About the Course
If you have little or no previous knowledge of Portuguese, then this is the right level for you. Learn to share information about yourself and ask basic questions of those around you. You also learn structure and vocabulary that allow you to function in everyday settings such as ordering food in a restaurant or asking for directions. You begin to understand complex language structures in an immersion classroom setting while learning to speak primarily in the present tense.
