How to choose Portuguese classes?

Find a teacher who will take you from “I can’t” to “I can.”

In the beginning, it will be very important to find a teacher who responds to your needs and who meets your expectations .

For example, if your goal is to perfect your Portuguese or Brazilian Portuguese, your learning needs will be different than those of a person looking to travel to a Portuguese-speaking country and spend a few weeks there:

• In the first case, you will need to have a good level of Portuguese;
• in the second, it will be enough to know some typical expressions so as not to get completely lost in an oral conversation.

We advise you that your teacher has a good methodology if you are looking to acquire a good level of Portuguese. A beginner will be able to cope with some notions of verb conjugation and Portuguese grammar, so that a native Portuguese student will be able to perform the task of teacher perfectly.

However, the most important thing when choosing Portuguese classes and the teacher is to evaluate their method and their personality . Most private tutors offer the first lesson free of charge. On that occasion, you will be able to evaluate if it is a good choice and if the teacher’s personality is compatible with yours, since it will be difficult to improve, study and progress effectively if  we do not trust the teacher or their pedagogical method. How to choose Portuguese classes?
