Portuguese is the world’s sixth most spoken language with an estimated 220 million native speakers worldwide. And with Brazil’s growing influence in the international market, Portuguese is thriving all around the globe; especially in Edmonton, home to almost 5,000 Portuguese speakers, according to the 2011 census. So, if you would like to connect with this community on another level, take advantage of the professional opportunities in the city and make the most out of your trips to Brazil and Portugal, then you should consider signing up for a language course. Whether your goals are centered around your job, travels abroad, or your personal life, we will help you secure the appropriate Portuguese course for your schedule and interests.
Why Study Portuguese in Edmonton
Learn Portuguese for Work: Learning a new language, such as Portuguese, will help you stand out when applying for a job. For example, many companies around Edmonton are always looking for bilingual speakers to add to their teams, such as Chemtrade, The Body Shop International and Roche. And if you would like to connect with companies of Portuguese origin, the Portugal Canada Chamber of Commerce and Industry on College Street can help you. This is a private, non-profit organization that has been promoting and facilitating bilateral trade, investment and business development between Canada and Portugal since 1990. The Chamber acts as a contact-and-information point for businesses and community groups and hosts monthly events for their members to network. Take advantage of this opportunity and impress the attendees with your Portuguese skills!
Learn Portuguese for Social: If you are looking to meet new people and put your Portuguese to use outside the classroom, there are many exchange groups you can join. One of them is InterNations, where you can meet Portuguese and Brazilian expats and practise your language skills in a relaxed environment. Another option is the Edmonton Portuguese Language Meetup, a group where you can encounter other language learners and native Portuguese speakers. They get together every two weeks and welcome every level of proficiency, so don’t be shy and meet them to have a good time while improving your speaking and listening skills. And after these meetings, perhaps you would like to go to one of the many themed restaurants around the city to have a taste of Portuguese or Brazilian cuisine. A great place to visit is Sabor Restaurant on 103 Street, where you can order prego no pao and francesinhas using the Portuguese vocabulary and pronunciation you learn in your lessons!
Learn Portuguese for Culture: Edmonton is a city where you can experience Portuguese and Brazilian culture in the form of festivals, parties and other events. For example, the Portuguese-Canadian Multicultural Society of Edmonton has been organizing cultural events since it was established in 1987, such as themed parties with groups that play traditional Portuguese music, such as fado. Sing along to this melancholic music with the pronunciation you acquire with us at Language Trainers. The Brazilian Society of Edmonton is another institution that tries to promote the culture of this fascinating country throughout the city. For example, every Friday, the Society holds a karaoke night that features axé and samba. You can also order mandioca frita, pao de queijo, linguina fina and more traditional dishes and feel like you are in Brazil! And if you are more into parties, the annual Edmonton Heritage Festival celebrates the city’s international connections, including its Brazilian and Portuguese roots. Sample culinary treats, shop for artwork and chat with folks who are proud to discuss their heritage!
