About Portugal

Portugal, on the western edge of Europe along the Atlantic Ocean, stands out for its seafaring past, colourful tiles and coastal towns. The official language is Portuguese. Lisbon, the capital, spreads across seven hills with its yellow trams and viewpoints overlooking the River Tagus, blending its historic character with modern city life and offering a distinctive atmosphere from the very first day.

Programmes in Portugal are based in Lisbon and focus on general Portuguese courses. Portuguese is spoken not only in Portugal but also in Brazil and several African countries, so learning it opens doors to a wide part of the world. Lisbon is an enjoyable choice for anyone who wants to combine language study with city life on the Atlantic coast that is both relaxed and lively.
