Your colleagues and yourself can be trained by our native-speaking fully-qualified Portuguese tutors at a time and location to suit you.

Portuguese courses of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival Portuguese - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying Portuguese usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these Portuguese classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in Portuguese culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in Portuguese.
These Portuguese lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn Portuguese to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners course, students can expect to finish the course with decent telephone and e-mail Portuguese, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.
If there are 2 or more of you with the same level of Portuguese, the same targets within the language, and be able to study at the same time and location, then you'll be happy to know that these Portuguese courses can also be made available for Two-to-One Portuguese Courses or Small Group In-Company Portuguese Courses. Listen & Learn do not generally recommend classes of more than 6-8 people, although Taster courses in Portuguese can run with up to 12 people. Bookings must be made for all participants at the same time.

Kansas City
The third largest city in the state of Kansas, the population of KCK currently stands around 150,000 people. Kansas City is one of America's more historic cities, reflected in the amount of interesting architecture and momentous landscapes - including a replica of Paris' Arc de Triomphe, the Rosedale Arch. The city also has a rich legacy of filmmaking, often being used as a location for Hollywood productions. This often attracts immigrants to the city, and Kansas City has something of an ethnically diverse population. A great place to learn Spanish with the recent influx of Hispanic and Latino cultures, many other languages are also spoken within city limits.
