Positive aspects of school
A very warm welcome, competent, dynamic and friendly teachers, comfortable premises (fresh water fountain, coffee machine, bright rooms, large tables).
Negative aspects
At the 2nd address, we often waited outside the door, either on the pavement or on the landing of the 4th floor, because of key problems.
City/place
It feels great!
Quality of teaching / language progress
Whenever possible, it would be a good idea to have an English-speaking group and a Spanish-Italian-French-speaking group, as each group would benefit more from the experience.

The teacher (Barbora) was excellent! She explained great, there were good exercises, she let us discuss animatedly at times... Our group was great! I learned a lot and laughed a lot!!! It's a pity that I had to leave already.
Negative aspects
Windows open: Too loud due to street noise.
Window closed: Thick air as the heads are smoking....
Air conditioning makes sense, but I don't like it.

Many thanks to the whole team!
City/place
Lisbon is a light-filled inviting wonderful city with many fantastic perspectives. Tejo and the proximity to the Atlantic are simply enviable. The openness, friendliness and warmth of the Lisboetas - despite the vast numbers of tourists - is deeply impressive. Only the bawling groups of bachelor parties of all sexes are unbearable! Let's hope that Lisbon does not turn into a cheap party mile... This city and the Lisboetas do not deserve that!

Great teacher!!! Wonderful fun group!

Positive aspects of school
The fact that you are taught by different teachers and are thus introduced to the language in a very 'diverse' way. The good atmosphere in the school.
Negative aspects
The frequent malfunctioning of the equipment, especially the photocopiers, which teachers also complained about.
Other comments
The individual lessons in the afternoon advertised by the school are too much to cope with in addition to the 'full immersion' morning; the material can almost only be mastered by taking time out from the lessons to study privately, which is also confirmed by other participants.
City/place
Fascinating and very special

Positive aspects of school
I loved the methodology and the teaching staff, I have learned a lot in the intensive course, I consider it very good, and I would continue if it were cheaper because it is worth it. I recommend this school, I am very happy with how much I have advanced, and how I have managed to speak so much in such a short time. In any case, it has market prices, as many other language schools costs the same or more, and it works very well because the groups are small and very interactive...
Negative aspects
The price: all the language schools in Lisbon are expensive.
Other comments
I would not go to another one because I have loved Lusa Language School.

Positive aspects of school
Teachers and teaching were very good and efficient. I learned a lot. There could have been more varied activities organised by the school instead of just a dinner once a week usually in a expensive restaurant considering there are many really good authentic Portuguese and not expensive ones to choose from.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss
Organisation at the school in general is ok. If you wish to change something the class level or the schedule of the class, talk to the staff and they might be able to accommodate you. That was the case for me when I asked to change from afternoon to morning class.
