Hyougo Prefecture Ms. M.O
I wanted to be able to converse in Portuguese with my Brazilian friends, so I decided to take individual online lessons.
Teacher Natália is bright, easy to talk to, and truly wonderful. She always finds materials that match my interests and guides me through improving my conversation skills, which I struggled with. The free talk on various topics besides the textbooks is always enjoyable. Since it's hard to jot down everything learned during the lesson, the "key points of the day" she sends afterward are very helpful for review. Natália is the first teacher who has provided such follow-up after lessons, and I am deeply impressed. Her encouraging comments in the feedback section greatly boost my motivation to study. Thanks to her fun and effective lessons, I’m gradually becoming able to hold conversations, which makes me very happy.

Natalia's lessons are very motivating! She praised me and stretched out, so I was cheered up every time in the class.
Also, when I had a professional consultation about work, I really appreciate that she consulted with a Brazilian acquaintance. Natalia is a very kind and wonderful person, so I'm sure you'll fall in love with Brazil even if you're in Japan!

I started taking lessons when my husband was stationed in Brazil.
I was not familiar with Portuguese, so I was worried if I would be able to learn it.
In the beginning, Natalia-sensei's lessons used texts written in Japanese, but gradually I learned things written only in Portuguese and conversation texts made by the teacher, so I naturally learned Portuguese. I feel like I would like to have more time to talk.
At the beginning of the lesson, the opening talk was just a series of words, but little by little, I was able to say short sentences. Especially, the hand-made textbook was very useful because it contains phrases that are frequently used in daily life and how Brazilians actually speak.
At the same time, there was an explanation of Brazilian culture and customs, so I understood the meaning of the words well.
Natalia-sensei gave us a lot of homework, so it was a bit difficult at times, but when we checked our answers, she brightly and loudly said "Perfeito".
Please experience Natalia Sensei's lessons that are praised and stretched.

I chose Skype lessons on Saturdays because I wasn't sure if I would always be able to attend lessons on weekdays due to my work schedule. Whether it's hot or cold, even if it rains, I can have lessons at home.
After each week's lesson, I always review the new words that I have learned, and the 'Today's Key Points' emailed to me by my teacher is very useful.
Free talk with the teacher is also one of the pleasures. When listening to a teacher's explanation of Brazil, or exchanging opinions about Japan with a teacher who has lived in Japan for a long time, the talk sometimes ends up getting longer.
I've never had any problems with Skype lessons, except once when Skype couldn't connect for some reason. Rather, I would recommend the Online lesson for those who find it difficult to go to class, or for those who are busy with work.

When I was stationed in Brazil, I asked for lessons for two months, focusing on daily conversation.
This is the reason why I decided to go here and the good points which I realized.
-
It is not only for business. Every lesson is tailored to each student's purpose.
-
Since it is a one-by-one lesson system, you can attend lessons at your own pace.
-
You will acquire conversation skills that are difficult to learn by yourself, and you will be taught local ways of speaking that are not found in textbooks.
-
Every time I receive an e-mail summarizing the lesson. This follow-up service is really great.
-
They kindly gave me real information about Brazil.
In addition to the lessons, it was very helpful that they taught me many things that I use in Brazil, as well as things that I should bring from Japan.
And above all, the teacher's personality is very nice and I look forward to going to the lesson.
A very nice classroom! !

I used to work in a Portuguese-speaking country and was looking for a teacher who would give me private lessons to maintain my language skills.
I used to take lessons in other classrooms, but just having conversations didn't lead to improving my vocabulary and reading comprehension...
Also, I was busy with work and didn't have time to find materials in the field I was interested in using in my lessons. .
They prepared teaching materials according to my learning objectives and fields of interest, and it was a meaningful time even though I was busy. I think it's really hard to prepare teaching materials for each student, but thank you for always finding interesting articles.
I also received detailed guidance on pronunciation, and my accent completely changed from Pol Pol to Bra Pol (laughs).
After hearing stories about life and customs in Brazil from the teacher, my interest broadened to the point that I would like to work in Brazil someday.
I highly recommend the custom-made private lesson to anyone who wants to learn Portuguese seriously.
