Good news for all who’ve fancied learning a bit of Portuguese. The University of Porto just announced a free online introductory course that not only offers basic knowledge of the language, but also takes the learner through a virtual journey in the heart of Porto.

These lessons will come in handy to those who wish to learn how to communicate and interact in Portuguese in everyday situations. These would include greetings, introducing oneself or someone, ordering food in a café, shopping or make reservations among others. Visitors would particularly benefit from the course as they acquaint themselves with a local’s language.

According to a source from the University of Porto, the course is being offered by the Faculty of Arts and the Educational Innovation Unit. It is available to all interested in learning Portuguese, especially students, provided that they sign up on the course page. The page is available on the edX education platform, and signing up is free of charge. No prior knowledge of the language is required since this is an introductory course.

Interested learners can expect up to a study time of 32 hours spread out in eight weekly modules, starring professional actors in the city of Porto. Besides learning Portuguese, participants are in for more treats such as getting to know the way of life of the people of Porto. A trip to the historic city, which is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site is also proposed for a richer experience. At the end of the course, participants should be able to engage in basic everyday conversations.
