Extensive Portuguese Language Courses – Flexible Trimesters in Lisbon
Our Extensive Portuguese Language Courses are offered three times a year, divided into the following trimesters:
January to March
April to June
October to December
Each trimester functions as an independent module, allowing students to complete one CEFR language level per trimester (e.g., A1, A2, B1). There is no obligation to enroll in consecutive trimesters, giving you the flexibility to study Portuguese according to your own schedule and pace.
This course structure is ideal for:
Students looking for flexible language learning options
Professionals balancing work and study
Expats and travelers wanting to learn Portuguese over time

Duration of the Portuguese Courses in Lisbon and Timetables
The duration of an Extensive Portuguese Language Course is of 40 hours and corresponds to 1 level of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. If the enrollment is only for 20 hours, only the equivalent of half a level will be taught.
40 hours correspond to 11 or 12 weeks of classes (20 classes), depending on the holidays, and 20 hours correspond to 5 or 6 weeks of classes (10 classes).
Extensive Portuguese courses have 4 possible schedules:
- from 9 AM to 1:50 AM

The classes take place twice a week: on Mondays and Thursdays, on Tuesdays and Fridays or Saturdays and last 1 hour and 50 minutes each.

Training Methodology used in Portuguese Courses
The Language School of Sardines chooses to follow the new technologies and pedagogical tendencies. As the groups have a maximum of 6 students, it becomes easier and more frequent to interact with colleagues and teachers, this way allowing more communication in Portuguese.
During lessons, computer resources, interactive whiteboard, PowerPoint presentations, videos and audios are used to make the whole process of learning the Portuguese language dynamic and fun. The teacher becomes the moderator of the lesson, giving the students the possibility to participate frequently, explaining the Portuguese grammar and correcting whenever necessary. Without having the chance to speak Portuguese how can you learn it?
