GOLDEN SKILLS – FOR YOUR FIRSTS DAYS IN BRAZIL - 18 hours
An introductory module, ideal for new arrivals to Brazil. The course is aimed at meeting the everyday, basic needs of first-time visitors. We teach the vocabulary and simple grammar required to survive during the first days and weeks of transition. These include ordering food, understanding about Brazilian food, using public transport, introducing yourself, calling a taxi, ask for information, simple conversations, asking for directions and others.

BASIC LEVEL - I and II - 27 hours each
Our basic level offers a continuation from Golden Skills. As well as improving the learner’s ability to communicate in Portuguese more effectively, it uses cultural immersion to enhance both understanding of the language and of life in Brazil. In this module, we also offer the Cultural Immersion Experience, an optional complement to the student’s classroom learning.

INTERMEDIATE LEVEL - I, II and III 18 hours each
Here, new vocabulary themes are explored and we begin to tackle comprehension of longer texts. At Intermediate level, we deepen cultural understanding and develop comprehension of the student’s environment. Cultural Immersion Experiences is always offered optionally to students.

ADVANCED LEVEL - I, II and III 18 hours each
The learner is already able to communicate well and demonstrates good understanding of the language. At Advanced Level, it’s necessary to further improve skills, explore news ways of communicating, and deepen intercultural exchange.

FLUENT LEVEL
A good command of Portuguese. The Fluent level increases the learner’s confidence and goes in-depth into course themes, with a focus on the student/group’s needs. Personalised classes.
