So I'm guessing you're applying for citizenship Liz, as A2 is SOOOOO beneath you! All the best on your journey, and all I can say is Portugal should declare you a national treasure - you're a credit to your new country!💫
I love your videos! I'm portuguese but my girlfriend is brittish and you videos are so helpful! You are a great teacher. I use them a lot to try and teach her some portuguese! =)
Hi Liz! Please can you share some videos of preparing for the exam it would be great. Or if you have a class that one can sign up for, particularly for this. Thank you so much! Love your teaching style as it puts one at ease!
Thank you so much for this video and the next one where you discuss what it was like to sit the exam-I started learning Portuguese with the goal of Portuguese citizenship in mind and knew this test was waiting for me 😅 I actually feel SO MUCH BETTER now, thank you! It will likely be ~7-8 years before I sit the exam but what can I say-I like to be prepared! 😊
What a great video Liz, full of exceptionally good advice. It's re-kindled my desire to achieve this objective - again ! Unfortunately I've probably "missed the boat" - I've lived in Portugal for almost 26 years and worked here for the last 21, finally retiring at the end of last year. It was a great opportunity to make good my ambition, predominantly working with Portuguese nationals, but working for a British company in an industry, golf, where the predominant language was/is English. I'm not ready for the CIPLE exam yet, but if you are going to hold more of your "how to pass" sessions in the future, I'd be very interested in taking part.
Sounds good Tony! You should check out my free lesson in the description of this video it will get you off to a good start! Would be happy to help you! P.S. Congrats on your retirement!!
@@TalktheStreets Hi Liz, thanks for your reply. I'd like to register for the free lesson to see how it compares with my current learning régime. I can see one advantage straight away - teacher nationality. I've found it hard at times using a Portuguese teacher ! There shouldn't be a language barrier, but unfortunately some difficulties can, and do, arise. I'm interested in your teaching programme, very interested !
Hi Liz! Love your videos, and would love for you to make a video about moving to Portugal, as I will move to Lisbon myself in around 2 months time. Moving in itself is a big mouthful, but also moving to another country is something else, and I have come across a lot of pratical things that I have no experience with - How to apply for the NIF-number? what do you need the NIF-number for? What's the best way to find a place to rent? What do you have to look out for when renting? etc. It would be really helpful! Also do you have physical language classes in Lisbon that I can sign up to?
Totally unrelated to this video, but it would be cool to make a video about the language used in Pimba music. Lot’s of fun (and naughty) puns and double meanings to learn and understand how Portuguese people actually talk.
Thank you! That came really on time for me. Do you think you can also share information about the higher levels of the exam? I’m planning on taking B1 or even B2 this June (haven’t taken a Portuguese exam before) and any advice would be super helpful!
This is great, as a Brit wanting to keep EU citizenship, with zero knowledge of Portugal I grabbed residency at the very end of 2020 and this is the hurdle! It is daunting to learn any language later in life and clueless where to start and what is needed! Your overview really helped thank you!! Can I ask, how easy would this be compared to say, a GCSE?
As someone who is a native English speaker but speaks multiple languages and has lived in South Asia, I've found that when I am living in another country, it's daily use and really having to speak in day to day interactions with locals that make it much easier to learn the language. And people can be so helpful in making gentle corrections, just by listening and speaking and repeating and using it daily, and getting past the self-consciousness that comes with fumbling with something new, you can really rapidly improve quickly and get to A2 in a few weeks if you're really studying a lot, or a few months if you're more casual about it. And it seems like if you move to Portugal and are making a point to learn and use Portuguese in day to day life, you'll pick up the language quickly and it will be relatively easy to pass this exam after five years of practice. But if you only spend time with people who speak your language fluently and don't really ever use Portuguese, it will be more difficult. Getting outside of your comfort zone and spending time using the language is really important! I just wish there were more apps for learning and practicing European Portuguese when not yet in the country.
This was very helpful. It helped me to not be fearful. I downloaded your practice tests, but couldn't download the listening audio file. Can you repost? Or is it in your Portuguese Pro materials? I signed up for that yesterday.
Hi! Thanks for all the great videos. I've been living in Portugal for six years and will be taking the CIPLE next month (yikes). I appreciate the links to the practice tests, however is it possible to see what the answers are? Thanks Liz!
Sorry Karen these were a one off! Where are you at with Portuguese? Are you ready for the exam or getting started? If you are getting started take my free lesson for beginners!
It's important to keep in mind that not all foreigners applying for Portuguese Citizenship are required to take the CIPLE exam. If one of your parents or grandparents are Portuguese by birth, you have a legal right to claim citizenship by bypassing the language and resident requirements. This is written into the Portuguese constitution. Of course, you'll still need to learn the language if you plan to live in Portugal, but this can make the process of obtaining citizenship MUCH easier if these terms apply to you.
@@deborahfigueiredo8731 I have received conflicting information from various sources. The Portuguese Consulate in Washington D.C. says on their website that people with at least one Portuguese grandparent has to demonstrate some proficiency in the language to secure citizenship, but according to a legal firm I found in Portugal, that requirement was waived in 2015, but has yet to be signed into law by the president, meaning that it should technically be possible to bypass both requirements if you only have descent through a grandparent. In addition, the nationality requirements stated by the Portuguese Ministry of Justice (Instituto dos Registos e do Notoriado - IRN) on their website provides the criteria for people with immediate Portuguese ancestors, but gives no mention of grandparents or there being a language or resident requirement. It can therefore be assumed that you don't need to learn the language to apply for citizenship in the case of having descent through a Portuguese grandparent. I would think that the ministry would have the most accurate information, but it's difficult to know who is correct. In my own experience, the consulates here in America have given me false information regarding the citizenship requirements. I was told that I have to know Portuguese to apply, which isn't true because my parents were born in Portugal. I have spoken with various agencies in Portugal and with a lawyer who is currently processing my case and they told me the opposite: I am waived from these requirements because I have a legal right to do so. Therefore, concerning nationality through one's grandparents, I think it would be wise to talk to someone in Portugal who has authority on this matter, just to know for sure. Many speak English and are both friendly and helpful. Do not talk to the consulates, especially in the United States. They are rude, jaded and incompetent -- how they still have their jobs is beyond me.
@@mycoffeequest6634 Thanks for the info! I live in the US, and the consulate website and the info I was given in person was that I needed to pass the CIPLE. I am coming to Portugal for the month of August 2022. Can you recommend anyone to talk to while I'm there? Thank you!
@@MultiFastie Also, please keep in mind that ongoing global events have complicated this process. Portugal's bureaucracy is notorious for being slow and inefficient; it's a culture that likes to take its time, regardless of how that might affect other people. It can take weeks, sometimes months, to receive simple documentation (such as a driver's license). Obtaining citizenship is no different. Under normal circumstances, the process would take around six months (or so I was told). But recently, this has changed. COVID has of course slowed everything down and the bureaucracy has received a sudden surge in citizenship applications. After Brexit, many British citizens resented the break from the European Union and sought to renter by gaining Portuguese citizenship. This is because Britain and Portugal have a long and somewhat intertwined history, so many Brits have direct Portuguese ancestry that allows them to bypass this problem. These events have unfolded alongside the war in Ukraine, which has forced many refugees into Portugal, who want to gain citizenship as a means to enter the European Union and, thus, obtain protection under the NATO military alliance. All of this has created a perfect political storm that has taken an already complicated situation and made it worse. The system is therefore overwhelmed with requests and is, quite simply, backed up. My own documents (along with hundreds of other people's) were destroyed when officials responsible for processing them overloaded a printer and it caught on fire. I had to resend EVERYTHING out of pocket. Remember this going forward. Don't be discouraged! But expect to wait at least two years, likely more. That was the timeline that I was given.
Liz, your videos are amazing! I envy your accent. Do you by chance have a recommendation for a Portuguese workbook? I’d like to have structured learning and practice more writing and grammar. Would love any advice you have.
@@TalktheStreets me neither… but I want to feel like I’m following a plan/path. A bit like what you get with DuoLingo but will also help me to learn grammar
This is such helpful information - thank you! Do you know if the test is required for those who are trying to obtain citizenship as the spouse of a Portuguese citizen (in my case, we have been married for more than a decade)?
Can you recommend an in-person and also an online course for preparation for the A2 exam? My 19 year old daughter has studied Spanish for five years but will need to take the Portuguese A2 exam for citizenship. (She has had NO Portuguese up to this point.) I'd like to send her to Lisbon for a few weeks later this year (intensive) and then supplement with online lessons until she takes the test. Any thoughts? Many thanks, I loved your explanation of the exam.
Thanks for this. But have they recently changed format and context of this test? I have done three different “previously held” tests with my local teacher. But they are all on level B1, including use of conjuntivo. In addition to the sections you mention, there was also free-style short essay writing? I would be interested in your comments.
@@TalktheStreets ahaha we love you too ❤️ But I will have to now return sooner from my V-Day dinner. Oh well, Portuguese is also a love interest of mine.
Thing is, some ppl I can understand no problem when they're speaking PT. When my wife. Om speaks, I can understand a fkn thing because the woman can talk whole convos with her fkn teeth together
When I was relocated by work to Portugal, part of the 'deal' was I was given a 60 hour course in learning Portuguse at a local language school. At the end, I sat a test and received a certificate to say I was grade A2 ('... during the academic year, he completed a 60 hour Portuguese course at this institute, grade A2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, in which he obtained a rating of 18...'). Does this mean that when I eventuially apply for citizenship, I can simply show this or will I have to still sit the exam? Of course, I would like to learn more Portuguese and move up into the B or C groupings since I am permanently settled here now.
What you have is not sufficient. However, if you take 150 hours of classes at a recognized institution - usually at least 75 hours for each module - and obtain the certificate, then you can bypass taking CIPLE. In Portugal, all legal migrants have access to free courses run by organisations like Qualifica or the Red Cross. Usually, if you get the certificate for the course or not is based on attendance and ongoing teacher assessment and not on exams. Going to these types of schools rather than more expensive language classes is best for two reasons. First, it is free. Second SEF and Camaras are accustomed to dealing with certificates from these organisations. Compared to the CIPLE exam this is absolutely an easier way. There have been cases known to me where students from these schools passed the courses but failed CIPLE.
@@thecryptostrategist2433 Thanks. I thought that might be the case. I'm going to the local Associação ao Serviço da Vida (SEIVA) in Porto who are running a Portugues Lingua de Acolhimento course later this week anyway, but I thought I'd check whether the course that work had offered would be what was required. The work course was free for me as work paid for it, and the SEIVA course is free to me as an immigrant.
Don’t you have mod problem in your apartment? During winter time we get mod on the wall near window and my leather products tend to get mod. How do you avoid the problem? If you have this experience…
My husband and I have tempoary residency as of Sept 2021. We are not seeking citizenship but do plan to seek permanent residency at the 5 year point. Are we required to pass the A2 exam for permanent residency? Thank you in advance for your response.
No. If you dont need a portuguese passport you dont need this exame. But need to go to SEF every 2 years to renew the residency, if after 5 years living in Portugal is more easy to pass the test and dont need again to go to SEF. It's a very easy test my friend is a lawyer and until now every her clients pass without troubles this test.
So I'm guessing you're applying for citizenship Liz, as A2 is SOOOOO beneath you! All the best on your journey, and all I can say is Portugal should declare you a national treasure - you're a credit to your new country!💫
Haha yes I don’t really need to sit this exam but I wanted to create content around it to help my students!!

Alternatively, one could get property there and just come and go. That’s what most British Cypriots do in Cyprus to avoid problems.
I’ve been advised that if you’re over 60 years of age you’re exempt from the language exam. True?
Does each section of CIPLE require 55% to pass, or can one section score less than 55%?
Is this the Portuguese language proficiency exam like DELF/DALF for French and DELE for Spanish ? Or are there any other ?
