In the Lower Intermediate level you continue to expand your vocabulary and start to elevate your level of language by learning more complex structures such as prepositions and object pronouns and refining the skills acquired in previous levels. You concentrate on speaking correctly and distinguishing between the past, present and future tenses. In addition, you begin to learn about nuances of Portuguese, including correct levels of language to use in various situations.
