  • “Hello all, I did a Portuguese class (intermediate level) with Barbara to prepare my application to a Master of Science at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. It's been both efficient and pleasant. I strongly recommend it here; fun and professional, best teacher I have ever had. I've passed the entry test and I'm about to finish it, thanks Barbs!”

Intermediate Portuguese questions

How do I know whether I am intermediate?
Intermediate learners already have a foundation in Portuguese and want to speak more freely, expand vocabulary, and improve accuracy. Barbara can discuss your current level before you choose a lesson.
Is the speaking club suitable for intermediate learners?
Yes. The speaking club is designed for intermediate and advanced learners who already have foundational Portuguese and want active conversation practice.
Can intermediate lessons focus on business or travel?
Yes. Lessons can be shaped around practical conversation, business communication, travel, pronunciation, grammar, or culture.
Are online and Gold Coast options available?
Yes. Intermediate learners can ask about online lessons worldwide and in-person options on the Gold Coast.

Example intermediate practice

Adapted from a published Speaking Club topic: plan a trip with another learner, ask follow-up questions, and adjust one part of the plan. Practise understanding a partner, responding with useful detail, and reusing one vocabulary or grammar pattern. This is a suggested task based on the published topic list, not a claim about a recorded class.
