Welcome to level B1 in Portuguese! We know that getting here wasn’t easy, but the truth is you’ve already made it. I have been teaching the Portuguese language for over 10 years, and the truth is that not all Portuguese language students can reach level B1! So, if you are reading this page, congratulations are already in order!
The B1 level in Portuguese is very interesting! In fact, it is the teaching level that gives me the most pleasure, and I feel that students also enjoy learning at this stage. It’s the level where we delve into the subjunctive mode, and where students can, for the first time, engage in conversations comfortably with native Portuguese speakers.
Throughout level B1, Portuguese language students learn the present and future tenses of the subjunctive, two structures of some complexity. While it is true that throughout this free Portuguese course, we will teach a lot about the subjunctive and its connectors, it is also true that consolidating these structures is manifestly impossible without a good and experienced Portuguese teacher!
When students reach level B1, it doesn’t mean that the content from levels A1 and A2 is perfectly known and consolidated. The truth is that it’s always necessary to review and solidify past structures in order to progressively fill in the knowledge gaps. What I mean by this is that B1-level students should continue advancing in this course but should also regularly revisit the content from levels A1 and A2 (especially A2) to review and consolidate the previously learned material.
EXCELLENT Based on 179 reviews Posted on Janine ReevesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Frederico is a brilliant teacher! I studied A1 at another school last year and then did A1 with Frederico this year - the difference between the 2 was huge. His teaching style is so refreshing, focusing on what you need to know rather than reciting hundreds of verbs/vocab you’ll never use. The learning studio he uses is also an amazing resource - it made at home study between classes enjoyable and helped consolidate the in class learning really well. I’ll definitely be back for A2…unlike the first school, I feel like I’ve learnt enough to finally move up a level!Posted on Jessica CrosbyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just want to take a moment to share how much I’ve truly appreciated learning A1 Portuguese with Frederico. The way he maps everything out week to week makes the language feel manageable, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable. The pacing is perfeito, never rushed and never overwhelming. He has so much patience and you can really feel he cares to see his students understanding the material. My friends and I are already planning to sign up for A2 with him in the spring! Anyone who takes his classes will come away feeling inspired and encouraged, just as we have.Posted on inbal kopilovitzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am so happy I took this course! It was even better than I thought. The teacher is very professional and very experienced. The classes are small, intimate and with lots of good funny energy. I had very basic portuguese and now I feel like I have jumped a few levels.Posted on Clémence PerracheTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

David Mota form CanadaPosted on Dianne ChoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Frederico is amazing - kind, great teacher, and patient. I took the A1 class and highly recommend. Although it's a beginners course, I found there was still a lot of speaking involved which for me is a big plus as that's how I learn the best. Also, classes are pet friendly! A++++Posted on Kathryn DeloreyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really enjoyed the A1 course. I learned a lot and am excited to continue with the A2 course.Posted on Liz SanpietroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Lisbon Language Cafe for anyone who wants to learn Portuguese. I haven’t been a student in a few decades and was nervous about jumping into a language class knowing that learning languages has always been difficult for me. The structure, pacing, and activities promote learning and confidence. The online activities are extremely helpful for reviewing material and practicing the skills learned in class. The environment is surprisingly relaxing for the amount of material covered. Federico is patient and willing to answer questions to clarify any material covered in class.Posted on Matt KleinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took the level A1 Portuguese Intensive course with Frederico and had a very positive and productive introduction to learning Portuguese. Frederico has carefully curated a curriculum that forms a solid foundation (practical and grammatical) for beginning the journey of learning a new language. I will continue to attend the Lisbon Language Café for the A2 course!
