In this continuation course of Brazilian Portuguese, learners will strengthen their foundation by reviewing greetings, everyday vocabulary, and essential present-tense verbs.

The course is designed to expose the participants to more structured simple daily conversations, giving and retrieving information to fill out forms, and also learn and practice the use of the simple past.

We will expand possessive pronouns and participants will also be introduced to demonstrative pronouns and prepositions of place. Through roleplays and everyday scenarios, participants will integrate these elements to gain more confidence in expressing routines, preferences, and descriptions — all while staying grounded in the present tense.
