About Me

I am Thalles, your Brazilian teacher of Portuguese, my native language, which is the most spoken language in the southern hemisphere by more than 200 million people. You didn't know that, right?
Besides Portuguese, English is almost my second native language, because I have been using it for more than 20 years. I know Spanish too.
I have a special passion for Slavic languages. I recently studied Ukrainian and Russian.
Since childhood I am an avid fan of everything international: geography, history, and language learning. Being a teacher of languages is a kind of extension of my hobbies and interests. I also prepared myself for the exams to enter the diplomatic career of Brazil.Me as a Teacher
I want to invite you to do with me a real work of cultural diplomacy, beyond simple language learning. You will learn the Portuguese language as it is currently spoken in Brazil. Also, I will introduce you to the history and geography of Brazil. We will have many things to talk about in Portuguese.
It also doesn’t matter why you are learning Portuguese, I want to help you with your goals. It can be for love or work, or if you like the Brazilian culture, or if you like football (soccer), or if you fight Brazilian jiu-jitsu, I’m here with you.
So, I want to invite you to come with me on this journey. Come with me! My lessons & teaching style
It does not matter if you are an absolute beginner, or already have an intermediate or advanced level, I am here to help you.
I can tailor your pronunciation to sound almost like a native, by using some logical rules based on the sounds of the letters, depending on their position on the word.
Up from the start, you can choose between the standard accents of Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo. I am fluent in both!
My lessons covers all the necessary abilities you need to develop in the Portuguese Language. You will learn grammar topics in an easy way, as well as you will have tons of speaking and reading practice at our classes. If you want, you can train your Portuguese writing skills with me.My teaching material

I really enjoyed my first lesson. I'm a complete beginner with Portuguese and Thalles was patient and encouraging. He explained things very clearly and the materials used were excellent. I'm looking forward to continuing!
