Learn European Portuguese with me in Tavira or online at The Sounds of Portuguese. Whether you prefer in-person lessons in the Algarve or structured online learning, I help you communicate confidently in European Portuguese. There are three ways you can work with me, depending on your level and preferred style of learning.
European Portuguese Conversation Groups in Tavira (Algarve)
If you are living in or visiting Tavira in the Algarve and want to improve your spoken European Portuguese, these small in-person group sessions offer structured, guided practice in a relaxed environment.
These groups are currently held in Tavira (East Algarve) in the Plaza upstairs in the food court. The groups are limited to 8-10 people for maximum learning benefits. These sessions start at 9h30 am, they are one hour long and 30€ per person per calendar month (one session a week).
Please note that payments won’t be carried over to future weeks if you miss any sessions.
There are two types of classes:
For Beginners. These are TPRS lessons, which stand for Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling. They are immersive storytelling lessons based on the Theory of Comprehensible Input without loads of explicit and complicated grammar instruction. You must be willing to be active in the lessons and participate.
- Mondays or Thursdays at 9.30 am (Currently Fully Booked)
For Intermediates. These sessions are practice sessions more than they are lessons. These are appropriate for those of you who don’t get an opportunity to practice speaking in Portuguese enough. Some weeks there is a topic, and on other weeks I surprise you with a topic to practice improvising your Portuguese on the spot.
- Tuesdays or Fridays at 9.30 am
- Email me if you would like to attend
These conversation groups are ideal for learners who want structured speaking practice in European Portuguese in the Algarve. If you are based in Tavira or nearby, this is a consistent and supportive way to improve your fluency.
