ABOUT OUR COURSES
With more than 15 years of experience teaching Portuguese to foreigners, we seek to provide our students with the necessary conditions to develop their proficiency through the cultivation of reading, listening, written and oral production skills. We use a communicative and interactive teaching approach. Our classes present fundamental aspects of Brazilian culture, covered through playful activities, such as national music and cinema. Another difference with the regular Portuguese for Foreigners courses at Instituto Ágora is that each of them has a workload of 60 hours/semester, offering the student a differentiated and quality experience in acquiring the language.
