Written by the company

At Portuguish, we offer practical and personalised Portuguese lessons for people who live in Portugal or plan to move here. Learning European Portuguese can feel challenging — especially if you’ve experienced old-fashioned lessons where you need to memorise endless grammar rules before you can actually speak. Many people search for how to learn Portuguese and end up feeling stuck, unsure how to make real progress. That’s why we take a different approach. From day one, our lessons focus on real communication — helping you speak Portuguese confidently in everyday life. As you advance, we gradually introduce grammar and natural expressions so you can understand locals and express yourself with ease. Our goal is to make learning Portuguese enjoyable, practical, and relevant to your daily life in Portugal. Whether you prefer online private lessons, small conversation groups, or our interactive self-study platform — The Portuguese Puzzle —, you’ll always find clear explanations, real-life examples, and a friendly, supportive atmosphere. We also help students prepare for the Portuguese Citizenship Exam (CIPLE A2), offering clear guidance, vocabulary, and practice to help you feel confident on test day. At Portuguish, we believe learning Portuguese should feel simple, friendly, and rewarding — so you can truly enjoy life in Portugal and connect with the people around you.

It works for me!

I'm really enjoying using the materials provided by portuguish.pt After years of struggling with the language the techniques Inês uses seem to be working for me. I like how she presents and delivers. Highly recommended.

Excellent practical Portuguese course

It is a course that teaches you real-life sentences and helps you speak Portuguese with ease. It provides the short, necessary grammar to understand how these sentences work. Its listening components enhance comprehension of normally paced native speech. The personalised flashcards make you memorise a lot of words related to different topics, and the particular, short lessons.
As you hear the words as well, you can learn the correct pronunciation.

A fantastic way to learn Portuguese

I have been taking lessons with Inês for a while and have recently passed my CIPLE exam well. The style of teaching is perfect for everyday situations and not heavy on grammar. The Portuguese Puzzle has everything you need to prepare you for the exam and remind you of what you have learnt. I would and have thoroughly recommended Portuguish.

Excellent teacher with great online material

I have been learning Portuguese with Inês for more than three years. Her online lessons enabled me to pass my A2 exam but I have continued to stay with her as I try to reach the next level. She produces some very useful material that help you master the art of listening as well as helping you to remember an increasing amount of vocabulary. I thoroughly recommend her whether you are a beginner or intermediate level student.

I really like the two student approach

I really like the two student approach, as our instructor is focussed on us. Our instructor, Pedro, is patient and at no time interrupts you with a correction. He goes through what we present, then corrects and explains.
It's a very practical course and I feel very comfortable with the programme.

Very good way to learn a language

I have been following private lessons for three months now and I have learned a lot. I have a private teacher and she adapt to my level. It is a very good and fun way to learn a new language. The use of brain scape makes daily exercise very easy and doesn't take much time.
I will continue the lessons in the future

The Portugese puzzle is a great way to practice comprehension of spoken Portugese and pronunciation of words. I enjoy the lessons and feel they are making the difference I need now in my learning journey which is more about understanding when someone talks to me in Portugese. My brain is starting to understand conversations. Really recommend their approach.

With Portuguish it's easy peasy

I think Portuguish has a simple, fast, and well-structured way of teaching Portuguese, without making the lessons tiring. It offers several useful tools, like the Portuguish Puzzle, which provide extra support for learning through games, flashcards, and other clever activities that make the journey of learning Portuguese much more fun and effective.

I started with Portuguish about 2 years…

I started with Portuguish about 2 years ago and loved it. Then my Portuguese In-laws said I needed to learn grammar. I was so confused so I came back to Portuguish and will never leave again. Also, I asked my teacher, Inês Nunes, to help me with the vowel sounds and she takes the time to leave a detailed voice message to help me. I highly recommend this course because putting the puzzle pieces together is much easier this way and you will start speaking so much faster!!

Great experience

I am enjoying my lessons with Raquel. She is very patient and helpful. Having a lesson every week forces me to focus, otherwise I probably wouldn't. My confidence has improved, now I just need Portugese people to stop speaking English to me, LOL!!!
