Beyond the Classroom: Cultural Events at Portuguese Institutes in Delhi

Linguapol's Portuguese course for Indian learners in Delhi goes far beyond just learning vocabulary and grammar; rather, they believe language should serve as an expression of culture--hence the innovative Portuguese learning course reaches far beyond classroom walls through engaging cultural events, art exhibitions, culinary workshops, traditional music performances, and cultural festivals that create real world learning experiences which enable the students to make deep connections to Lusophone world communities.

The Rise of Portuguese Language Learning in Delhi

Portuguese now has over 265 million speakers globally. Interest in learning has steadily been growing among Indian metro city populations such as Delhi. Business ties between Brazil and Portugal, as well as increased tourism programs and student exchange programs with Europe, have all played an instrumental role in increasing learning numbers by 35% between 2018-2023, according to research carried out by Instituto Camoes - thus explaining this surge.

Linguapol's Fast Forward Portuguese Language Institute program in Delhi stands out by offering structured and internationally aligned curriculum from A1-C1, but what really sets them apart from competitors is their focus on cultural immersion.

Why Culture Matters in Language Learning

Research by the American Council of Teaching Foreign Languages (ACTFL) suggests that participation in cultural experiences helps learners retain 30% more vocabulary and increase speaking confidence, so Linguapol has tailored the Portuguese course with cultural modules for an enriching, memorable learning experience.

At the institute, students learn more than how to speak Portuguese; they gain cultural awareness as they discover why certain phrases and expressions are used socially, festively, or professionally. From Fado performances on Portugal's National Day to Lusophone film screenings hosted at the institute, the institute serves as a cultural bridge.

Students not only acquire language proficiency through communicating in Portuguese but also gain an appreciation of why certain expressions may be used in socially festive or professional situations, providing an ideal gateway into learning the culture behind these language skills! The institute serves as an avenue into culture! Not only are students learning communication, but also understanding why phrases are used in social, festive, or professional contexts when used.
