Brazilian Portuguese classes with Rodrigo de Sousa

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Online and on-demand Brazilian Portuguese classes for Spanish-speaking adults.

Welcome! I am delighted to introduce you to my online Brazilian Portuguese classes, designed specifically for Spanish-speaking adults like you. My goal is to give you the opportunity to learn Brazilian Portuguese in an effective and entertaining way.

Communicative approach: In my classes, I follow the communicative approach, which means that we will focus on developing your oral and listening communication skills. Through interactive and dynamic activities, we will work on the active practice of the language so that they gain confidence and fluency in Brazilian Portuguese.

Thematic classes: I recognize that each student has their own interests and needs. For this reason, we offer thematic classes chosen by yourselves. They will be able to choose the topics they want to explore, such as culture, travel, business, gastronomy and more. I will tailor the lessons to fit your preferences and goals.

One hundred percent classes in Brazilian Portuguese: From the beginning, our classes will be conducted entirely in Brazilian Portuguese. I believe that total immersion in the language is essential for effective learning. Through a combination of dialogue, interactive activities, and authentic materials, I will provide you with a realistic immersive experience that will help you improve your listening and speaking skills.

Let me share my experience as a Portuguese teacher. I have one year of experience teaching Portuguese in Colombia, where I have had the opportunity to teach Spanish-speaking students interested in learning this beautiful language. During this time, I have developed a pedagogical approach that adapts to the needs and abilities of my students, providing dynamic and effective classes.

In addition to my experience as a Portuguese teacher, I have also worked as a trainer for Spanish-speaking content moderators, teaching them Portuguese specifically for moderating content from Brazil. This role has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the cultural and linguistic particularities of Brazilian Portuguese, and how to apply them in real life contexts.

My experience as a Portuguese teacher in Colombia and as a trainer of Spanish-speaking content moderators has given me a comprehensive and practical perspective on how to teach the language, adapting to the different needs and goals of my students. I am committed to providing you with an enriching educational experience, encouraging effective communication and the development of strong language skills.

I look forward to sharing my knowledge and experience with you in our online Brazilian Portuguese classes. Together, we can achieve your language proficiency goals and enjoy a successful learning journey!

Group classes admit a maximum of three students. To ensure an optimal experience and effective learning, it is recommended to book a minimum of 5-10 consecutive classes. This structure allows students to immerse themselves in the learning process continuously and make significant progress in their Brazilian Portuguese proficiency.

By limiting the group size to three students, I can ensure personalized attention to each of you. This allows us to focus on your individual needs, provide targeted feedback, and encourage active participation in learning.

Group classes offer a valuable opportunity to practice the language with other classmates, encouraging interaction and the exchange of ideas. Through group activities, discussions and collaborative exercises, they will be able to improve their oral communication skills and strengthen their confidence in the use of Brazilian Portuguese.

Booking a package of consecutive classes will allow you to maintain continuity in your learning and establish an effective dynamic in the group. In addition, by committing to a specific number of classes, they will be able to enjoy a preferential rate and secure their place at the time that best suits their needs.

Don't wait any longer to immerse yourself in Brazilian Portuguese. Contact me today and start your exciting language journey! I am eager to help you achieve your communication goals in Brazilian Portuguese.

Welcome to my online Brazilian Portuguese classes!

I offer 90-minute classes divided into three 30-minute blocks, with a 10-minute break in between. I use platforms like Zoom or Google Meet to teach my classes. To ensure an optimal experience, classes must be reserved with seven days notice. In addition, it is important that the student shares the main topic of interest so that he can prepare the best class adapted to his needs.

In my classes, Brazilian Portuguese is the only language used. Through the communicative approach, I make sure that the topics and language are relevant to the needs and reality of my students. This gives them the opportunity to practice and develop their language skills effectively, as they immerse themselves in authentic communication situations and contexts.

Using authentic resources and materials, I encourage active participation and student interaction so that they can apply what they have learned in real situations. Likewise, oral and listening practice is encouraged through interactive activities, debates and practical exercises.

Remember that it is essential to book your classes in advance so that you can prepare the right material and adapt it to your specific needs. Together, we will work to help you achieve your Brazilian Portuguese proficiency goals in a dynamic and effective learning environment!

The classes are designed to be an enriching experience, where you will fully immerse yourself in the Brazilian language and culture. I am excited to accompany you on this linguistic journey and help you achieve success in learning Brazilian Portuguese. I hope to see you soon in our classes!

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Hello,

My name is Rodrigo, I am 33 years old and I am from Fortaleza, Brazil. I speak English, Spanish and Portuguese.

I started my career as an English and Spanish teacher at Wizard By Pearson in Maracanaú, a city near Fortaleza. For almost 4 years, I worked with approximately 150 adult learners at the school and at local businesses. This experience was fundamental in my professional development, since it allowed me to acquire skills in ethics and human sensitivity. In addition, I discovered a passion for psychology, which I studied in my university degree.

Currently, I am finishing my degree in Psychology with a specialization in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. This training has provided me with tools to deal with heavy workloads, handle pressure and collaborate effectively in teams. In addition, I have developed negotiation and conflict resolution skills, as well as a focus and determination to achieve goals.

In March 2022, I had the opportunity to work as a Trilingual Social Media Content Moderator for Teleperformance in Bogotá, Colombia. In July of the same year, I was promoted to Trilingual Trainer, specialized in Content Moderation for Brazil and Portuguese-speaking countries. During my time as a trainer, I have had the opportunity to train and develop more than 90 content moderators of various nationalities and cultural backgrounds, especially Colombians, Argentines, Venezuelans and Mexicans. My focus has been to teach them community policies and guidelines, as well as provide them with essential social and emotional skills for the job, such as resilience, discipline, and time management.

In addition, I have collaborated in the development of a market-oriented training program, which includes language and culture classes applied to content moderation for non-native Portuguese speakers. This initiative has significantly improved moderation accuracy and trading results.

My experience in the field of content moderation has allowed me to learn about cultural differences and handle culture shock situations effectively. I've also worked collaboratively with QA teams to develop hands-on tests with real, up-to-date content to prepare content moderators for the job.

In addition to my professional background, I have a strong interest in social media and its impact on our lives and relationships. I believe that working in this field requires sensitivity, quick thinking and an understanding of online trends and culture.

I am looking for job opportunities in Europe, especially in Portugal and Spain, as a language instructor. Currently, I am in the process of obtaining a work visa for Portugal.

I am a committed and hardworking person, with skills in technology and social networks. I love working with people, especially in large teams, and I have strong skills in time management and training.

I am a simple boy, I come from a humble and hard-working family and everything I have achieved in my life has been with a lot of work and effort. I believe that people can achieve whatever they want in life if they work hard for it.

I like to make friends, go to the beach, read books in Spanish and English, listen to Latin music and be with my family.

I don't know how to cook, I'm the worst with pots. I don't know how to drive even though I have a driver's license that my mother has forced me to have, for emergencies. I like cats more than dogs, because they are calmer and demand less attention.

I love the culture of Hispanic countries. It has been a great experience living in Colombia and I really want to get to know Mexico and Spain.

I am a descendant of Sephardic Jews and I am very proud of it. I am descended from Joana Góes de Vascocellos, a Jew who was burned at the stake of the inquisition in Lisbon in 1557. I have been in the process of acquiring Portuguese nationality through the Sephardic route since 2020.

My name on my documents is Rodrigo, but I like to use Rodrigo.

All this is me. I hope to meet and offer you the best Brazilian Portuguese classes with all my heart.

Sincerely,

Rodrigo

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.

Portuguese Language and Brazilian Culture: Learn with fun!
Do you want to speak Portuguese and get closer to the Brazilian culture in a fun and dynamic way? Well, I am a Brazilian who can show you our History, our art, customs and the great diversity of Brazilian Portuguese accents, as if you were on a virtual trip to Brazil. I have been teaching my language to people of different levels and objectives for more than two years, which gave me great experience in adapting my classes according to the needs of each student. Thus, in addition to traditional grammar, I use movies, songs, literature and other resources according to the profile of each student. In Brazil, I worked in schools and science museums, where I gained practice teaching children, youth, and adults. I also worked writing and reviewing articles for magazines, so I have great experience with the written Portuguese language. I offer online classes via webcam or face-to-face (in Granada, Spain) so that the student can choose the way that suits him best.
