Learn Portuguese Online

at the Beverly Hills Lingual Institute

Did you know?

In Brazil, a casual potluck where everyone brings a dish is called an festa americana, or 'American party.'

Olá! Portuguese is spoken by some 215 million people worldwide. It is the official language of eight independent countries, and is the native language of Latin America's economic and industrial superpower: Brazil. Believe it or not, more people speak Portuguese as their native language than speak French, German, Italian, or Japanese.

Why a Virtual Classroom instead of an App?

Your best choice to learn Portuguese online is the Beverly Hills Lingual Institute. Our faculty and courses are proven, effective, and extremely popular with residents of the Los Angeles area.

The best part about living in Los Angeles is...

Cultural diversity, weather, and nature: we've got the beaches, the mountains, and the deserts.

Recommend a place to visit where Portuguese is the native language, and tell us why you like it.

The restaurants Bossa Nova and Pampas. One gets really good Brazilian food and can talk to the waiters in Portuguese.

What Portuguese film or musical artist do you recommend students watch or listen to?

I recommend watching 'Central Station,' 'City of God,' and 'Elite Squad 1.' Among musical artists, I recommend Caetano Veloso, Antonio Carlos Jobim (if you like Bossa nova), and—for those who appreciate guitars of seven strings—listening to Yamandu Costa is a must.

What most surprises your students about Portuguese?

That most of the nouns change in the masculine and feminine forms.

What one thing would you like your students to know about you?

That I prepare my classes to enable them to speak, understand, and enjoy the language.

Private Portuguese Classes

We offer semi-private Portuguese classes or private Portuguese lessons for any level of Portuguese.

Some students prefer private lessons instead of a scheduled class, or occasionally take private classes to augment their existing, scheduled group course.

Private classes are more flexible than Group classes. They are tailored to specific learning and scheduling needs. They can be useful if a student's language knowledge is uneven, if a more intensified study program is needed, or if privacy is a concern.

With our large staff of native speakers, we can schedule private lessons in most languages.

Private lessons are available in packages of:

4 classes (80-minutes each)
8 classes (80-minutes each)
12 classes (80-minutes each)

Or, if you are enrolled in a group class, your private lesson can be scheduled individually.

Please write us or call (323) 651-5000 to schedule your private class.

Why Learn Portuguese?

Having recently hosted the Soccer World Cup and the Olympics, Brazil has enjoyed a flurry of interest from the rest of the world. With Brazil now ranked among the eight largest global economies, Portuguese is becoming increasingly important in the finance and trade industries. Should you already speak some Spanish, you'll find that learning Portuguese is easier than you might think. In that case, too, you'll have expanded your career prospects considerably. Spanish and Portuguese are the key to living and working across South America, and in many other places in Europe, Africa, and Asia.

Boas Noticias - You Know 40 Portuguese Words

Good news! You already know at least forty words in Portuguese...

Mastering a new language can change your life.

Portugal Travel and Tours

Spending time studying an unfamiliar alphabet, practicing different sounds, and generally striving to master a foreign language like Portuguese has been proven to have a positive effect on the learner's mind. Studies show that adults learning new languages stimualte similar brain parts as children learning you speak. You'll find it easier to learn and remember new things, and you'll likely enjoy the ability to hold more things in short-term memory.

Bilingual individuals often demonstrate increased open-mindedness, creativity, and approachability compared to those who speak only one language. Learning a new language extends beyond acquiring linguistic skills; it cultivates new sensibilities and a broadened perspective on the world. Consequently, multilingualism promotes a deeper understanding of diverse cultures and customs, fostering greater acceptance of new ideas.

The Beverly Hills Lingual Institute invites you to learn Portuguese at our award-winning school, where we are proud to offer Portuguese and more than 35 other languages.

Our language school hires and retains exceptional Portuguese teachers, eager to share their knowledge and love for their native land and the Portuguese language.

Our attractive location, on-site parking and schedule all combine to facilitate your Portuguese courses.
