Living in Other, Portugal

Hi! I was born in Portugal and have been living here all my life. I have a Bachelors Degree in Languages and Communication and a Postgraduate in Teaching Portuguese as a Second Language. As a teacher, it is my priority to make my students feel comfortable and not be afraid of making mistakes, so I'd like to think of my classes as a safe space to learn and to ask every single question, even the silly ones. The class structure and content must be discussed with the student. For that reason, I recommend doing a trial lesson (where we can get to know each other and talk about lesson plans and goals, assess current language level, etc.) before booking a package.

Today we had our tenth revision session by dictation. We found this has been a very useful exercise because I can revise the vocabular and practice listening and sentence building at the same time. With these ten sessions, we have basically revisited all the topics we studied in A1/A2. We decide from next class onwards we will do conversation practice again, and hopefully this will help me not only to build up more vocabulary, but also to consolidate the conjugation of verbs in various tenses that I have learnt up to B1. Look forward to that! A big obrigado to Laura for her company for my Portuguese language journey.

Today's lesson was extremely useful. In addition to some free talking in the beginning, we revised the topic on food but in a novel way - dictation of words and sentences. In the process, I can not only refresh my memory of the vocabulary, but also pay good attention to the actual pronunciation in normal speech. I am so glad that Laura took time to prepare this which is exactly what I need at this stage - having completed learning the B1 grammar but still rusty and awkward, especially with listening. We have decided this will be the way to go in coming lessons, at least before I feel ready to embark on B2. Muito obrigado Laura!

Laura is an excellent teacher. She was my professor at Nova Lisboa Universidade last year and did a masterful job leading lively and productive lectures, keeping everyone engaged. No time was wasted. As a one on one instructor she is, similarly, very focused and very knowledgeable. Her English fluency helps a great deal for primarily English speakers as she can explain the nuances of Portuguese in both languages. 5 stars out of 5!

Today we embarked on a new stage of my study - consolidation of what I have learned so far (B1). We will focus on speaking and listening in coming weeks. Look forward to more drills and perfection!

Today we started the last chapter of our B1 textbook. We talked about facts and impression about Portugal (and Hong Kong) and it was so interesting! Obrigado Laura!
