Find Portuguese lessons near me in Lake Forest

The basics of Portuguese vocabulary rest on a few simple word groups.

• Everyday greetings such as bom dia and obrigado, among the first words any learner picks up.
• Basic numbers and time expressions, needed for prices, dates, and appointments.
• High-frequency verbs such as ser, estar, and ter, the backbone of basic sentences.
• Question words like onde, quando, and como, key for holding a conversation.

With a private instructor, these basics become second nature much more quickly.
