        Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

        🌆 How do I skill up on Portuguese in Wellington and what are my options in terms of commitment?

        Besides self-study using apps, you have several key options for learning Portuguese interactively in Wellington. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, check centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are better priced.) Your second possibility can be local commercial language academies that cost less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, international learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Last, you can opt for a private Portuguese tutor in Wellington. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Wellington and online Portuguese tutors.

        🎟 How expensive is it 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 cost of 1/2 of a hundred class hours each semester. Language schools and independent Portuguese tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with private classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the more affordable Portuguese tutors can be found online, with rates on Preply averaging 16 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor country of residence, ratings and specialization. Customer review average for Portuguese lessons on Preply is 4.97 out of 5 stars.

        📚 What level of Portuguese do I need to sign up for a course?

        When considering college and learning center classes be prepared demonstrate proof of your current level. 'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework load and testing, so research the details in advance. With personal Portuguese tutors you can find out in advance for whom the tutor is effective with and which other specializations they make available (like intermediate level practice, advanced students etc.) For maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from a wide selection of those teaching online.

        🔥 Why is Portuguese so challenging and are there ways to learn it more effectively?

        One-size-fits-all language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Portuguese. Realistically, 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 many phrases, be understood when you talk, shop and place orders in about a year. Finding native speakers is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid and affordable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Portuguese. After acquiring basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Portuguese tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced level practitioners.

        🤷 How long does it take to master 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 demand at least 600 hours of study. The length of time can differ a lot depending on your already acquired level of Portuguese or knowledge of other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch television, write using your new language skills, try to communicate with native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in Portuguese out loud. If it's more difficult than you had imagined you can also take conversational Portuguese classes online.

        🤳 How many possibilities do I choose among when I select the right Portuguese tutor?

        In colleges and universities, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, of course! The largest selection of pre-screened Portuguese tutors with video profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.

        🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?

        Colleges as a rule schedule classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools typically give shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
