About Me

Lisbon-based teacher of European Portuguese. I help students navigate the differences between PT and BR Portuguese and master the unique pronunciation of European Portuguese. Great for people moving to Portugal.

About My Lessons

Focused on European Portuguese pronunciation and vocabulary. Each lesson includes pronunciation drills, grammar, and conversation. I highlight PT vs. BR differences when relevant. For relocation students, we cover practical scenarios: banks, housing, healthcare.
