Who is this course for?

Articles are usually introduced early in most language programs — but often too quickly and without enough context. Whether you’re just starting out or filling in gaps, this course gives you the clear explanations you’ve been missing.

This course is for you if:

  • You’re a beginner and want a solid foundation in how to use articles in your conversations — with clear explanations in English and practice exercises in Portuguese that help you learn in context and build real vocabulary.

  • You already speak Portuguese, but still find yourself wondering why sometimes people say meu and other times o meu, or why someone might say Anna while another says a Anna. This course clears up those common questions most programs rush through or never fully explain.

Luciana Lage

Olá 👋 I’m Luciana.

I’ve been teaching Portuguese since 2008, including at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of San Francisco.

Over the years, I’ve noticed that even students who speak Portuguese well still have questions about articles.

That’s because this topic is usually covered quickly in the beginning of most programs—so it feels “familiar,” but not fully understood.

Many learners are left with gaps or lingering doubts that never quite get resolved.

That’s why I created this mini course: to give you straight answers, clear examples, and practical exercises that help you use these little words correctly and confidently.

I believe that when we understand how the language works, we feel more at ease using it—and that’s what I want for you.

I also believe that making mistakes is simply part of the journey when we speak a new language — and that’s perfectly okay.

But when we’re learning for the long run, not just for a quick trip, most of us do want to speak correctly.

We want to feel confident that we’re saying things the right way, especially when it helps us connect more deeply with others.

Whether you’re just starting or filling in some gaps, I hope this course brings clarity and confidence to your Portuguese. 💛

Clear, simple, practical. Just the way learning should be.
