Portuguese Language Classes for Immigrants?

[pintarroxo]

I've heard there might be free Portuguese language classes available for immigrants, but one must sign up via the government. Does anyone know about this - what are the requirements, where and how to register?

I'm looking to study Portuguese in Lisboa, but any experience with this would be helpful. Thanks!

Every Camara has to run classes but it all depends on numbers and generally it's one class regardless of ability, Lisboa I'm sure will be different start your search at cm-lisboa.pt op

How to translate web pages from Portuguese to English

thanks for the tip! but a question...

i started to install the translate thing, but a pop-up said that it would access "my data on all websites" as well as my tabs and browsing activity.

does anyone know exactly what this means? at first glance it doesn't look like something i'd want to happen!

Just means that if you go to a website other than one in English it will offer you the opportunity to use the translation service
