An

Full Day

You have a home, the sun is shining, and you are grateful for your new life but still feel like something is missing ?

Hi, I'm An. Or Ana for the Portuguese . I arrived in this beautiful country only five months ago, but in that short time, I have learned to speak and understand the language and even made Portuguese friends! And I did it all without taking a single language lesson. Not because I have some sort of magic potion or extraordinary talent, but because as a language specialist, I know the ins and outs of learning a new language.

I want to share everything I know with you and help you break through the language barrier, just like I did.

Imagine:

• Learning the language without having to go back to school (yes, it can be done!) and putting your skills into practice in the real world with us.

• Getting an inside look into the unique culture and way of life of the Portuguese people

• Making new friends, both expats and Portuguese!

• Indulging in delicious Portuguese cuisine, and learning to cook it

• Discovering Portuguese music (no, not Fado!)  

All while having fun and admiring the stunning surroundings! Make meaningful connections with like-minded expats and locals, and become an insider to the rich culture of this beautiful country.

Don't just exist, experience life to the fullest in Portugal!
