Reviews of our Portuguese courses
The lesson was good and I think it should work very well with Lucio my trainer.
Everything is terrific! I’ve really been enjoying my classes.
According to the 2011 census, Portuguese is the tenth-most commonly spoken language in England and Wales, with over 130,000 speakers, more than 20,000 of whom live in London. Many families from Portugal first settled in the area now known as “Little Portugal” during the 1960s and 1970s and started to open restaurants on the South Lambeth Road; this is subsequently where the majority of London’s Portuguese population now reside. Today, the owners of the businesses in this area of the city are always looking to hire bilingual speakers and to socialise with other Portuguese-culture lovers. If you would like to establish long-lasting relationships with this community and to take advantage of cultural opportunities in London, start learning Portuguese with us at Language Trainers today.
Why Study Portuguese in London
Learn Portuguese for Work: Knowing Portuguese will certainly help you advance your career, whether you choose to stay in London or look to opportunities overseas. If you want to connect with Portuguese business owners, for instance, you should get in touch with the Portuguese Chamber Of Commerce in the UK on Belgrave Square. This institution has been promoting friendly business relations between Portugal and the UK since it was founded in 1991. For example, they organise programmes like Company IN for those who would like to set up their own company in Portugal. The Chamber also tries to give its members opportunities to network, such as at their annual Christmas Drinks, where you can taste delicious Portuguese wine and canapes to celebrate Christmas and interact with businesspeople of Portuguese origin. Take advantage of this amazing opportunity to meet plenty of new faces and make new connections in a relaxed, fun and friendly environment using your newly acquired Portuguese skills.
Learn Portuguese for Social: But you do not only have to use your Portuguese skills to improve your professional circumstances; they will prove useful for meeting new people will similar interests around the city, too. For instance, you can participate in the weekly get-togethers organised by the Portuguese Social London Meetup. This language exchange group is for anyone who wants to know more about Portugal and its culture. Join its members to have a good time while discovering Portuguese traditions, music, arts and good food while speaking in this beautiful language. Members usually meet at traditional bars and restaurants, such as Bar Dour on Southwark Bridge, which serves food from Porto, such as their popular sardines and francesinhas. Another excellent place is Santa Nata in Covent Garden, a bakery/coffee shop that produces the creamiest egg custard, exactly like the ones you can have in Portugal. Order delicious pasteis de nata in Portuguese and impress the personnel and your new friends with your vocabulary and pronunciation!
Learn Portuguese for Culture: You will also be able to experience Portuguese culture without ever leaving London. If you like Oporto wine, for example, you should attend events like Wine Tasting: A World of Difference from Portugal, where Portuguese wine experts host a very special tasting to shine a light on the ongoing and extraordinary evolution of Portuguese winemaking. Many of the winemakers will be there in person, so you can get the real stories behind the great labels of hundreds of wines. Most of these experts are Portuguese native speakers, so why not try to approach them to put your foreign language skills into practice? And if you are more interested in music, you will be happy to know that Portuguese artists usually perform concerts and present their albums around London. For example, in 2019, Sara Correia presented her new record in the city.
