The city is known for its port wine, in addition to the historic centre being registered as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The school is housed in the Bolhão neighbourhood, famous for its Mercado de Bolhão, where students can buy some of the finest fish and herbs around, all under the market's neoclassical structure. There are also several eateries, amenities and attractions within walking distance of the school. Such attractions include the ViaCatarina shopping mall, the Coliseu Porto Ageas, the Chapel of Souls and the Igreja de Santo Ildefonso church.

Course selection: In addition to General Portuguese available to students of all levels, over several schedules and intensities, Oficina de Portugues Porto provides group and individual Skype lessons, private tuition and combinations of in-person group and individual lessons.

Social and cultural: Furthermore to classroom teaching, the school likes to hold outdoor classes in and around the city.

“Thank you to Angela and Vanessa who are excellent teachers and always available, the lessons are very well organised, learning the language is easy but of course you have to work after the lessons and above all learn by heart, especially irregular verbs....but this applies to all languages, it's a must. Private lessons are important to develop listening and speaking skills and to work on weak points. The school is close to Sao Bento station.”

“The lessons were very effective with lots of information about the Portuguese language and also about the culture and life in Portugal. It was a very pleasant learning atmosphere. Ângela also talked a lot about herself, so that the lessons were always lively and never boring. Questions could be asked at any time and were always answered very well.”
Disliked
“The pace of the course was a little too fast for me. However, this was due to the fact that I had absolutely no prior knowledge. I would have benefited from a few more direct, simple exercises in class to reinforce what I had learnt.”

“The school was really welcoming and Vanessa worked so hard as our teacher. I enjoyed the classes and made a lot of progress in confidence with listening. It was a nice atmosphere in a class where I felt able to contribute.”
Disliked
“When I arrived, I was not given any information at all about the timings of sessions, breaks, materials, or programmes for the week. I was just asked to join a class, which took up from where it had left off last week. Some basic information would be helpful. It would also be a massive help for newcomers to label the bell downstairs - I didn't know which one to ring. The classes were mainly conversation with very little teaching which is fine but information that is useful for new clients to know. There is no computer or projector, just photocopied pages from a book. I found the materials not very inspiring and I think if I am investing in a course, I would be prepared to buy a book if it were a useful one. There were no afternoon or evening activities which I don't think was made clear. More information which would be useful. To sum up, the teacher was lovely and knew how to teach Portuguese well but there are some things which the school could do better. ”
Review details
Other comments It's very small - only 2 groups. I thought there would be a level test at the start and several groups but really just beginners and then all the rest in one group. That means in group 2 some people are out of their depth and others are having to wait while things are explained that they already know. I think people should know this setup in advance.

“Vanessa who has been teaching us in the group classes is an excellent teacher and attentive to the students, adapting the classes depending on questions.”
Disliked
“The level during the first week was a bit too low for me as I have some base in the language, not a complete beginner. I mainly felt that from questions from other students during the classes, most of them were about things I knew, meaning the questions and answers were not useful for me. This can of course happen in group classes, but not in private classes. I haven't tried private classes yet but aim to do so later. There were no social activities in the first week and nothing announced for this week either.”
Review details
Other comments I have now tried studying for two weeks at another language school in Porto, where the teachers were also really good. However, the emphasis there on grammar was too heavy. There is more emphasis on conversation at Oficina and the amount of grammar less, which is much better.

Review details
Quality of teaching / language progress: A small school with a nice staff. I found that the courses were given a bit quickly for a beginner. The course material could be a little more careful, it is often double-sided photocopies, but where the back was in the opposite direction to the front. I would have preferred to buy the course book. But overall I feel like I have made some progress because as of the second week I started to catch words in the phonetic 'soup' of Portuguese, for example in the subway or in the street. It would be nice to have a room available for reading, doing homework, etc. All in all a very good stay. Thank you to my teachers Angela, Tereza and Rita.

Insider tip: “The school should have a more individual approach with the methodology of learning the language.”
Review details
Quality of teaching / language progress: I would appreciate it if the methodology of teaching would concentrate more on practicing what we learned instead of teaching us new grammar and lots of new vocabulary almost everyday. However, all teachers were very kind, patient and nice. I also appreciate very much that they let me attend 4 hours per day.
