In this short session you will have a preview on how are the classes I offer on iTalki. It's the moment to answer your questions, to know me better and construct a personalized study plan for you. (Taking into account of course the types of classes I offer).

ENGLISH 
(To get the most out of this class, I only recommend it if you can already speak Portuguese - even if only at a lower intermediate level - and can already understand a good amount of what you consume)

No more ‘study mode’ – just real-life Portuguese that sticks. Ready to make learning your new addiction? 😉

Learning is much more fun when we jump into real-world and engaging materials. Why should you bore yourself with grammar drills when we can use the power of movies, songs and other media to seamlessly learn?

With me you can:
🎵 Breakdown and discuss about a song's lyrics.
🎬 Watch an excerpt of a movie or tv show and dissect its content, to finally understand idiomatic expressions, slangs and other components of real-life portuguese
📖 Read a book and get in contact with a more formal Portuguese you might not find in real life.

Learning should not and will not be boring in this class!

LET'S SPEAK PORTUGUESE: IT SHOULD NOT BE ROCKET SCIENCE (A2-C2)

🏠 Beginner Stage - Setting the Ground Rules:
Starting from the basics, you will learn the sounds, basic tenses, and slowly develop your speaking skills. I have a couple of textbooks we can choose from based on your experience with Portuguese, as well as your expectations for the future with the lessons. 
We can start 

🧠 Intermediate Stage - Challenging Yourself: 
That's where your snowball begins. Now that you have the groundwork done, it's time to challenge yourself more. Still using textbooks if necessary, you'll start to do more talking than in the early stages and our practice moments get slightly harder each time.

🚀 Advanced Stage- Conquering the plateau:
That's where people normally stagnate. But not you. We'll move on to more advanced text/video, and our practices will involve trickier aspects of the language that you're now ready to tackle. It's your moment to work on the details and have the Portuguese level you have been dreaming of for a long time.

So, are you ready to go from zero to hero? Book your class now, and let’s turn your Portuguese dreams into reality! Vamos nessa! 🚀

Studying Material:
- Textbooks
- Dialogue books (for speaking practice and vocabulary)
- Short texts
- Exercises
- Videos and songs

Portuguese From Zero to Hero [Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Learners!]

Hospitality is a job field that I reluctantly began working and I felt in love. Dealing with tricky situations, a lot of pression and very picky people are some of the biggest challenges I discovered while working on a 4⭐ hotel, but is also an opportunity to grow and prove myself.

Practicing the languages I speak (or am learning), meeting people from all over the world with different accents and backgrounds is worth more than what my offensively low monthly wage can buy 🙂

For nearly 5 years, I’ve been crafting words that turn clicks into connections ✨ as a translator, SEO content writer, and proofreader at Captain Words – a content agency dedicated to helping brands dominate search engines and captivate audiences through razor-sharp storytelling.

My day-to-day includes:
✅ Writing high-impact blog articles on topics ranging from AI to relationship advices (yes, really!).
✅ Translating and polishing content to ensure it sounds native, not robotic.
