We are moving to Lisbon and know only basic Portuguese. Many people say English is widely spoken, but I do not want to be the foreigner who expects everyone to adjust to us. I also worry about school communication, doctors, apartment management, and government offices. How much Portuguese did families need?

You can survive with English in many Lisbon situations, but Portuguese changes the emotional experience. Without it, every appointment feels like you are hoping someone will rescue you. Learn practical phrases first: school, pharmacy, apartment repairs, doctor symptoms, banking, greetings, and apologizing for your Portuguese. People responded warmly when I tried.
