People interested in studying any foreign language wisely choose to not only study it, but also live it, in the native country itself. For Chinese, Japanese and other Asians cheaper English lessons can be obtained in countries where English is Second Language like the Philippines and India.

But for some who are learning Portuguese, the highly accented language in Portugal, and a primary dialect in Macau, living in Lisbon for some serious Portuguese is recommended. Language schools in the cities of Lisbon, Faro, and Porto boast of specialized training for foreigners, proven teaching methodology and experienced native speakers. Flexible instruction styles have been developed to accommodate learner from all over the world. Lessons include the use of audio video equipment in the classroom and integration of daily experience using local newspapers and exposure to local activities and issues.
