Real conversations from week one
Every Saturday you complete real missions: order fish at the Nazaré fish market, ask a cheesemaker in Azeitão how it's made, buy a train ticket in Sintra.
The only Portuguese school where the classroom is Portugal.
Learn Portuguese online during the week and practise it for real on Saturdays — in markets, fishing villages and hilltop towns, talking to real Portuguese people. For residents of Portugal who want to speak, integrate and pass the citizenship exams.
Run by the team behind Lisbon on Wheels, private tours in Lisbon since 2014
Why us
Built for the new citizenship rules
Since January 2026 Portuguese nationality requires the A2 CIPLE language exam AND a test on Portuguese culture, history and citizenship. Our outings are literally the culture syllabus.
No classroom, no commute
Live online classes in the evening, recordings for 7 days, one outing a week.
