Reviews by former students who attended a course in Porto
Very participative classes and it seems to me that I have improved to start from zero. Interesting Oporto tour.
The school's teachers are pleasant and attentive.

Thank you to Angela and Vanessa who are excellent teachers and always available, the lessons are very well organised, learning the language is easy but of course you have to work after the lessons and above all learn by heart, especially irregular verbs....but this applies to all languages, it's a must. Private lessons are important to develop listening and speaking skills and to work on weak points. The school is close to Sao Bento station.

Fast Forward is a very good school to work in a pleasant learning atmosphere. The teaching staff are motivated and highly qualified. I was also very pleased with the open and friendly contact with the language school management. This is not always the case. I will be back!

The lessons were very effective with lots of information about the Portuguese language and also about the culture and life in Portugal. It was a very pleasant learning atmosphere. Ângela also talked a lot about herself, so that the lessons were always lively and never boring. Questions could be asked at any time and were always answered very well.

Vanessa who has been teaching us in the group classes is an excellent teacher and attentive to the students, adapting the classes depending on questions.
I have now tried studying for two weeks at another language school in Porto, where the teachers were also really good. However, the emphasis there on grammar was too heavy. There is more emphasis on conversation at Oficina and the amount of grammar less, which is much better.

A friendly, informal environment and great lessons. The theory taught mainly in the morning was applied directly in simple dialogue situations in the afternoon. Individual questions and requests were dealt with well.
