Portuguese Intermediate (Português Intermediário) is a course for students who have been studying Portuguese for a while. This level requires that you have previously studied Portuguese at pre-intermediate level at Educantes or with an alternative language institution.

Our Portuguese language classes take place in our online learning environment and classroom with a qualified and experienced teacher. Our language classes at Educantes are interactive and dynamic, as the emphasis is on spoken communication, which is achieved through games, group work, and role-plays. At the same time, there is systematic work on vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation, since our goal is to help you to improve on all aspects of language. In addition, your teacher speaks in Portuguese throughout the lesson, so that you can refine your listening skills and understanding in your target language.
