    Portuguese for beginners and advanced learners: made easy

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    Olá!
    My name is Dina and I come from Portugal.
    I have lived in Switzerland since 2013 and have been passionately teaching Portuguese since 2015.

    Would you like to learn Portuguese with ease?
    One of my strategies is that I focus on different topics in the lesson, eg conversation, grammar, pronunciation, etc. You can tell me beforehand what your goal is and I will implement your wishes didactically.

    I offer online classes or at my home.

    The most important thing for me is that I can convey to you the joy of learning the Portuguese language.

    I look forward to meeting you.

    About Me

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    As a child - born in Lucerne, by the way - I dreamed of becoming a teacher. When I was seven, I went back to Portugal with my family because my parents wanted us children to grow up in their home country. There I studied sport psychology and then did my master's degree.
    In 2013 I moved back to my “native country”, Switzerland. When I arrived here at the age of 28, I immediately felt at home. German is still a huge challenge, but I love writing, grammar and the typical jumble of words in a foreign language!
    In 2014 I started teaching Portuguese in Lucerne. This quickly led to a passion for teaching. It turned out that this was exactly the right path for me, as more and more students contacted me, the more I immersed myself in the matter.
    In 2017 I completed the SVEB course (course instructor) at the “Berufsakademie” and I founded my own company “Learn Portuguese”. It reflects the skills I've developed over those years. In order to be able to respond even better to my students, I visit an online "Postgraduate: Portuguese as a Foreign Language" at the Lisbon University. Since 2019 I have also been working as a lecturer at two language schools in Lucerne.
    Portuguese is a passion that I would like to share with you. I would like to encourage you to discover this melodic language together with me! I am here for you and make learning easy and efficient.

    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.
