How Portuguese Classes in London Work

Our Portuguese courses in London use our proven learning method. Classes are both engaging and interactive. Teachers will use full-immersion and the communicative approach when delivering our Portuguese lessons. You will take part and speak with confidence from the very first Portuguese class.

You will engage in pair work and group work in every class. Classes will also focus on teacher-student correction slots, speaking and communication activities, quizzes, games, reading skills and listening skills practice and grammar practice.

Our Portuguese classes in London are offered at 6 core levels under the Common European Framework – CEFR. If you are not sure of your level, you can take our online Portuguese level test.

Portuguese from Portugal or Brazil?

Cactus Portuguese classes are based on European Portuguese course materials. However, your teacher may be European Portuguese or Brazilian Portuguese. The teacher will teach their accent and vocabulary. We cannot confirm whether your teacher will be Brazilian Portuguese or European until one week before the start of the course. The difference between the two is similar to the difference between American English and British English. There are differences in accent, vocabulary and minor syntax and grammatical differences.

If you have a strong preference for either you must state this, in writing, at the time of booking. We will endeavour to place you in a class with a teacher of the preferred accent/origin. If you fail to inform us in writing at the time of the booking we will not be able to accommodate it. In this case, a refund request on the basis that the teacher does not match your preference will be rejected.

Frequently asked questions

What will I learn?

Our Course Outlines give an overview of the content and learning framework of Cactus courses. Includes themes, grammar and vocabulary you can typically expect to cover. These are intended as a guide only. Language teachers may at times adapt the course content to suit the specific level, aims and interests of the class.

How do I know what level I am?

Are you unsure where to start or progress to? Then take our level test and read our level descriptions for guidance.

Do I receive a qualification or certificate?

At the end of your course you receive a certificate of participation. You will be able to be download it from your MyCactus account. This confirms the language and level of course you have taken. Our course levels are based on two internationally recognised systems. You will have a universally accepted reference for your studies. (Important: Please note that you must complete the end of course questionnaire sent to you to be able to get your certificate! You will receive the course questionnaire by e-mail at the end of your course.)

Do I need a course book?

You will need a course book to attend your course. Course books are not included in the course fees. We recommend that you buy your own course book separately before your course starts. We will let you know which course book you will require and advise where you can purchase this. Please note that a course book often covers more than one level. So if you progress to the next course, you may not necessarily need to buy a new book. Again, we will advise you of this at the time. The course book is chosen by our teachers and academic team. This is based on which book is most suitable for the level of the class whilst offering the most communicative approach.
