    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How to learn Portuguese in Kalamazoo, MI and what are the possibilities in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using special programs, you have several key possibilities for learning Portuguese interactively in Kalamazoo, MI. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, ask about the centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are a little more affordable.) Your 2nd possibility can be local private language academies that charge less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, international learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Finally, you can find a private Portuguese tutor in Kalamazoo, MI. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Kalamazoo, MI and online Portuguese tutors.

    🎟 Is it expensive to learn Portuguese and what do Portuguese tutors charge?

    For university and college courses you can estimate Portuguese course cost by dividing annual tuition by ten (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the price of 45-48 course hours each semester. Language schools and independent Portuguese tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the better priced Portuguese tutors can be found online, with rates on Preply averaging 17 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, ratings and languages the tutor can teach in. Real student rating average for Portuguese lessons on Preply is 4.97 out of 5 stars.

    📚 What are the requirements for Portuguese language skill level to sign up for a course?

    When considering college and learning center classes be prepared pass a few pre-requisites. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework load and testing, so research all such requirements in advance. With personal Portuguese tutors you can read reviews and get a good idea for whom the tutor is effective with and which other extras they make available (like teaching children or teens, etc.) For more flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Portuguese so hard and are there ways to learn it the easy way?

    Standardized language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Portuguese. In reality, you can gain basic Portuguese fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback a few hours a week you will be able to understand most phrases, be understood when you talk, socialize in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a fast and fun way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Portuguese. After gaining basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Portuguese tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced learners.

    🤷 How long does it take to get better at speaking Portuguese?

    Some people seem to have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Portuguese will require at least 600 hours of practice. The length of time can differ by a lot depending on your available level of Portuguese or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, try typing using your new language skills, try to communicate with native speakers to speak with, try other ways to think and speak in Portuguese out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Portuguese classes online.

    🤳 Can I pick my own Portuguese teacher?

    In language learning academies, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, of course! The largest selection of pre-screened Portuguese tutors with full profiles and real student reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.

    🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?

    Colleges as a rule offer classes two times weekly over a semester (75-day period). Language schools usually give shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can take as few as one lesson a year, as many as several a day - and as many (or as few) as you want during any time of day, on weekdays and/or weekends.
