Enrolment Conditions

Refunds and transfers:

Students should consider their personal commitments and circumstances before enrolment as we regret that no fees are refundable under any circumstances once the course has started, nor are transfers to future terms possible. In the case that numbers are insufficient to proceed with a course, a full refund will be given.

No refund will be given to students who miss classes, start the course late or leave a course before the end of the Term. It is a student's right and responsibility to attend the number of classes for a given course. Where a student knows that a class will be missed due to prior engagements, we will do our best to assist in communicating the material of that class by telephone, email, or a replacement class where available.

Portuguese Classes Perth

If you are planning to visit Brazil for the spectacular Carnaval celebrations or to Portugal in Europe, your visit will be enhanced by a knowledge of Portuguese. You will discover in our Portuguese classes the langauge is more than the language of the samba and Carnaval. With approximately 170 million native speakers, Portuguese is one of the most prolific languages in the world. It is second (after Spanish) as the most spoken Romance language, with an estimated 150 million Portuguese-speaking people living in Brazil, and about 10 million in Portugal.

Our Portuguese lessons provide an introduction to contemporary spoken and written Portuguese. The main objective is for students to develop the basics of everyday communication and communication skills in Portuguese. Our Portuguese courses make use of all four basic language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Students are able to satisfy basic aural and oral communication needs, initiate and sustain simple conversations, understand simple texts and write simple original sentences. Learning takes place with reference to everyday situations.  

At PLI we get involved in local foreign language cultural events and often have promotions available to students so that they gain practical application of the language skills learnt, as well as gaining insight and appreciation of foreign cultures.

Portuguese Beginners Level 1

This course is a beginner level course in Portuguese and requires no prior knowledge of the language. Level 1 provides the foundation for the language program and focuses on basic greetings, personal information, expressing yourself and introductory grammatical structure. Furthermore, you will also be introduced to elements of the Portuguese culture.  This level is recommended to people who wish to travel, and also for those who plan to use Portuguese in basic business communication or with their family and friends    

Enrolment

Portuguese classes are temporarily suspended whilst we find a suitable teacher - we will update this page when classes are available.
