Carnival as if you were in Rio de Janeiro! And if you love dancing and would like to feel even closer to Brazil, why not enrol in samba lessons at the Edinburgh Samba School? This institution promotes Brazilian carnival culture in the city and offers samba and drumming lessons to everyone who wants to learn. Dancers who attend the classes regularly and feel confident with the basic steps may even be asked to join them in performing at festivals or clubs!

Learn Portuguese for Social: Learning Portuguese will also come in handy if you are looking to meet like-minded people around Edinburgh. For example, you can join language exchange groups, like Language and Culture International or Edinburgh Social Network, where you will meet language learners of all ages and backgrounds looking to put their skills into use, including Portuguese. And if you are looking to meet others studying the Brazilian variety, then a great option is to participate in the meetings organised by the InterNations Space for Brazilians in Edinburgh. You will not only get to practise with other language learners but also converse with Brazilian native speakers living in the city.
