Portuguese Lessons in Akron

Our Portuguese speakers, fully qualified to teach their native tongue, can train you and, if need be, the rest of your group at a time that is suitable to you, at your home or place of work. Sessions can take place on the day of your choosing - even weekends - and at the time you want: whether it be morning, afternoon or evening. If circumstances arise where your home or office is not convenient, the classes can be held at your trainer's office. Resources for the lesson are provided for you.

Portuguese 1 to 1 General

These Portuguese lessons fit a broader spectrum, and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival Portuguese by the end of their lesson, which will provide them with enough Portuguese to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of Portuguese culture and those who just wish to pass a particular Portuguese exam.

Portuguese 1 to 1 Business

Portuguese lessons of this type are aimed towards those that need to learn Portuguese to aid them with their employment. For those just starting out, it is integral to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and reading and writing can be adopted once the simple precepts are out of the way. Success has come from students who are involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, those seeking jobs in multinational companies, and those working with foreign colleagues, academia and bureaucracy. Just our most basic beginners lesson will have the student finishing the lesson with basic telephone/e-mail skills in Portuguese, as well as survival Portuguese should a short stay in the country be needed.

Portuguese Facts

Portuguese and Spanish may have strong similarities, but there are also gaping differences; such as a widely differing stock vocabulary (i.e. basic, common words), very different word endings, and a more complex usage of the definite article ('the')

The vocabulary of Portuguese is mostly from Latin, but there are influences from Arabic, as well as words from the Phoenician and Carthaginian languages

Portuguese is not only the official language of Portugal - it is also the first tongue in Brazil, Cape Verde, Mozambique, Angola and Guinea-Bissau

For Teachers

Akron

How centrally located is Akron? Over half of the entire population in the United States lives within 500 miles of the city! Founded in 1825, Akron sits near both the Ohio River and the Erie Canal, making it a hotbed for the imports and exports that fuel business profits in the area. The city of Akron is also known as the 'rubber capital of the world' thanks to tire companies such as Goodyear and General Tire that have historically called the town home, transforming it from a tiny burgh into a player on the world's automotive stage. Akron is also home to a vibrant multi-cultural community, with a quarter of the residents African-American and one of the fastest growing Asian and Latino populations in the state of Ohio. With a unique mix of nationalities, and the ever-present international business community that benefits from the nearby waterways, learning a new language in Akron can lead to great things.
