With around half of its population born outside the country, Toronto is often referred to as the most multicultural city in the world. Located in Canada, this city boasts 200 ethnic groups and over 140 languages, and one of the most popular of them is Portuguese. According to the 2011 census, there were 429,850 Canadians who claimed full or partial Portuguese ancestry, up from 410,850 in 2006, and there are tens of thousands of Portuguese speakers who live in the city of Toronto. As of 2011, more than 58,000 Torontonians listed it as their primary language and the one they use in their home.

Why Study Portuguese in Toronto

Learn Portuguese for Culture: The Portuguese culture has influenced the city of Toronto in many ways. For example, there is a neighborhood called Little Portugal, located west of downtown in the "Old" City of Toronto. The area is mainly residential, with Portuguese businesses along Dundas Street West and College Street. Also, there is the First Portuguese Canadian Cultural Centre on Caledonia Road, an institution that aims to provide educational programs, services and recreation for people of all ages in the community. And if you like parties and would like to put your Portuguese to use, you can join the first Portuguese Summer Festival and spend a fun family day dancing to traditional music. Sing along to the lyrics and make the most out of this cultural event after taking some lessons with us at Language Trainers!

Learn Portuguese for Social: If you are looking to socialize while using the Portuguese skills you acquire with us, why not join the TorontoBabel: Toronto's International Language Exchange? Its members usually gather in a bar to speak several languages (among which is Portuguese) in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. This is a great opportunity to go and further practise what you learn in your language course! And if you would like to share some Brazilian or Portuguese dishes your fellow members afterwards, you can go to some of the many restaurants that are based in the city. The best Portuguese restaurants in Toronto are great places to go for feasts of seafood and everything grilled, plus flaming sausages and wine. And don’t forget about the chicken, rice, potatoes and hot molho, especially when it comes to takeout. For example, Churrasqueira Martins on Rogers Road serves classic Portuguese dishes, most of them incorporating the fundamental element: the grill. Their shrimp risotto is the tastiest dish you will find, so try and order it with the Portuguese speaking skills you acquire with us!

Learn Portuguese for Work: Learning Portuguese in Toronto can also be an asset if you are actively job-seeking. For example, you can connect with the Federation of Portuguese Canadian and Business Professionals on College Street, an organization that has the mission to promote business activity, foster professionalism and develop networking opportunities. For that, they host forums on current affairs and events which foster business and professional development and that are usually attended by Portuguese native speakers. Why not go along and impress these businesspeople with your newly acquired language skills? The Portugal Canada Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Toronto Chapter) is another institution that can help you in your professional endeavours. The chamber has been promoting and facilitating bilateral trade, investment and business development between Canada and Portugal since 1990.
