Brazilian Portuguese



The classes are adapted to your need: private classes on skype at your place or office, in-company annual programs as well as walks through the city, speaking only in Portuguese. If you want to prepare the examination of Portuguese as a foreign language Celpe-Bras, I can help you.


Who Am I?



I was born in São Paulo, Brazil, and I currently live in Madrid, Spain. I have got a degree in Public Relations and a Master degree in Education-Teacher Training, and several teacher-training courses in Europe. I believe that learning a new language is a way of generating opportunities to enrich our cultural background, experience life from new perspectives, to open new doors and facilitate agreements and negotiations. I like using technology to spread knowledge, shorten distances and connect ideas.

Learn Portuguese


Learn by Doing


The classes are designed for the learner to enhance written as well as oral communication  in Portuguese in a self-confident way, so that s/he ends up thinking in the target language.

Resources


I use real life material or realia to simulate daily life and business situations, so that the learner gets in touch with the Brazilian culture through Portuguese language.

In context


I combine the seriousness of the business environment to a light learning, thinking out of the box and avoiding the commonplace filling in the blanks exercises. I support learning by using real life context.

Principles


Respect diversity and different learning styles (auditive, kinaesthetic, visual or mixed); Encourage the meaningful learning through experiencing and being in contact contact with the culture; promote the learning to learn skill and autonomous learning.
