There has never been a better time to learn Portuguese, the fascinating language of fado, capoeira, and samba. Did you know that Portuguese is the 6th most spoken language in the world, with over 260 million native speakers? And almost 2,000 of them live in San Francisco, according to the 2011 census. Learning Portuguese in San Francisco, then, can give you a major advantage when applying for jobs with Portuguese-speaking companies in the city or help you make the most out of your visit to Portugal or Brazil. You will also be able to connect with the Portuguese speakers who live in the city. Getting started with Language Trainers is really simple, and we can start designing a Portuguese course tailored to your needs and skills as soon as we get your message!

Why Study Portuguese in San Francisco

Learn Portuguese for Work: Learning Portuguese will help you land your dream job in San Francisco. There are many companies, such as Wix, Glassdoor, or SoundHound Inc. that are looking for bilingual speakers to join their teams. And if you are actively job-seeking, you can contact AICEP Portugal Global on Montgomery St., a network of professionals who identify local business partners for Portuguese companies and assist with the implementation of their business plans in foreign markets. If you are interested in networking with Brazilian companies instead, you can get in touch with the Brazil California Chamber of Commerce on Wilshire Blvd, an institution that tries to promote relations and commercial trade between Brazilian and US entities. Take advantage of those networking opportunities and impress Brazilian and Portuguese entrepreneurs with the language skills you acquire with us!

Learn Portuguese for Culture: Those more interested in experiencing Brazilian and Portuguese culture in San Francisco have many opportunities for doing so. For example, you can join the activities organized by the Bay Area Brazilian Club. Established in 1965, this is the oldest Brazilian social/cultural non-profit organization in the United States. This institution always hosts cultural events and celebrations, such as Brazilian Independence Day, which brings thousands of people together every year! Also, they bring performing artists, such as Carlinhos Brown and Sergio Mendes, to San Francisco, so you can try and meet them after the shows to put your Portuguese pronunciation to use! The Lusitano Club of California is another institution that organizes cultural events in San Francisco. For example, every year since 2013, they have been hosting the Portuguese Heritage Night at Oracle Park, a dinner that celebrates Portuguese culture with food, wine, and games!

Learn Portuguese for Social: And if you would like to make some new friends with an interest in Portuguese, you can join the SF *Brazilian* Portuguese Language and Dancing! meetup. Its more than 2,600 members get together every month to practice the language and discuss everything related to the Brazilian culture. They welcome new members and are excited to meet new people, make new connections, and share common interests, so don’t be shy and take advantage of this opportunity of practicing what you learn in your lessons with Language Trainers! After the meetings, you can visit some of the many Brazilian restaurants in the city, such as Espetus Brazilian Steak House on Market St. There, you and your new friends can sample some feijoada and prego no pao. The restaurant also has a Portuguese wine list, so if you would like to have some port, this is the perfect place to order it!
