[10/22/19]   Teaching Portuguese
More than knowing about grammar, including pronouns, articles and conjugations of verbs, teaching is an act of putting yourself in the place of others and being aware of the vulnerabilities, fears, doubts, difficulties, interests and motivation that each person has.

It is about being receptive to all this and finding a way to overcome the difficulties that each one faces when learning a new language.

Often, I also have doubts when teaching, and that makes me want to learn more about how to teach better and better.

In addition to the language lessons, I'm happy to share what I know about the history, culture and Portuguese traditions.

I also do Portuguese Language Residencies, between 2 to 5 days, in any region or country and I am open to invitations to do Portuguese Language Residencies in beautiful informal and cozy places.

For more informations you can email me to: [email protected]

[10/22/19]   My Story

How I started to change my life

In 2010 I become interested in learning more about permaculture, and soon after I said goodbye to my job and decided to leave for a new adventure.

I moved to the mountains in central Portugal, where homeschooling was the common project in the local, open, multi-cultural community. Each family had its land and we were all building our homes at the same time.

When the need to work meets the need of a community

I had gained fluency in English by 2012, and thus decided to start teaching Portuguese to the foreign community where I lived, in Gois. The need arised from communication difficulties that we all experienced during meetings, and the need of speaking one common language. I also felt the difficulties that the foreigners had in communicating with locals, whilst shopping, buying property, or just in obtaining informations…

The gap between the foreign and the local community can be quite big and frightening for both sides.

Meeting my need to work and the community's need to learn Portuguese, combined with my pleasure to teach, went all in favour of the start of this project. It was an opportunity not to be missed.

When I returned to Cascais, my hometown, I continued to support my old students' language learning process and also their integration, finding that lessons on Skype were the best way to do this. I really enjoyed the experience and I am motivated to continue.

Currently I also give Portuguese lessons to foreigners who want to come to live in Portugal and choose to learn the language before adventuring into the country. It is my opinion that this is a good way to go, as it is sometimes difficult to live and make things move forward here, and not being able to speak the native language can aggravate the situation.

Communication in Portuguese

Communication in Portuguese

The Portuguese language is difficult and as with any other language, learning it requires perseverance, dedication and willingness to communicate.

Communication is an act of free will and the way one approaches another influences how each will respond and react. At first it may seem like an impossible task but with time you will feel more confident.

The greatest difficulty is to get to a place, to try to start a conversation but not one word gets out of our mouth. Even when knowing what the words mean in Portuguese.
We feel stupid, dumb and it's frustrating because we feel apart. But because the effort that one does by communicating is recognized when it is genuine, do not hesitate to ask for help, to ask to speak more slow, to repeat or to translate if you have difficulties in communication in Portuguese.

Investing time in building relationships with locals may seem like an overwhelming task, but it is an effective way for successful integration, that only can be reached with time. The doubts, the fear of making mistakes, or being judged about not knowing something that we think we should know, is sometimes embarrassing. But it is important not to give up and to value what has already been achieved.

I also advise you to listen to the radio, read newspapers or magazines, put papers in your walls with useful words and phrases about daily life, to immerse yourself in the language.

Learning a language before moving to the country helps a lot, and we all have had to learn a language, whether it is foreign, or your own.

Teaching Portuguese - My own personal experience

Teaching Portuguese - My own personal experience

The vulnerability that comes in hands when moving to a new reality is itself an act of courage.

There are inner and outer transitions, and a whole world between them. And neither are easy.

Moving from one place to another involves taking some luggage with us, being physical or emotional. We can choose to take a lot of luggage, or to go light, but the desire to have nothing, anything, or a lot sometimes leads to difficult choices.

So, before making choices, it is essential to be totally aware of the reasons why we think any other place is better than the place where we are at right now.
The dream of a new life can be a distant utopia when confronted with everyday life, and facing reality can surprise us in a positive or negative way. Learning to accept all this may be a good way to overcome change.

Portugal presents some difficulties, be them cultural, social, linguistic, or other, so be prepared.
