As part of the International House World Organization – our vision and mission is to make our courses accessible and affordable to everyone who shares our passion for Latin Languages. We prefer to work around your schedule and availability, and you can speak to one of our consultants about formulating a course that suits your budget!
Expand your opportunities for gainful employment across the Portuguese-speaking world, which spans across four continents. Portuguese is the fastest growing language of Europe (together with Spanish). It is the official language of many countries in South America and Africa; and it is also widely spoken in Asia – with over 230 million Portuguese-speaking people worldwide!
Many Mi Casa of Languages students are of Portuguese descent, but are unable to speak the language. Join them and learn Portuguese to develop a deeper appreciation of your unique Portuguese history, knowledge, values and traditions. It is estimated that 1.3 million native speakers of Portuguese form part of South Africa’s diverse cultural landscape.

TEACHING EXCELLENCE
Highly Interactive Classes
Mi Casa of Languages follows a communicative approach to learning Portuguese. Our classes are highly interactive and offer students an immersive cultural experience that is designed to develop their speaking skills in thoroughly enjoyable lessons.
Small Classes
We like to keep our group classes small to enable our lecturers to give individual attention to each student and ensure that everyone remains actively involved in every lesson. Our students are randomly assessed by two top Universities annually, and for the past 15 years, we have obtained a 100% success rate.
South Africa’s #1 Portuguese Language Institute
Mi Casa of Languages has been voted South Africa’s #1 Portuguese language institute by an independent survey conducted by two top brand houses in the Foreign Language and Communicative Languages category.

After only 3 months I could get by in Spain with basic conversations. Long term goal: Central and South America with advanced conversational Spanish. Thanks, Mi Casa team, for helping me reach my goal!”

Carina Joubert
I lived in California for 3 years and now live and work in Sao Paulo. Over the 5 year period I have attended two Spanish schools in the USA and three Portuguese schools in Brazil. But the only thing I (really) could remember was that it is Hola (with an H) in Spanish and Ola (without the H) in Portuguese. In a final attempt to learn some Portuguese, I eventually ended up at Mi Casa of Languages. A true life changing experience! (people who live in Latin speaking countries will know what I mean). I have learned more Portuguese at Mi Casa in 3 months than I did in two years in Brazil. Finally it all makes sense. The grammar that was beyond comprehension previously just comes naturally now. The material and the way they teach, is as if the course was designed for me specifically. I am so grateful and recommend this school shouting from the top of every mountain!"

Joanna Bell
There is not one Spanish school I haven’t attended or one private Spanish teacher I haven’t commissioned in the past 3 years. I have been to them all and learned to accept their unprofessionalism and arrogance as the norm. The fact that I were so confused and made no progress anywhere resulted in me thinking and believing that the problem lied with me.
My fiancé is a Spanish native, so giving up was not an option. Mi Casa was always my 1st choice, but because they seemed so established, I assumed that they would be too expensive and I would not be able to afford their courses.
My fiancé enquired and they were even more affordable than the other schools two years back. The courses are professionally structured and the course material easily comprehensible. I had a “eureka moment after my very 1st lesson! All I can say is choose right and save yourself the aggravation, disappointment, money and time! Muchas gracias Mi Casa de idiomas!"

Dr. Shikar Muthilal
The tuition received was exemplary and my tutor is always full of smiles. The administration ran like clockwork and the coordinators were always available to provide assistance. I found this particularly important, as being a doctor and often busy, I relied heavily on the flexibility of Mi Casa in accommodating my requests. For such a nominal charge and high standard, this school is certainly a first choice!"

Stacey Goncalves
All the staff at Mi Casa was very helpful and understanding and they generously arranged a payment plan for me, which allowed me to attend classes and make my dream a reality. I found the learning experience fun and culturally enriching. What stood out to me was that we were not limited to only one teacher, but had access to all the teachers and received assistance and input from everyone during the process. All the teachers are so interesting and knowledgeable about everything Portuguese. Class was always different and (sometimes) challenging but there was never a dull or boring moment!
I would recommend Mi Casa of Languages to anyone who is eager to learn and at the same time make new like-minded friends. I’m very grateful for my experience and the opportunity to learn with Mi Casa"

Chantelle Slabbert
Not only do I have an amazing teacher that helps me with the correct grammar, but I have opportunities to talk in Portuguese and enjoy the language.
Their admin team has also been amazing. Because of my work schedule I often have to be flexible and they've been a great support by helping me to still attend my classes. I look forward to continue studying with them so that I can become fluent at a business level and to be able to join in conversations and read about Law and Politics.
To other students: Learning a new language is fun, but don't give up when it starts feeling too difficult. Find a great school, like Mi Casa and keep studying! Then when you meet a new friend that can speak the language too, it's the best feeling in the world! Plus it's fun to gossip ;- )"

Janet Stamper
My Professor was a really good teacher – and the classes were fun and informative. The learning material used was great – and I learnt so much about the culture, history, geography and food of Brazil – and plan to visit that country soon! The social evenings were great fun too, and I have met and still keep up with many of the students I met through the school."

Suretha Kotze
I started Portuguese classes soon after and are still in awe about the friendly service, good teachers and always willing to help attitude. Because of work responsibilities I sometimes need to make other arrangements for classes and they are always willing to accommodate a new arrangement. Their different payment plans also makes it possible to spread out the extra financial responsibility over a couple of months.
Thank you Mi Casa, I am looking forward to the rest of my time with you."

The teachers are very knowledgeable, well versed in both their native language as well as English, extremely patient and attentive to each student.
Mi Casa has been accommodating and extremely flexible when I required extra lessons or when I had to 'make up' missed classes due to work and other responsibilities.
I would definitely recommend Mi Casa of Languages to anyone who is serious about learning a new language."

Acciona Energia
From the very first day Mi Casa staff arrived at our premises, we realised that these guys were in a complete different league than the previous service provider. The appearance of their staff, the professionality in their conduct, the well-presented course material; the list goes on. These guys looked like they meant business and they did!
A few months later, most staff in the training program is conversing in Spanish and our Directors cannot be more pleased with this investment. What also contributed to the success was that Mi Casa also helped us to monitor our staffs’ progress together with our HR Department. We highly recommend Mi Casa of Language to any Company or individual."

Mi Casa is professional and provides top class support and training. The teachers are intellectuals and their passion for their languages and cultures are very apparent.
Our Language course progressed quickly and in 3 short months we feel that the knowledge gained in the course has been worth every cent!
We highly recommend Mi Casa, especially to South African businesses with interests in Portuguese speaking countries in Africa and abroad. They are accommodating and flexible and will ensure that you gain as much as possible from your investment in learning Portuguese (or Spanish of course!)"

The course gave us the framework of learning Portuguese that we could use on our own to progress further in our Portuguese studies where we are based in Angola; by talking to Portuguese speaking people, watching TV and reading.
I am extremely satisfied with the Mi Casa school methodology and the professionalism of its teachers. Our expectations were exceeded."
