Hello! 
I’m glad you’re interested in learning Portuguese. Our 30-minute trial lesson is a "get-to-know-you" session designed to build a solid foundation for your learning journey. Here is how we will spend our time together:

Level Assessment: We will start with a friendly conversation to evaluate your current proficiency in Portuguese.

Identifying Challenges: I will help you pinpoint specific areas where you face difficulties, whether it's pronunciation, grammar, or listening.

Your Learning Style: Every student is unique. We will discuss how you learn best—whether through visual aids, conversation, or structured exercises—so I can tailor my approach to you.

Teaching Demo: You will experience my teaching style firsthand. I use an interactive and practical methodology focused on real-life communication.

Learning Roadmap: By the end of the session, I will suggest the best study plan and resources to help you reach your goals efficiently.

My goal is to make you feel comfortable and motivated from day one. Let’s start this journey together!

Beginner Lessons: Building a Solid and Functional Foundation 

My approach for A1 level students (Absolute Beginners) is technically structured to turn initial unfamiliarity into basic communicative competence through a streamlined and professional process.

Technical Course Structure:

Applied Phonetics: We begin with the recognition of specific Brazilian Portuguese sounds (such as nasal vowels and open/closed sounds), ensuring your pronunciation is intelligible from your very first interactions.

Functional Grammar: Grammar is introduced as a support tool for communication. We focus on essential structures (present indicative, personal pronouns, and core verbs) so you can construct correct sentences organically.

High-Frequency Vocabulary: I utilize a lexical selection method, focusing on words and expressions that cover 80% of daily interactions (greetings, introductions, and immediate needs).

Communicative Approach: Even at level zero, lessons are Task-Based. You will be encouraged to use the language in simulated real-life contexts, developing listening comprehension and speaking skills simultaneously.

The Goal: By the end of the initial module, you will have the autonomy to navigate basic everyday situations and will possess the necessary foundation to advance toward intermediate levels with grammatical and phonetic confidence.

Intermediate Mastery: Breaking the Plateau and Sounding Natural 

If you can already hold a conversation but feel "stuck" using the same basic words and structures, these lessons are designed for you. My goal for intermediate students (B1/B2) is to transition you from "functional communication" to true linguistic flow.

Technical Focus for Intermediate Learners:

Grammatical Refinement: We move beyond the basics to tackle the "tricky" parts of Portuguese, such as the Subjunctive Mood (Present and Future) and the correct use of Object Pronouns, ensuring your speech is grammatically polished.

Lexical Expansion: We work on replacing generic words with specific, high-level vocabulary and synonyms. You will learn how to express complex ideas, opinions, and emotions with precision.

Cultural Nuance & Idioms: To sound natural, you need more than grammar. We dive into Brazilian idiomatic expressions, slang, and cultural codes that textbooks don't teach, helping you understand the "soul" of the language.

Correcting Fossilized Errors: We identify and fix those small, repetitive mistakes that may have become habits, refining your speech so it sounds more authentic and less like a translation.

The Strategy: Through guided discussion on complex topics—such as society, professional life, and Brazilian current events—I provide the "scaffolding" you need to build longer, more sophisticated arguments.

The Result: You will stop "translating in your head" and start expressing your personality in Portuguese with confidence, rhythm, and a natural Brazilian flair.
