Guide to Portuguese Levels from Beginners to Advanced
Unless you are a complete beginner, everyone will be tested on the first day of class so that you can be placed in the right group with others of a similar level. However, it is important for us to know what level you think you might be before you arrive so that Portuguese language schools can plan the different levels and groups. To decide which level you are at, read our short guide to Portuguese language levels below:
Complete Beginner - Portuguese
You have no prior knowledge of or experience with the Portuguese language, or you haven’t studied the language within the last couple of years. Many language schools only accept beginners on set dates throughout the year, always check the 'suitability' section which you'll find under the course itinerary to check if you can join the group on the date you wish to travel.

With some effort, you can get by in predictable situations. You can ask & respond to simple questions and you have a basic knowledge of grammar, different tenses and word order.
Intermediate - Portuguese
You can easily get by in the Portuguese language on a daily basis. You have a reasonable understanding of the tense system and simple sentence structures. You can ask & respond to a wide range of common questions and express yourself in familiar situations.

You’re able to use the Portuguese language appropriately, at a high level, in unfamiliar situations, and with few mistakes.
