Why Study Portuguese in Halifax

Learn Portuguese for Work: Halifax is one of Canada’s main port areas that saw an influx of immigrants in the 1930s and 1950s. Because of its location as a port, Halifax has a very diverse demographic and job market. One of the key benefits of learning a second language is improving your employment opportunities. Learning Portuguese in Halifax can help you to find work with Portuguese speaking firms in the city. Although there are some Portuguese speaking businesses in Halifax, bilingual speakers are highly sought after in translation and support roles with international companies in Halifax such as Securities Canada Ltd, Air Canada Rouge, the Hogg Robinson Group (HRG), Air Canada and Monster Energy.  

Learn Portuguese for Culture: The vast majority of Portuguese cultural events and activities are organised by the city’s Brazilian community. Known for their colorful culture and dance, there is no better place to try out some Portuguese and to get a keener understanding of the culture than listening to some Samba. The Samba Nova is Halifax’s premier Brazilian style samba batucada band who meet every Tuesday at Saint Matthews Church. When you want to explore the city’s Latino events, the Casa Brazil Association of Nova Scotia was founded in June 2017 and routinely organises Brazilian inspired events in Halifax that celebrates Brazilian dance, music, culture, and cuisine. Talking of cuisine, if you want to try out some of your Portuguese phrases, visiting a Brazilian or Portuguese restaurant could really help you. The most highly recommended Portuguese restaurant in Halifax is Pipa Restaurant & Bar on Argyle Street.

Learn Portuguese for Social: If you are learning Portuguese in Halifax and want to meet people, there are some social gatherings and groups that you can take advantage of. The Portuguese Social Club of Novia Scotia meets in Halifax, Dartmouth and other areas of Novia Scotia to promote Portuguese cultural events, cuisine, and music.
