By tailoring our lessons to the individual, we aim to nurture the initial excitement that comes with learning any language and, in turn, help our students become truly global citizens.
LINGUISTIKA
Learning Portuguese
As the official language of 9 countries, Portuguese is the second most widely spoken language in South America and among the top ten in Africa, with almost 220 million native speakers and a further 50 million foreign language learners. ​
In addition to advancing one's career, learning Portuguese promises better access to countless extraordinary travel destinations known for their rich culture, awe-inspiring natural landscapes, and an abundance of delicious food and beverages. Portuguese is an important language in the sphere of diplomacy and economic development as it is the working language in some of the most important international organisations.
Following our success teaching German and French for many years, Linguistika is proud to have partnered with Portuguese native, Carla Figueiredo, to design a Portuguese syllabus that makes learning the language of passion more accessible than ever before.

Private / Semi-Private Tuition
Confidence is key to learning and mastering any language. Through working privately, each student is given the opportunity to bond with their tutor allowing for a deeper connection and a learning environment where they feel comfortable and safe. The tutor is able to adapt the lesson to the student, allowing for a more focused approach and, in turn, faster progress.
​
Languages by their very nature are, however, social and interactive, which is why we also offer a semiprivate option for our younger students allowing them to learn from their peers as well as their tutor.
Small Group Courses
Practicing a language is vital to being fluent. For this reason, we host group courses for adult students seeking a more affordable alternative to having multiple weekly lessons.
Each week, a maximum of five students attend two group lectures, where concepts are explained and demonstrated, and one private lesson with a tutor to allow students to practice and revise all concepts covered during the lectures.
This blended method of learning ensures the perfect balance between regular practice, self-study and individualised attention.
