Student opinions about Lusa Language School, Lisbon
Montserrat
54 years
“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...”

Sofia
24 years“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.
