Portuguese courses for companies
“If language be not in accordance with the truth of things, affairs cannot be carried on to success.”
[Confucius]
Why learn Portuguese in a work context and what for? Let us tell you more about our Portuguese classes for companies...
At work, exchanging e-mails, phone calls, conference calls, online and in-person meetings, traveling, visiting clients, participating in conferences, are frequent activities. For these to be as productive and effective as possible, being able to communicate in the same language is essential to ensure that the work, negotiations, all joint projects and the relationship with the other party, whether a client, a partner or a coworker all go well.
In this regard, in our Portuguese courses for companies, we want to make to learn Portuguese easier for our students (managers, collaborators, clients, partners, etc.) to understand and be able to communicate in Portuguese with multinational and national companies located in Portugal or in countries where Portuguese is an official language.
What's more, communicating in Portuguese opens the door to a Portuguese-speaking market of 250 million people across all continents.
Today, Portuguese is the fifth most spoken language in the world and the third most spoken European language. It is the official language of Portugal, Brazil, Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, São Tomé and Príncipe and East Timor. It is also used in Macau, a territory under Portuguese administration until 1999, and in Goa. Portuguese is also the basis for a score of languages and claims to be an important minority language in countries such as Andorra, Luxembourg, Namibia, Switzerland and South Africa through the work of numerous Portuguese communities residing there.
