Portuguese is one of the six most widely spoken languages, with over 260 million speakers worldwide, and many of them live in the UK. Portugal is the UK’s oldest ally (by a treaty signed in 1386) and migrants have been moving between the two countries ever since. The city of Oxford, in particular, attracts hundreds of people due to its magnificent university. A study published by Oxford University in 2013 shows that more than 1,500 Portuguese speakers live in the city, while more and more Brazilians are coming to the city to stay, too. So, if you would like to communicate with these people on a different level, make the most out of the many Brazilian and Portuguese cultural events that take place all year long and even pursue higher education in Portuguese, contact us at Language Trainers. We specialise in designing tailor-made courses that suit your ability, so you can start speaking Portuguese from the very first lesson.

Why Study Portuguese in Oxford

Learn Portuguese for Social: You can also use your new Portuguese skills to get to know like-minded people around Oxford. For example, you can join the InterNations space for Brazilians in Oxford. This group was originally setup for expats to get together and share their experiences, but today they welcome anyone with an interest in the Portuguese language and the Brazilian culture. Get to know new people and practise what you learn in your lessons with us at Language Trainers! And if all this conversation leaves you hungry, you can go to one of the many Brazilian-themed restaurants around the city. For example, Nando’s Oxford on Cowley Road has a wide variety of Portuguese dishes you can order, such as cozido a portuguesa or francesinhas. And if you are more into Brazilian food, you can go to Fernando Cafe on Queen Street and order caipirinhas and feijoada with the flawless pronunciation you acquire with us at Language Trainers!

Learn Portuguese for Culture: You can also experience the Portuguese and Brazilian cultures around Oxford. For example, you can take part in the vibrant Brazilian Carnival, a celebration that takes place every March. This event is organised by Sol Samba, Oxford Forró, The Illustrious Sambistas and Oxford Capoeira Angola. Come and enjoy the parade, the fantastic dancers and music. Sing along to the tunes and get to know new people by using the language skills you learn in your lessons. And if you are more into Portuguese arts, you can enjoy fado performances all year long at the Richard Benson Hall.

Learn Portuguese for Work and Studies: Knowing Portuguese will look great on your CV and will definitely help you get a new job in Oxford. Native English people who speak Portuguese are still quite rare, so being able to speak both languages will set you apart in the job market. In recent years, institutions, such as the British Council, have actively recruited Portuguese speakers in their graduate schemes. And many other companies, such as TripAdvisor, Cactus Research and Wytham UK are also recruiting bilingual candidates to add to their teams. And if you are looking to study Portuguese at university instead, you will be glad to know you can do so at the University of Oxford. In this institution, Portuguese is taught in a small, but growing sub-faculty. You can choose to enrol in Portuguese or Brazilian Studies, both which cover literature from the medieval period to the present day. Native speakers from Portugal and Brazil provide expert language teaching at all levels, so make sure you prepare for these courses well in advance with us at Language Trainers.
