Who Is This For?
Our Portuguese courses are for students for whom Portuguese is a second or foreign language.
It is important to note that courses in Portuguese language and culture are intended for French-speaking students and are not suited for students who do not master French.
Why?
- Learn or perfect your Portuguese in optimal conditions with the necessary support;
- Prepare for studies in Portuguese;
- Prepare for an internship or work in Portuguese;
- Learn more about Portuguese cultures;
- Prepare for a trip in a Portuguese-speaking country or region.
