inlingua Porto, founded in 1978, has been running high-quality Portuguese courses for almost 40 years. All aspects of language and culture are covered.

Oficina de Português opened in 2009 right in the city center and has devoted to teaching Portuguese as a second language ever since. Our programmes focus on all language skills necessary to communicate in Portuguese in the shortest time possible. Our approach to teaching is eclectic and this shows in our lessons as we give our students the confidence and the skills to effectively communicate and understand language in context. Students should expect lessons held in a friendly atmosphere with highly skilled teachers. Students can choose from a variety of general language programmes that range from extensive to intensive courses. Oficina de Português also offers a weekly calendar of social activities that are intended to work as outdoor lessons. These enable our students to the city and at the same time to put Portuguese to practice while still counting on one of our teachers for support. Our facilities include a student/ teacher lounge with coffee and water. We also offer study materials that students may borrow.
