Portuguese language training
Online Portuguese Course: Individual Language Training for Professionals & Private Clients
Do you want to communicate with your Portuguese or Brazilian business partners with full confidence, or do you want to truly get to know the language and culture of the Portuguese-speaking world for a second home, family or holidays? Portuguese is a beautiful, global language, but the specific nasal sounds, verb conjugations and the clear difference between European and Brazilian Portuguese make it a challenge. Traditional group lessons in Portuguese are often far too slow, cover topics that do not match your goals and force you into a fixed weekly schedule that simply does not fit a busy diary. On top of that, a quick, anonymous app is fun for a few isolated words, but you will never really learn to speak the language with it at a business or confident level.
At Instituut Jeroen Bosch, we take a different approach to online language training. With our 100% online individual Portuguese training, you work one-on-one with a highly qualified, certified trainer on your personal learning goals — matching the trainer precisely to the variant you want (European Portuguese for Portugal/Africa or Brazilian Portuguese). Whether you are starting from scratch for your holiday home or want to take your business Portuguese to executive level: with us you get maximum focus and immediate results, without the distraction of a group.
- 100% online, 1-on-1

Why choose our individual Portuguese course?
We combine the best of both worlds. As a label under The Square Mile (25 years of experience), we build on the rich history of Instituut Jeroen Bosch (a household name in Vught since 1968). This means you can rely on more than 75 years of teaching expertise, translated into a flexible, digital learning method for today.
Focused language training. Real results.: Follow your live Portuguese lessons wherever and whenever it suits you, entirely digitally and fitting within your schedule to maximise impact.
Cedeo-certified: Our exceptionally high customer satisfaction and professional approach are officially recognised.
Certified Trainers in the Netherlands: Learn from highly qualified trainers based in the Netherlands who truly understand where you’re starting from. Being based in the Netherlands makes scheduling effortless, while your trainer guides you through nasal sounds, verb conjugations, and regional variations, with deep insight into Portuguese culture and business contexts.
The 50/50 formula: maximum results at a friendly price
50% live online coaching: intensive one-on-one sessions with your personal Portuguese trainer.
50% focused self-study: practical, interactive exercises via our smart app and material.
We measure your progress precisely according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), from level A1 through to C2. Because for Portuguese we often start from the basics (A1/A2), you will notice that in the beginning you make rapid, motivating leaps forward in everyday conversations. As you move towards the finer points of Portuguese (B2/C1), such as advanced grammar, business nuances and specialist jargon, the process demands more time, depth and sustained effort. Your personal motivation and the time you invest in self-study are the key to success here. That is why we do not give hard guarantees on a specific final level, but we do offer you the very best one-on-one guidance.
