Language Immersion

Lessons immerse students in language learning, cultural exploration, and understanding of customs. It’s like going abroad without leaving your home. Positive relationships and meaningful connections drive and improve language study. Using a communicative approach, students get direct and consistent practice speaking the target language.

Flexible Scheduling

Flexible Scheduling is critical for busy students. We work with your schedule. A private instructor comes to you via video chat! Our courses run year-round, and students can start anytime. Lessons can be paused if needed, but expire 8 months after purchase for year-long courses and 5 months after purchase for semester-long courses. Cancel a lesson and reschedule with 24 hours’ notice.

Competency & Project-Based Learning Model

A Competency and project-based learning model allows students to direct their learning experience, apply the knowledge, and demonstrate their learning. Every student is different.

Private Instruction

Private coaching is the best and fastest way to learn. Student-centered teaching creates an environment where students focus on topics of their interest in Portuguese and get the most practice speaking the language.

Support Based On Individual Needs

Our students receive timely, differentiated instruction and support based on individual needs. Varied pacing, active learning, and curated resources allow students to demonstrate progress based on evidence of mastery, not seat time.

How do I get high school credit?

If you have not met your high school graduation requirements for world language, we recommend you talk to your school counselor and let them know you would like to take a LanguageBird course. Most college-prep high schools require 2 years of world language. Some high schools will have you fill out a concurrent enrollment form or ask you to send a transcript once your LanguageBird course is complete. We are happy to work with your high school administrator and counselors!

Portuguese Instructors

Our approach to education is personal and dynamic.

Innovative learning activities, students directed projects, and unique assessments engage students in the learning process. Instructors take notes during each lesson to share with students and evaluate students over time based on personal progress. We don’t believe in timed exams. We do believe in giving students the opportunity to present what they have learned in a format and environment in which they are comfortable. Final projects are presented to the instructor during the final lesson of the course along with any required written components.

Why choose an online middle school or high school language program?

Enrolling your student in a LanguageBird course offers greater freedom and flexibility for their learning than what is typically found in a traditional brick-and-mortar high school and middle school environment. All of our faculty are experienced instructors in the field of education, not just native speakers. Our trained, experienced instructors love to work with high school and middle school students. Students meet with the same instructor building a relationship and skills. Students use our courses to make more room in their daily school schedule to get ahead, make-up a class, or study a language not offered at their school.

The Benefits of Taking Online Portuguese Classes at a Young Age

It is always good to learn a new language at any stage in life. But it’s definitely more beneficial taking them at a young age. The earlier, the better. Portuguese is one of the swifter, most beautiful Romance languages and it’s spoken by 236 million people around the world. It has many similarities with Spanish, although it also has certain particularities not only in its vocabulary but also its alphabet, as some new characters are added to represent some sounds. Still, if your child already speaks any other romance language like French, Italian or Spanish, that will be a certain advantage at the moment of taking online Portuguese classes at LanguageBird.

There are some other advantages to taking our Portuguese classes. Not many people in the US learn it at college or university. That’s crazy considering not only that Portuguese is the seventh most spoken language on Earth but also, that the Portuguese speaking population in America can be counted by the hundreds of thousands; being among one of the biggest Latino groups living in the country. California, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New Jersey are among the States with larger populations of Portuguese speakers. So learning this language can be an extreme benefit for your child’s business and academic career.

Quality Online Portuguese Tutoring with Native Speaker Teachers

At LanguageBird, we believe that learning a language must be an intercultural experience rather than just memorizing words and grammar rules. It must be something that enriches your child’s vision of the world and expands his or her mentality. That’s what generates genuine connections between people and leads to successful experiences, both professional and personal. For this reason, our online Portuguese tutoring stands out from many of the options out there: because our instructors are native speakers who not only can transmit the knowledge but also the cultural meanings of such beautiful, rich language.

Learning from people who not only speaks Portuguese but also live or has lived in Portuguese speaking countries can give the double benefit of both language learning and cultural discovery. Aside from being extremely friendly and patient, LanguageBird instructors also strive to make lessons enjoyable for kids and most of the time they succeed in keeping their attention. Another important thing to highlight is that aT LanguageBird, your child will also have the opportunity to learn Portuguese from Brazil and Portugal as well.

Why Should your Child Learn Portuguese Online at LanguageBird?

There are many more benefits, aside from language learning and cultural discovery when your kid learns Portuguese online at LanguageBird. We understand that children in middle and high school have already enough in their plates between classes, sports, extracurricular activities and so. LanguageBird provides enough flexibility for them not only to successfully learn languages online but also to be successful at school. All of our classes offer flexible schedules for them to learn at their own time.

With us, your child not only has the online Portuguese lessons per se but also many other benefits. All of our students get access to LanguageBird’s Langauge Resource Library, with some of the best online language learning resources in the world; our Langauge Learning Blogs, with tips and tricks for learning languages as well as cultural articles written by our own instructors; the “Bird Bites”, which are 5-minute videos with our teachers analyzing the most common and most challenging concepts in their languages; and “The Nest”, a new series of 30-minute talk shows to explore the language and culture.

On top of that, LanguageBird provides certificates of completion or transcripts upon request, to send to high schools or colleges.
