Portuguese Language

Introduction

Conversa Language Services is one of the few places in greater Ottawa that offers Portuguese! All of our Portuguese students were delighted to find us! And, when requested by the student, we can offer an instructor from either Brazil or Portugal.

Customized Program

Customized courses are offered in the following areas, based on participants’ needs:

  • Tourism/Travel
    For both business and vacation travelers, to learn the basic aspects of travel such as: at the airport, going through customs, taking a taxi or other means of transportation, at the hotel, ordering in a restaurant, asking for directions to services such as the post office, bank, embassy, etc.

  • Government
    (intermediate or advanced levels) - commerce and trade, diplomacy, negotiations, politics, administration, environment

  • Technical/Industry
    (intermediate or advanced levels) - telecommunications, engineering, agriculture, etc.

  • Intercultural
    for the person interested in communicating in a foreign language both linguistically and culturally

Some of the above courses will be scheduled only if the minimum number of participants is attained. On the other hand, “customized” courses, by definition, are usually taught as private lessons.
