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.
