Portuguese Connection
- Portuguese Connection Lisbon is located in the historic, coastal city of Lisbon, Portugal. A city famed for its culture, delicious food, beautiful buildings, and good weather, Lisbon is a popular destination for students worldwide. The Portuguese Connection school is housed in Principe Real Square, in the heart of the city, and is within walking distance of many shops, cafés, restaurants and many of the city's attractions. Within a moment's walk of the Lisbon Botanical Gardens, The Museum of Natural History and Science, the Mirador of São Pedro of Alcântara, and the Principe Real Garden, students have much to enjoy in the proximity of the school. There are excellent links to public transport, ensuring that the Praça do Comércio, the Castelo de S. Jorge, and the 7 hills of Lisbon are ...just a short journey away. Lisbon International Airport is within a 40-minute journey of the school via public transport.
The school focuses on communication throughout its teaching methodologies. Use of role-playing and outside learning activities in natural contexts, such as going to the market, assist students in linking their learning to the real-world uses of Portuguese.
Portuguese Connection Lisbon resides in a historic building but has a modern interior, with walls painted in graffiti and spacious communal zones equipped to provide comfort. The school also has a library, computer lab and offers free WIFI. All classrooms have heating and ample natural light to create an optimal learning environment.
