Beginner Level
This course is designed for beginners who want to learn Brazilian Portuguese and explore its rich culture. Taught in English, the course covers essential vocabulary and phrases based on real-life contexts, fundamental grammar, and conversation skills focused on practical language use. Special attention is given to pronunciation improvement. My dialogic teaching style encourages interaction, using slides, games, and engaging activities to make learning enjoyable and effective. No prior knowledge of Portuguese is required—this class is perfect for absolute beginners! The supportive, small-group setting allows for personalized attention and direct feedback, making it easy for learners to follow along, ask questions, and progress at their own pace. Whether learning for travel, cultural connection, or personal enrichment, students will gain practical language skills in a fun and encouraging environment. I strictly follow Outschool’s refund and reschedule policies, with no exceptions beyond what Outschool allows. All students must keep their cameras on during class unless they have an official Outschool verification badge. Additionally, I do not accept social media requests or exchange personal contact information to ensure compliance with Outschool’s policies. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
