Is This Course Right for You?

Language is the final piece
of your relocation

Immigration handles the paperwork. Integration is what comes after. This course bridges the two — giving you the confidence to communicate from day one.

📋
Are applying for residency or long-term citizenshipLanguage ability is increasingly valued in residency interviews, and required for citizenship applications.
🔰
Are a complete beginner with zero PortugueseThe course starts from scratch — no prior knowledge required. We build you up from greetings to full conversations.
🌍
Want to learn at your own pace from anywhereAll lessons are pre-recorded and accessible online. Study from home, on your commute, or from a café in Lisbon.

💼
Need specialist business or legal PortugueseThe course focuses on everyday life in Portugal — not technical or professional vocabulary for specific industries.

Curriculum

From your first word
to confident conversation

Two complete levels, each building naturally on the last.

A1 — Beginner

Your first steps in Portuguese

You'll learn to introduce yourself, handle basic transactions, and navigate everyday life from the moment you arrive in Portugal.

Greetings, introductions and basic courtesy
Numbers, dates, times and the alphabet
Shopping, ordering food and using transport
Essential vocabulary for housing and daily life
Basic question and answer structures
Understanding and asking for directions
Pronunciation foundations — sounds unique to European Portuguese

A2 — Elementary

Conversations that matter

You'll build on A1 to hold real conversations — at the bank, healthcare appointments, with neighbours, and at government offices.

Healthcare, pharmacies and medical vocabulary
Banking, post office and government services
Describing your home, family and daily routine
Past and future tense — talking about events
Neighbourhood life and building relationships
Workplace basics and professional courtesy
Residency and legal vocabulary used in Portugal

Client Stories

Real people. Real results.

★★★★★

I started the course three months before my move to Lisbon. By the time I arrived, I could handle the supermarket, my landlord, and even a basic conversation at the local café. It made such a difference to how settled I felt from day one.

Sarah M.

American expat — now living in Lisbon

Student outcome

Completed A1 & A2 before relocating. Now holds D7 residency and is preparing for citizenship language exam with confidence.

★★★★★

The pronunciation module alone was worth it. European Portuguese is nothing like Brazilian — and I'd tried to learn from apps before and picked up all the wrong sounds. This course fixed that completely.

James T.

British expat — relocated to the Algarve

Student outcome

Course included in Complete Visa Package Plus. Now fluent at A2 level and communicates confidently with neighbours and local services.

★★★★★

I was nervous about the language barrier — I'm not naturally a linguist. But the self-paced format meant I could take my time, replay lessons, and genuinely feel myself improving week by week. The certificate was a nice bonus too.

Marco R.

Italian digital nomad — based in Porto

Student outcome

Purchased course standalone before deciding on D2 visa route. Certificate submitted as part of integration evidence.

FAQ

Questions about our Portuguese Language Course

No — you can obtain a D7, D8, D2, or Golden Visa without any Portuguese. But you will need A2-level Portuguese for citizenship (and it's now paired with a civic knowledge test under the 2026 law), and daily life, AIMA appointments, and integration are far easier with basics. Our course takes you from zero to A2.

A2 level (elementary), proven via the CIPLE exam or an approved course certificate. The 2026 Nationality Law also added a test on Portuguese culture, history, and civic rights. Our A1–A2 course teaches exclusively European Portuguese and aligns with the CIPLE exam content required for citizenship and permanent residency.

European Portuguese. Pronunciation, vocabulary, and some grammar differ significantly from Brazilian Portuguese, and the citizenship exam, AIMA interactions, and daily life in Portugal all use the European variant. Our course is built and voiced entirely in European Portuguese by native teachers.

Most students complete A1 and A2 combined in 3–5 months studying a few hours per week. The course is fully self-paced with lifetime access — no deadlines, no expiry — and works on desktop, tablet, and mobile so you can learn before and after your move.

Yes — the course is included free with the Complete Visa Package (€1,595) and Complete Visa Package Plus (€2,810). Purchased standalone, it costs €297. Starting the language early is the single best preparation for the A2 citizenship requirement.

Yes. The A2 content aligns with the CIPLE exam required for Portuguese citizenship. Completing A1 and A2 gives you a strong foundation; we recommend adding speaking practice before the exam, and we provide guidance on exam registration and format.

Yes. The course runs on any device with an internet connection — desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone — and syncs your progress, so you can switch devices and continue exactly where you left off.
