Classes

I teach specifically Brazilian Portuguese,  so you will learn the culture, customs, and curiosities of Brazil.
My goal is to increase your conversational fluency in Brazilian Portuguese through a mix of pronunciation training, vocabulary building, grammar exercises and real-time dialogue with your native Brazilian teacher.
