This is a continuation and revision course from lower levels of Portuguese Beginners study, and is open to anyone wishing to develop their language skills. Students will develop enhanced basic skills in communication, reading, listening, and writing. The communicative and grammatical aspects are integrated in every lesson; conversation and oral drills are integral to the course.

IMPORTANT: Textbook cost is not included in the course fee. In the event of a course being cancelled WEA cannot be held responsible for the purchase of any textbooks. We therefore suggest you purchase your textbooks closer to the time of the course commencing.

LANGUAGE CLASS TRANSFER POLICY
If you are a new WEA Student and enrol into a language class and subsequently find that you are at the wrong level (whether too high or too low), you are permitted to transfer into another more suitable class at no additional cost, provided that the request is made within the first two classes and is in writing from your tutor directly to the Education Manager. After that point, an administration fee of $30 will apply.
