Stage 1
This is for beginners and aims to cover the following subjects: we'll learn how to say who you are, where you live, what your job is, and talk about your family. We'll look at how to buy clothes in a shop, book into a hotel, get out of an airport, and how to order food in a restaurant. As far as the grammar is concerned we'll look at singular and plural, masculine and feminine, and the present tense, and if things go quickly, we may look at the past tense too. The main emphasis will be on speaking the language, so that you can go to the country, and make your way around

This is for people who have done little Portuguese before, perhaps a couple of terms.We will learn to talk in situations like going into a shop, buying clothes, visiting friends etc. We will look in more detail at different tenses, and genders, masculine and feminine. We may also look at magazine articles.

Intermediate

This class is roughly GCSE level and students in this class have often been with me for a year or two Students who speak other Latin languages or have studied them to A-level or degree level could join too. We will be chatting about subjects like shopping, spare time interests, and holidays in some depth. As far as the grammar is concerned, we'll revise the present tense, and masculine and feminine, singular and plural, and then look at the past and possibly future tenses in detail. We will also look at articles from the Portuguese news.
