“I have been trying to learn Portuguese for years, but with most online courses I found myself unmotivated and just gave up. I have felt supported, I have worked on simple things, little by little, through many videos, audios and excellent multimedia material. I managed to pass the exam with no problems. I am going for the second level next year and I can't wait to start!” 

Paula Torres
A student from Spain

“I was offered a very interesting job in Porto Alegre, I had to have proof of my Portuguese language level... fortunately, with this method I prepared myself quickly, I was able to accept the offer. I'm currently taking the B2 course and I'm hooked! The challenge, the motivation, the originality and novelty of the course make it really easy to learn a language.”
