Portuguese Lessons in Leeds. Learn Portuguese
Language Trainers Portuguese courses are specifically developed after an initial meeting to discuss learners' needs and aims. Your qualified, native-speaking trainer will provide materials and cover areas of particular interest to you or your company. Individuals, pairs, and small groups are all catered for, and classes tailored to fit the learners. Lessons are arranged for a time that is convenient for you (morning, afternoon, evening; work days or weekends), and can be held at your home or office.
One-to-one General/Business
Portuguese Course in Leeds
It's no problem if you need to take Portuguese lessons specifically for personal use or to help with your career - our trainers mould the lesson plan to your precise needs.
While a General Portuguese course will provide you with enough linguistic ammunition to allow you to survive a short visit to the country (greetings, basic conversation and a solid grammatical foundation). A Business course in Portuguese will generally cover basic business etiquette in that language, and at a higher level, reading and writing in Portuguese.
Our Portuguese courses would not be fixed to a specific curriculum, however. You know the specifics of what you will need from your new language, and all you need do is tell your teacher. Perhaps if you are taking a Business course, you may want to focus more on Portuguese telephone or email skills, or a specific vocabulary for your line of work. Similarly, General courses can delve deeper into certain areas of the language that you know you will need.
We arrange Business courses for many clients; primarily those working in international trade, overseas governments and universities, and employees of multinational firms who require a second language. General courses are not simply for those who need to reach a certain level of Portuguese for an exam - they are perfect for those wishing to pack up and move abroad, those marrying a Portuguese national, as well as those travelling to the country for any other reason.

Info about Leeds
The fourth most populated city in England and one of the country's core cities, the metropolitan district of Leeds has just over three quarters of a million residents. The city was recently voted the best city to visit in the UK outside of London, and its two universities attract thousands of overseas students every year.
With this constant influx of people from all around the world, Leeds is a remarkably good spot to start learning a new language. With a large south Asian population and a notable Chinese contingent, there are plenty of opportunities around the city for daily practice, and with your native speaker tutor, you'll be making huge leaps in a fraction of the time it would take with a regular course.

Initially I was looking for intensive individual instruction over a short period of three to four weeks. I found Language Trainers UK through a web search and found the site easy to use. There was sufficient information on each of the packages available to help me make a choice and I finally settled on a course of 10 individual lessons (20hours) which suited my needs. The course was set up very quickly and has been well organised with flexibility about both venue and dates. With regard to the individual sessions I have found Elena to be well qualified and efficient. She quickly established an appreciation of my language level and past experience of learning Latin, French and Russian. She was able to adapt the sessions to meet all my needs and also made the lessons fun so that I always looked forward to her visits. As regards the supporting course materials I found the books excellent to use and they will be most useful for future reference. I would have no hesitation in recommending Language Trainers UK to others.
