Expect to pay approximately €15/h for one hour of Brazilian Portuguese tuition in Waterford.

What influences the final cost:

The main contrasts are:

• Pronunciation: In Brazil, vowels are pronounced fully; in Portugal, unstressed vowels often disappear.

• Grammar: Verb forms for ongoing actions differ: "estou fazendo" (Brazil) versus "estou a fazer" (Portugal).
