▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⭐Course Overview⭐ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ Welcome to our Portuguese language course! In this class, you will learn important concepts such as the days of the week, months of the year, how to read and write the date, numbers, colors, shapes, counting, number order, letter names and sounds, and rhyming. You will have daily practice to improve your Portuguese skills. During the course, the teacher will be using slides to ensure that students can clearly see the information. The teacher will also be using their hands, facial expressions, voice intonation, and body movements to both engage and help students learn and understand what is being taught. Moreover, we will use chanting, rhyming, singing, and a lot of call and response activities to make learning fun and interactive. You will constantly interact with your classmates and teacher throughout the lesson. 📅 Are you looking for a class that meets 1x, 2x, 3x, or 4x per week? Send us a message about a class frequency change. 💬 We can also accommodate learners and families wanting full immersion vs. bilingual classes. Send us a message to learn more! ▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🌍Target Student🌍 ▬▬▬▬▬▬ *This class is designed and most appropriate for NON-NATIVE speakers of Portuguese but all students are welcome to join. *Students should have some familiarity with the letters of the Portuguese alphabet.
