Ricardo Santana

A gente falou de algumas costumes do Brasil. Ótima aula! Obrigado

Really lovely class with Ricardo! He carefully walked me through a text I had been working on writing -- a specialized text for an academic talk I have to give in Portuguese. In addition to to helping with the specific translation, he also used the lesson as an opportunity to talk about general rules of grammar and made really excellent stylistic suggestions. The result was a text that was not only a better translation, but also a better talk in general!

Excellent conversation practice with Ricardo! Ricardo can speak on a wide variety of topics. Speaking about what you love is a great way to reinforce your learning, and Ricardo definitely helped me with that.

Ricardo opened many interesting avenues of conversation and unobtrusively corrected errors I made by repeating a mispoken word correctly or by placing the correct word in the chat box. He was attentive to both the flow of conversation and to my usage issues.

Ricardo is very knowledgeable and can help you learn Portuguese by talking about your personal interests and hobbies. He also specializes in reading comprehension, which I find very helpful and enjoyable.

Ricardo is very helpful and patient ! He’s good at correcting when I misspeak and also helps with listening!
