For reciprocal practice, arriving in an English–Portuguese group is only the first step. Agree how both partners will benefit, and check whether the next event is actually in Lisbon or online.
Downtown conversation without a fixed language clock
Lisbon Portuguese-English Exchange
The organisers describe weekly meetings around Largo do Intendente for all levels, with English and Portuguese switched by mutual agreement. Check the next event for exact café, time, RSVP and purchases; the area description is not a precise meeting point.
A Sunday online route, with occasional physical meetings
SPEAK FREELY Lisbon/Oeiras
The community meets Sundays on Zoom, with occasional in-person meetings in Lisbon/Oeiras. It is reciprocal English-Portuguese conversation, not lessons. Portuguese learners should understand some basics and contribute in Portuguese too. Confirm the individual event&#x 27;s mode and any fee before planning travel.
A two-language agreement
Could we spend a short agreed time in English, then the same in Portuguese? Would you prefer corrections during the conversation or at the end?
That is a proposed agreement, not either organiser’s published timing rule. Start with a manageable topic such as a recent daily task; prepare one follow-up in each language you can offer.
Three details to save
- The exact Intendente venue, rather than only the square.
- A physical address or Zoom joining information for the selected date.
- RSVP, any fee and café purchase conditions.
