Private lessons of Brazilian Portuguese with a native speaker

Hello,

I've got a bachelor's degree in Portuguese and English, French Certificate given by the Alliance Française, and currently I am doing a Master in Didactique des Langues Étrangères et Secondes (Foreign and Second Language Didactics), with a specialization in FLE (Français Langue Étrangère/French as a foreign language) and in ESL (English Second Language). With knowledge of linguistics, being a native Portuguese speaker, and experience in private lessons, I offer to help and support students in learning and/or developing their skills.

My class is for all levels and all ages.

I believe that pronunciation is very important for good communication, so I work a lot on that with my students. In addition, I am well aware of the challenges faced by French and English speakers when it comes to speaking Portuguese.

I can also help those who have other mother tongues and are interested in learning Portuguese.

I love grammar and the grammatical differences between languages. I think you learn best by having fun.

I am available to answer any questions!

Thank you and see you soon !

Valmir is a really competent teacher, his friendly attitude makes you feel relaxed and his lessons are nicely structured.
Hello, I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Portuguese and English, graduated in French by the Alliance Française, and currently I am doing a Master in Foreign and Second Language Didactics, with a specialization in FLE (French as a foreign language) and in ESL (English Second Language). Rich in linguistic competence and experience in private lessons, I offer to help and support students in learning and / or developing their knowledge. My class is for all levels and all ages. I have found that for good communication pronunciation is very important, so I insist a lot on that with my students. In addition, I know the challenges of Francophones and Portuguese speakers when it comes to speaking English. I can also help those who have other mother tongues and who are interested in English. I love grammar and grammatical differences between languages. I think we learn better by having fun. I am available to answer any questions! Thank you and see you soon !

Portuguese language and culture lessons with a native speaker
The wonderful Portuguese adventure! Advantages of learning a new language: Learning a new language is fun. But what I’m (and you should be) after is not bilingualism but instead biculturalism. We think by aid of words. Therefore language shapes thought. In part this is because working in a second language slows down the thinking. No wonder people feel different when speaking a second language. And no wonder they feel looser, more spontaneous, perhaps more assertive or funnier or blunter. Studies show that being able to speak another language is generally linked to a more flexible brain, developing the brain’s ability to plan and prioritize. Also it betters our defenses against dementia in old age. Advantages of learning Portuguese: • 250 million native speakers worldwide • 5th most common language in the world • It has been an official language since 1297 • It’s usage is spread over 4 continents (Europe, South America, Africa, Asia) Now business, The pace, duration, frequency and schedule of the classes is totally up to the student to decide. The best case scenario is 1-2x per week depending on both parties availability. Focus on diverse subjects is possible, for example, grammar, diction, reading comprehension, written production, conversational skills. In case the student has no specific requests, together we will follow the guidelines of a trusted book (that I myself bring to the class and the student doesn’t need to acquire). In every class the student will be directly influenced by worldwide Portuguese culture ( music, history, geography). Periodically we will evaluate how the classes are evolving so as to rapidly and effectively shift focus to where it is needed.

Learn in a simple and effective way: Spanish - English - Portuguese
Good morning! Buenas dias! Delighted Michaël, teacher on the internet for more than two years. I would like to offer you a fun interaction that complements the school method. I have traveled around the globe which has led me to speak several languages and also to work in particular in England, Australia, Spain or the Dominican Republic. Basically I start the lessons by talking with my students about a bit of everything (in order to enrich the vocabulary). Depending on the level I adapt with files that are sent during the course. I also use the Callan method which works on repetition in order to properly assimilate useful words and phrases. All in a positive way :) Tell me your availability if you're interested for a first lesson. At worst it will have made you practice, at best you improve! Regards

Studying a new language is always a challenge and a great emotion when we manage to understand a word or sentence that we have dedicated ourselves to. Classes will be taught online where you will have the opportunity to ask any questions you have and I will also give you homework.

Learn the basics of Portuguese in just a few lessons
Learning Portuguese. The basics (numbers, letters, wording of sentences, etc.). Learn to introduce yourself, to name objects, conjugation exercises, review of grammatical formulas. Learning in the form of games for children. Scenario for adults. But also many exercises based on listening comprehension (listening to conversation and questionnaires), reading comprehension (reading a text and questionnaire) but also dialogues and debates on different subjects. There will also be some homework to do! I hope to help you achieve your goal...

Alexandra
European Portuguese language - tutor with 5 years experience
Portuguese for beginners When I am teaching other students with a latin language background, listening exercises and conversational practices are introduced immediately. For other languages, I utilize several visual exercises and flashcards in order to help the student to quickly understand the language. Conversational Portuguese I provide private lessons for adults who want to live in Portugal or want to work in Portugal. When we are teaching other students with a latin language background, listening exercises and conversational practices are almost immediate. Intensive Portuguese I provide private lessons for adults who want to live in Portugal or want to work in Portugal. Usually, these lessons are quite intensive with vocabulary, grammar and listening exercises. General Portuguese I introduce grammar very gradually and I make the content related to everyday activities so that a language learner can easily survive in Portugal after a couple of lessons. Aside from that, I use other techniques such mimicking actions to introduce certain verbs in Portuguese and use songs to repeat basic vocabulary in a fun way. Portuguese adjectives I can introduce fun games in order to talk about physical adjectives and I use flashcards in order to speak about psychological adjectives as well.
