Olá! I’m Débora

I am here to help you learn Portuguese!

In my years traveling and living abroad I got to know for several times the process of learning a new language, I fell in love with it as well as with teaching. 

My method revolves around identifying patterns in language and helping you to connect what you already know from the english language or other latin languages to portuguese, while helping you to train your hearing and develop a good pronunciation of sounds.

I have years of experience teaching in my beautiful Portuguese community and everyone who wants to integrate it.  

I tendentially work a lot with the structure and logic of the Portuguese language as well as with the funny and most passionate side of it. After all, a language expresses its people and culture. 

They say ‘In Rome be Roman’, well in Portugal be (a bit) Portuguese. It will make your life easier! 

Either you just want to learn the basics or go all the way till fluency, I’m here to support you on your journey!


Testimonials

  • The previous two courses have helped me speak way more in my daily life. I always had a fair vocabulary due to living here for a long time but I never knew how to use it and didn’t want to sound stupid by only being able to speak present tense. The pace, motivated group and expectations made me learn a lot faster and I am continuing the course because it really holds me accountable to learn and gives me a safe space to speak. Thank you for your dedication and interesting classes Debora, it’s by far the best language course I had - and let me tell you I tried a few!

    Lisa Kranz, Germany

  • "I took all the Portuguese classes with Debora, from absolute beginner until the end. From the first class Debora managed to keep me interested and motivated to spend 2 hours, twice per week, after a full work day, challenging my brain with learning a new language. I really love her more casual style, her humor, and her focus on teaching me how to speak - rather than tiring my brain with too much grammar and written perfection."

    Luís Geisselhardt, Germany

  • "Débora’s classes are great for learning Portuguese! I wasn’t a very good language student in school back in the days. Turns out for no reason at all. She does a great job! What I like most is that she works with you on theory as much as on speaking. So the classes are very balanced and I can actually use all the knowledge I learn, directly in my day-to-day life here in Portugal. The pace of the classes is great and you really feel yourself improving."

    Layla Eldekmak, Lebanon

  • Débora, you made learning Portuguese very fun! The subjects we talked about were very actual and engaging. There was a really good balance between learning theory and then applying it to conversations and practical use. To get to know the other students and practice together was a big plus for me.

    Ann-Sophie Paternoster, Belgium

  • The classes with Debora are really fun! She is such a lovely teacher, who is very patient and adjusts easily to your learning ability. If you want to learn about specific things, she has it ready next class and is always super helpful with questions or doubts. The Portuguese language is not the easiest one, but with 15 classes I can easily have an informal conversation and find my way through Portugal.

    Solange Ellenbroek, Holland

  • Débora’s classes provide all the tools you need to learn Portuguese quickly. The teacher is super energetic and very patient. She never leaves any student’s doubt unexplained and always ensures you understand. Additionally, you gain a great amount of knowledge about Portugal and a priceless local’s insight into Portuguese culture! Recomendo muito!

    Jan Mroz, Poland

  • I simply can’t recommend Débora’s Portuguese classes enough! I look forward to going every week as she makes the classes feel intimate and engaging. Her teaching style is spot-on, striking the perfect balance between challenging the student and providing patience and support as the student navigates through to their understanding of a particular concept. In addition, Débora’s warmth and kindness shine through equally to everyone in the class, regardless of their level of understanding, making learning feel comfortable and effortless. Plus, her sense of humor and wit arguably turn what the daunting task of learning a language into a really fun experience.

    Christopher Weisler, USA

  • My boyfriend and I attended classes for over 10 months. Débora is a great teacher. She’s a good mix of patient and strict, and she was really accommodating to both of our learning styles. There is enough structure in class for the learning to continue and progress, and enough looseness to have fun and incorporate your own learning style. We really enjoyed the classes, learned a lot, and would definitely recommend them. It’s really rewarding to be able to have a conversation with someone and feel more part of the community. Thank you for that!

FAQs

  • This is a Course for anyone who is interested in moving to Portugal or any Portuguese speaking country, who is already living in Portugal but still struggling to integrate the language and culture, or for someone who is simply curious about the Portuguese language. If you already know a bit but want to improve your Portuguese, this course is also for you since we have all levels going.

  • No student is the same. The course has some degree of adaptation to different student’s needs. We have had language learners from all ages and walks of life with different experience levels. We all have different rhythms and this method is designed to connect you with the language and culture, at your own pace.

  • We have had students from 6 to 75 years old. Age is no barrier to learning a new language, and it is extremely healthy and beneficial for your brain to learn a language at any point in your life.

  • If you need to pass a language residency exam we can guide you to attain your goal but we don't provide certification used for residency or visa purposes.

  • We offer video classes (learn when and where you want, at your own pace), online group classes (learn with the videos from anywhere in the world and come to the weekly classes with my personalized guidance)  and in person group classes (take advantage of practicing & interacting with other students, in person). These group classes allow you to meet other students and receive a collaborative and dynamic learning experience.  

  • One of our main aims is to break away from the traditional classroom experience. We try to make your lessons as personalized and enjoyable as possible. We are always taking feedback and working to ensure that your language learning experience is the best.

  • Language learning doesn’t have to be a rigid process. The regularity of weekly classes is something many people appreciate, but our Video Courses are entirely flexible to your own timetable. In addition, we will always make sure you have revision materials and work to do outside of classes to keep you in the zone.

  • We provide different course formats and structures for any budget. Priced very competitively, they allow us to provide the highest quality language learning experience at the best value for you. 

  • We love language learning apps and tools! However, as users of these will know, there is no substitute for guided learning. While apps are fantastic at reinforcing vocabulary, the personalized tuition provided by a native speaker is invaluable, and helps reinforce your learning. This is because it helps your brain form more absolute connections between words and experiences. 

  • With several years of experience in providing quality language classes in different formats, to more than 250 students from at least 30 different nationalities, we are always on hand to help with your language learning needs. With a native speaking teacher providing guidance in Ericeira, a beautiful fishermen town 30 min away from the capital Lisbon, there is no better place to start your language learning journey than with Lingua Language Classes. But don’t just take our word for it, check out our testimonials for what our students have to say.
