This course is more than learning idiomatic expressions. You will learn expressions that I chose very intentionally because they will make your Portuguese more precise, fun, and authentic. But the course is about more than that. It’s about being in contact with Portuguese and learning something new every day for 30 days. You’ll watch videos in Portuguese, listen to detailed explanations, and learn idiomatic expressions with examples and quizzes. This structured approach helps you internalize the expressions, ensuring you can use them fluently and appropriately in conversations. The quizzes reinforce and deepen your learning in a way that a list of expressions cannot match.

This course is designed for intermediate speakers. Each of the 30 lessons features a video in Portuguese with Portuguese subtitles, along with text lessons, quizzes, and community interactions all conducted in Portuguese. If you can engage in everyday conversations in Portuguese (B1 to B2 level), you will benefit greatly from this course. If not, it might be better suited for you later in your journey.

This course is primarily tailored for intermediate learners. The video lessons, subtitles, written materials, and community interactions are all conducted in Portuguese. Beginners might find the course challenging. To benefit fully, it’s best to have a proficiency level that allows you to understand the content and participate in discussions.

Let’s face it, no one wants to watch 100 hours of video lessons. That’s why this course offers brigadeiro-sized lessons—sweet, short, and satisfying. Each video is between 5 and 10 minutes, giving you the essence of learning without the fluff. The time you take to complete each quiz will vary based on your Portuguese skills; it could take around 10 minutes, or you might spend more time exploring the vocabulary and grammar. The best part? The course is self-paced, so you can learn whenever it suits you. No rush, no fuss - just effective learning on your terms.

Absolutely! The course includes access to a dedicated community space on the course platform (not on Facebook), where you can ask questions about the course content or Portuguese in general. I personally respond to all questions, ensuring you get the support you need.

No course can promise guaranteed results because factors like personal effort and your starting proficiency level play significant roles. However, this course is designed using proven language acquisition techniques and my extensive teaching experience to provide you with the best tools for success. Your progress will depend on how actively you engage with the materials, but rest assured, the course is structured to facilitate and support your improvement in Portuguese.

I’m proud of my course, and it’s important to me that you feel confident and excited about joining this program. As an avid course-taker myself, I understand that not all programs are created equally, and I’ve experienced disappointment with some purchases. So, I completely understand if you’re feeling skeptical or concerned. That’s why I offer a full 7 days to experience the program. If you aren’t satisfied, email me within 7 days of accessing the first lesson, and I’ll refund your purchase.
