Looking for European Portuguese lessons that aren’t going to cost me an arm and a leg and are in person.

Submitted by Bitanium69 t3_1254f6o in boston

My whole family us from Portugal and I’m the only one that doesn’t speak it. It’s very frustrating when I go to visit friends and family and I can’t even communicate with them or get through the city without feeling like I don’t belong. I also want to learn so I can get my Portuguese citizenship. I’ve exhausted all the options I found online as they were either only offering Brazilian, Online classes, classes that cost 3k, or just straight up stopped offering classes. If anyone knows anything or anyone that could help I would really appreciate it, this is kind of my last ditch effort to find a teacher as the only place I’m still waiting to hear back from is MAPS. I have a relatively flexible schedule and a car to commute if need be. Thanks to anyone who can help.

There is a Portuguese American Civic League in Inman Square, they'll probably be able to point you in the right direction.

I’m having a great expense on DuoLingo for French and googling the differences between French-French and Montreal-French.

I've been wanting to learn for dual citizenship too actually. Rola Languages was the place that I kept getting recommended specifically because they'll teach the European version

I have considered an exchange like this but the thing is that most official language classes can specifically teach what I need to pass the language test on the citizenship exam. So while something like language exchange would be very beneficial as a supplement, I would really like to learn through an actual class to begin.
