Why learn Portuguese via Skype?

Skype has revolutionized language learning by allowing students to connect with native European or Brazilian Portuguese speakers from anywhere in the world, providing real-time practice and cultural exchange. This accessibility has made immersive learning experiences more achievable, bridging gaps that traditional classroom settings could not.

  • Convenience and Flexibility: One of the primary advantages of studying Portuguese online is convenience. You can take your lessons from any location and fit your Portuguese classes around work, study, or personal commitments, making it easy to stay motivated on your path to becoming fluent.
  • Real-Life Speaking Practice: Connect with native Portuguese speakers and engage in real-life conversations on topics that interest you. Learning in partnership with a private teacher enhances listening and speaking skills and promotes authentic pronunciation and intonation to develop a natural accent.
  • Improved Listening Skills: Regular Portuguese practice on Skype with native speakers enhances your listening skills by familiarizing you with different accents, speech speeds, and colloquial language. This really improves comprehension skills and your ability to keep up with conversations in various settings.
  • Increased Confidence: Interacting with natural speakers boosts learners’ confidence in their communication skills. Overcoming the initial hesitation and engaging in meaningful conversations helps you build vocabulary, confidence and reduces the fear of making mistakes.
  • Recording and Reviewing Lessons: The ability to record your classes using Skype allows you to revisit and review content as needed. This feature is particularly useful for pronunciation and reinforcing difficult grammar concepts whilst tracking your progress over time.
  • Immediate Feedback and Correction: Rapid teacher feedback on each core skill helps learners correct mistakes promptly. Real-time guidance and correction accelerates the path to fluency and helps you master grammatical structures, phonetic rules, intonations, and stress patterns resulting in more natural speech.
  • Cultural Insights and Context: Talking with native speakers gives valuable cultural insights and context that enriches your learning. Understanding the culture of Portuguese speaking countries helps learners grasp idiomatic expressions, customs, and social norms, making communication more effective and meaningful.
  • Interactive Learning Environment: Skype Portuguese classes for adults and children leverage the platform’s video and audio capabilities to create an immersive environment. Practice your Portuguese speaking skills through discussion, role-plays, and other interactive methods which build your confidence in using Portuguese.

Frequently asked questions about Portuguese lessons on Skype

Is learning Portuguese on Skype similar to in person classes?

Skype Portuguese classes are similar to in-person one-on-one lessons in many ways. They offer personalized instruction tailored to the learner's needs, enabling direct real-time interaction with your teacher. Like in-person lessons, virtual Portuguese classes create an immersive environment where students can learn and practice new vocabulary, build confidence in speaking aloud and receive immediate feedback from their teacher.

Additionally, the visual and auditory aspect of web based classes closely mimics the interaction you get from face-to-face in person lessons, fostering a productive learning environment and personal connection to your tutor that helps you quickly build confidence and fluency in speaking Portuguese.

With features like screen sharing, instant messaging, and the ability to record sessions, learners can practice pronunciation, improve grammar, build vocabulary, and gain cultural insights. This interactive approach makes it a really effective tool to learn Portuguese from the comfort of your home or work.

How much do online Portuguese lessons cost?

One of the big advantages of our classes is that you save on travel costs and can access a wide range of teachers from all over the world.

This means that our Portuguese classes can often be more affordable than comparable in-person lessons. Typically virtual Portuguese lessons will cost between $20 USD to $40 USD per session. Many of our teachers also offer discounts and free trials for new students and we have a great loyalty discount plan, allowing you to learn Portuguese with a tutor that fits your budget.

What do I need to get started?

You don't need much to learn Portuguese with Skype, but you will need the following before you can start your classes:

  • Hardware:
    • A computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone with a reliable processor and sufficient RAM (at least 4GB recommended).
    • A webcam for video calls, either built-in or external.
    • A microphone, either built-in, in a headset, or an external one, for clear audio communication.
    • Speakers or headphones to hear the tutor clearly.
  • Software:
    • The latest version of Skype installed on your device - it's easy to use and free to setup an account.
    • A compatible operating system (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, or Linux).
    • Optional: Additional software for screen sharing or document collaboration if needed for lessons.

Regarding connection speed, we recommend a minimum internet speed of 1.5 Mbps for both download and upload for high-quality video classes. However, a faster connection (3 Mbps or higher) is ideal to ensure smooth and uninterrupted sessions, especially for high-definition video quality.

Why learn Portuguese online with us?

We've been at the front of helping people to learn a foreign language over the internet since 2006. All our tutors are specialists in enhancing fluency, building speaking confidence, and ensuring an efficient and effective path to becoming fluent in Portuguese.

We are rated as Excellent on Trustpilot and have been featured in the WebUser Language Awards and the Times Online.

Additionally, our friendly customer service team is available to address any questions and concerns. We also offer an extra trial lesson if you're not completely satisfied with your Portuguese tutor after your first class.

How are Skype Portuguese lessons structured?

One of the main advantages of our Portuguese lessons is that you can discuss the format and content of your lessons with your teacher so you can focus on your individual areas of weakness or work towards a specific goal, such as passing official proficiency tests.

Normally you will do most of the talking and the session will typically involve interactive activities such as guided conversations, role-playing scenarios, and spontaneous dialogue on various topics. This format is beneficial because it maximizes speaking practice, allowing learners to really focus on using their Portuguese conversational skills in real-time, improving fluency, and building confidence.

Using this approach, students can better internalize vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation, and receive immediate feedback and corrections from the tutor, making the whole experience more dynamic and effective.

Do you offer training for official Portuguese language tests?

We are dedicated to helping individuals excel in official Portuguese language proficiency exams by connecting them with experienced native teachers. Whether you're preparing for the Celpe-Bras (Certificado de Proficiência em Língua Portuguesa para Estrangeiros) for Brazilian Portuguese or the CAPLE (Centro de Avaliação de Português Língua Estrangeira) for European Portuguese, our personalized approach ensures that each learner's specific needs are met. Using advanced video conferencing technology, we offer interactive, real-time lessons that fully immerse students in Portuguese.

Classes can be customized to focus on the most challenging aspects of each exam. Our native teachers design customized lesson plans to align with the unique formats and expectations of the Celpe-Bras or CAPLE exams, guiding students through detailed grammar reviews, vocabulary expansion, and practice tests that simulate real exam conditions. Additionally, students gain valuable insights into cultural nuances and idiomatic expressions, ensuring they are thoroughly prepared to excel in their exams and communicate confidently in Portuguese.

How do I pay for my Portuguese classes?

We offer a variety of payment options for your lessons, including credit/debit cards and PayPal.

All prices displayed represent the total cost before any applicable discounts or promotions and you can choose to pay in your local currency.

We know that becoming fluent in Portuguese takes time, so unlike other platforms we have a great discount scheme which is based on your booking history rather than how many lessons you can afford to purchase in one go. This means that Portuguese classes on Skype with Verbalplanet become progressively cheaper whether you book one lesson at a time or twenty.
