TEN TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR VOCABULARY IN PORTUGUESE
1-Read books and articles in Portuguese: Regular exposure to the language helps expand your vocabulary.
2-Take note of new words: When you come across a new word, write it down and try to find out its meaning.
3-Utilize flashcards to learn new words: Create flashcards with new words and their meanings, and review them regularly.
4-Watch movies and TV shows in Portuguese: Listening to the language being spoken in context helps you understand and use new words.
5-Study synonyms and antonyms: This helps you understand the nuances of word meanings and how to use them accurately.
6-Practice creative writing: Writing stories, poems, or even daily texts can help you experiment and incorporate new words into your writing.
7-Play word games: Games like crosswords and other word games in general are a fun way to learn new words.
8-Do vocabulary exercises: There are many exercises available online that can help you learn and review new words.
9-Utilize online resources: Websites like WordReference.com and the Pribram dictionary can be useful for looking up definitions and examples of word usage.
10-Practice speaking: Try using new words in your daily conversations and ask others to correct any grammar or pronunciation errors you may make.

I just finished the introductory A1 course this past week. This was a great experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to start making progress in Portuguese quickly. Though I have a background in French and Spanish, I had no familiarity with Portuguese going in. In just two weeks, my listening and reading comprehension have skyrocketed, and now I will continue on to the next level to make more progress in my speaking. This class is also a great way to meet other people who are interested in learning the language and culture, and I'm happy to have made some new friends in the process!

I've never really learned a second language and, in fact, did not do well when I took the required Spanish classes in high school. I thought I was a lost cause. After moving to Lisbon I decided to enroll with Lisbon Language Cafe and I couldn't be more impressed. First of all, because the class size is so small and because they focus on speaking/engagement, I really got to know the other students - it was just so much more fun than I could have ever expected. I came with hope and left with new friendships and the foundational skills needed to navigate daily life here in Portugal (give and receive directions, order food, communicate with doctors, etc...). I don't normally write reviews but feel compelled to do so for Lisbon Language School because of how good my experience was. I am excited to continue my education using this school and honestly feel that the teachers are vested in ensuring my success. Muito obrigado por me ensinarem português!

Update: I just finished the A2 classes and I’m looking forward to B1! Going to Lisbon Language Café has helped me a lot in improving my Portuguese. I think that if I did not take these classes, I would’ve been stuck speaking in present tense with everyone. Now I’m able to use multiple tenses which makes my discussions more fluid and allows me to improve my understanding skills as well. My overall grammar, conjugation and vocabulary has improved a lot. Cherry on the cake: I noticed that even when I have a bad day, my mood switches during these classes as the vibe is always super nice 🙂
I attached a picture from the lessons with the best, most hard-working student of our group.

Previous review:
I attended the A1 "night" classes.
The class is well-structured, we moved fast, and got to learn many useful things that allow me to speak more comfortably already (vocabulary, conjugation, etc.)
Frederico is super nice, friendly, and laughs at the worst jokes, which made me happy.
Now, I must master all the knowledge he passed on to us before getting in the A2 group.
BIG bonus points for letting me come with my dog to class.
Would definitely recommend these Portuguese classes to anyone.
Thank you for everything!

I had such a great time in this class. Frederico's approach is easy and fun. He equips you with a lot of information. Do your homework!! He even had class online when I was ill and couldn't make it in person. His printouts he gave me still come in use. This class gave me the courage to try speaking in my daily life, even with errors, and I understand much more.
I had a great time in this class. Estou praticando mais.
Obrigado!

Lisbon Language Cafe offers excellent Portuguese A1 group lessons led by a dedicated teacher. Frederico’s expertise and teaching style impressed me whereas he also created a supportive and engaging learning environment, emphasizing vocabulary, grammar, and conversation skills (however also making it practical for daily use!). Individual needs were addressed and patient guidance provided. Also cultural insights were integrated into the lessons. The comfortable atmosphere, good group and lots of laughs contributed to a pleasant learning experience. If you're looking for Portuguese lessons, I highly recommend Lisbon Language Café!

A great portuguese course in Lisbon. I learned portuguese and got a lot more comfortable with the language after taking the intensive portuguese course while living in Lisbon. Frederico is a great teacher who really cares about his students learning. I highly recommend this portuguese language lesson, and it's in a great location!
