Skype Portuguese lessons

You don't need much to learn Portuguese with Skype, but you will need the following before you can start your classes:

• Hardware:
  • A computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone with a reliable processor and sufficient RAM (at least 4GB recommended).
  • A webcam for video calls, either built-in or external.
  • A microphone, either built-in, in a headset, or an external one, for clear audio communication.
  • Speakers or headphones to hear the tutor clearly.
• Software:
  • The latest version of Skype installed on your device - it's easy to use and free to setup an account.
  • A compatible operating system (Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, or Linux).
  • Optional: Additional software for screen sharing or document collaboration if needed for lessons.

Regarding connection speed, we recommend a minimum internet speed of 1.5 Mbps for both download and upload for high-quality video classes. However, a faster connection (3 Mbps or higher) is ideal to ensure smooth and uninterrupted sessions, especially for high-definition video quality.

We've been at the front of helping people to learn a foreign language over the internet since 2006. All our tutors are specialists in enhancing fluency, building speaking confidence, and ensuring an efficient and effective path to becoming fluent in Portuguese.

We are rated as Excellent on Trustpilot and have been featured in the WebUser Language Awards and the Times Online.

Additionally, our friendly customer service team is available to address any questions and concerns. We also offer an extra trial lesson if you're not completely satisfied with your Portuguese tutor after your first class.

We are dedicated to helping individuals excel in official Portuguese language proficiency exams by connecting them with experienced native teachers. Whether you're preparing for the Celpe-Bras (Certificado de Proficiência em Língua Portuguesa para Estrangeiros) for Brazilian Portuguese or the CAPLE (Centro de Avaliação de Português Língua Estrangeira) for European Portuguese, our personalized approach ensures that each learner's specific needs are met. Using advanced video conferencing technology, we offer interactive, real-time lessons that fully immerse students in Portuguese.

Classes can be customized to focus on the most challenging aspects of each exam. Our native teachers design customized lesson plans to align with the unique formats and expectations of the Celpe-Bras or CAPLE exams, guiding students through detailed grammar reviews, vocabulary expansion, and practice tests that simulate real exam conditions. Additionally, students gain valuable insights into cultural nuances and idiomatic expressions, ensuring they are thoroughly prepared to excel in their exams and communicate confidently in Portuguese.

We offer a variety of payment options for your lessons, including credit/debit cards and PayPal.

All prices displayed represent the total cost before any applicable discounts or promotions and you can choose to pay in your local currency.

We know that becoming fluent in Portuguese takes time, so unlike other platforms we have a great discount scheme which is based on your booking history rather than how many lessons you can afford to purchase in one go. This means that Portuguese classes on Skype with Verbalplanet become progressively cheaper whether you book one lesson at a time or twenty.
