This beautiful capital city, located on the Western coast of Portugal, has so much to offer at Christmas-time, that you will never run out of things to do during your stay here!

Christmas tuition in Lisbon consists of 15 group language classes per week (3 lessons a day), which are held between 9:00 and 12:00 Monday to Friday (with a short break in-between).

Students are placed in classes according to their starting language ability level, and there’s a maximum of just 12 people per class. Language lessons cover all aspects of Portuguese, with particular focus on oral communication skills. The school is only closed on Christmas Day, so you’ll be able to enjoy almost completely uninterrupted tuition and Christmas-themed activities as offered by the school.

To maximise your stay in Lisbon, we highly recommend booking homestay lodging. With this type of accommodation, you’ll have your own private bedroom and receive breakfast each day as part of your lodging package. Your evenings are free to eat in local restaurants and experience the city’s attractions and seasonal events. Our hosts are native Portuguese speakers and therefore offer you the opportunity to practice your language skills even outside the classroom. You’ll share the bathroom with your host(s) and any other students in the home. Bed linens and towels are included but laundry is not; your host(s) will be happy to advise you about nearby public services.
If you want a more social experience, you may prefer to select a shared apartment. The school has two apartments, each offering private bedrooms and communal areas such including a kitchen, bathroom(s), and a lounge. The apartments are located just 15 minutes’ walk from the school, so you’ll be close to both your lessons and the city’s best attractions. Rooms are offered on a self-catering basis, giving you the freedom to cook for yourself during your stay. Bed linens and towels are included; the apartments have their own laundry facilities. Please note: you’ll be required to pay a €100 security deposit in cash on arrival, which will be returned to you on departure providing the apartment is left in a suitable condition.
If you prefer, you are welcome to book just your tuition with us and arrange your own lodging in Lisbon.
Please get in touch if you’d like further information about any of the above options.
