Last Friday was my first job interview conducted in Portuguese. I was scared to death walking in the place, thinking I was going to have to speak in English for a lot of the time. That is not what happened, I was able to talk to the HR girl for over 1 hour, strictly in Portuguese- we never spoke in English once! I was pretty impressed with the feat, have got to give props to my teacher Luciana. It is pretty funny, I am in the largest Portuguese speaking country in the world and I have decided to continue my schooling with Luciana (in San Francisco) over Skype. |

“We had an absolutely incredible trip! Words in an email can't describe how amazing our time in Brazil was. ... we found that knowing a little Portuguese was very helpful and it was really nice knowing a few things on the menu! In fact, if someone gave us an English menu, I often wanted the Portuguese one so we knew what we were looking at! All of your suggestions were great! We experienced all traditional Brazilian dinners the second week while we were at the resort, so that was really fun. I'm dying to make Moqueca and hopefully somehow make pão de queijo!” |

"I have been a student of Luciana's for over a year. When I started this long journey of learning Brasilian Portuguese, I couldn't even say "Obrigado" or "Como é seu nome?", but now my communication skills have improved tremendously. Luciana makes learning a difficult language (portuguese) seem easy. She has great explanations for sentence structures, complex grammar rules, verb conjugating, and almost anything a person could potentially have problems with while learning a foreign language. I strongly & highly recommend Luciana to anyone who is planning a trip to Brasil or who simply wants to learn another language." |

"The web class is a unique setup. When I first heard about it I thought it would be too weird to try to do something so personal and interactive as a foreign language online. Now I am sort of devotee. But the big plus is not really the technology as much as it is Luciana herself. She is a very dedicated language teacher. She has the unique gift of a teacher who is able to quickly focus on the needs of her student, and to personalize each class for that need. She has a great sense of humor, which I think you probably need in such an enterprise, and now I look forward to each class. It's like hanging with a good friend and having fun learning something new each time." |

“I met Luciana because I was planning a move to Brazil and felt as though my Portuguese skills had reached a plateau. Luciana provided an unmatched level of language expertise, professionalism, patience, and teaching ability which quickly helped to accelerate my skills to a higher level. I worked with her until my move, practicing daily conversation as well as business scenarios. When I arrived to Brazil, the people I met thought I had already been living in Brazil for several years due the comfort and ease of my speaking ability. Luciana played an instrumental role in my success and will be forever thankful to her.” |
