Learn Portuguese on a language study holiday in Portugal

Textbooks, CDs and classrooms are not always the best way to learn Portuguese. They lack one important element: immersion. A modern language exchange or homestay in Portugal is the fast, effective way to learn Portuguese.

Learn Portuguese in Portugal

Learn Portuguese faster than you thought possible and have more fun than you imagined on a modern Lingoo language exchange or homestay. With the total immersion method, you learn Portuguese all day, every day, for as long as your trip lasts.

You, your child or family group can learn Portuguese with a language study holiday in Portugal.   Lingoo publishes hundreds of offers of homestay accommodation from Portuguese host families, teachers and families looking for a language exchange.  

Finding the right host is important. We help you choose who you stay with based on location, lifestyle, interests (and even diet or religion). Our aim is to help you find a language partner so right for you that, through the learning experience, you might easily become friends.

Using Lingoo, you have more control and don’t need to use an expensive agency or residential Portuguese language school; you can search, select the Portuguese speaking host family or language exchange family in Portugal that fits best with you or your child and then directly organise a tailored and enjoyable language learning study holiday.

If you are thinking of adding some Portuguese lessons during your stay, many host families will also help you to organise a language course for your or your child with a local Portuguese teacher or language school.

Alternatively, staying in the home of a teacher is a new, intensive way to eat, sleep and breathe your Portuguese learning. Your teacher provides meals and accommodation together with formal or informal lessons tailored to your level of Portuguese and designed to help you widen your language skills and build understanding. Click here to learn more about learning Portuguese whilst living in your teacher’s home.

Some things you just can’t learn in a classroom. A Language exchange or homestay in Portugal is an opportunity for people of all ages – from children to retired people – to improve their Portuguese language skills in authentic, everyday situations.
