Olá 👋 I’m Luciana.
I’ve been teaching Portuguese since 2008, including at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of San Francisco.
I know how frustrating it is to understand the words but feel like something is still missing when you try to speak. You want to express yourself at the level you truly intend, but instead, you feel limited—never quite sure if your message is coming across the way you want.
That’s why I created this challenge — to help you expand your vocabulary for both daily life and work, while also learning idiomatic expressions we Brazilians use all the time.
If you want to feel more at home in Brazilian Portuguese — to express yourself naturally, understand everyday conversations with more ease, and engage more fully in the language and culture —I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
Connect with confidence in Brazilian Portuguese: daily expressions, vocabulary for work & life, and guided practice to make it stick. Transform your Portuguese in 30 days even if you don’t have hours to study every day.
This is a guided, 30-day challenge, with one new lesson unlocking each day.

I used my teaching expertise to create a three-part framework that takes Portuguese speakers from vaguely recognizing commonly used expressions to confidently dropping them into everyday conversations.
Each lesson takes you through these three components:
Here, you get to know the nitty-gritty of each idiom. I'll explain its meaning, origin, and the situations where it's commonly used. I also offer English equivalents.
We dive into real-world context. Through relatable life scenarios and authentic examples from Brazilian media and songs, you’ll see the idioms in action in real life.
Time to roll up your sleeves. You'll put the idioms to use through practical activities and quizzes. Not only will you be applying the idioms, but you’ll also be flexing your Portuguese language muscles across different verb tenses.
I’m really proud of this high-quality course, and it’s important to me that you feel confident and excited about joining this program.
