Portuguese is my second language of 20+ years. I have a love for the language, culture, and people of Brazil, and I love to share that knowledge, enthusiasm, and passion with my learners. Furthermore, because of my professional background in studying phonology and linguistics in teaching English as a second language, I have a unique perspective and understanding on how to teach and learn language. Plus, I find language and culture learning fun!
