What is the Celpe-Bras Exam?

Celpe-Bras is the only official proficiency certification in Portuguese as a foreign language. The certification is recognized internationally and is required to be admitted to Brazilian universities.

Celpe-Bras is not a multiple-choice test; instead, it requires you to demonstrate your Portuguese skills by writing four texts and demonstrating oral competency through discussion of ideas and opinions.

The exam tests for the following language levels: Intermediário, Intermediário Superior, Avançado, and Avançado Superior.

During each meeting with your Street Smart Brazil Portuguese teacher, you will practice and develop your speaking skills. We use materials from previous Celpe-Bras tests together with our exclusive handouts to keep your speaking practice focused on the Celpe-Bras exam.

Following each session, you will have a writing assignment for homework. These essay exercises are based on previous Celpe-Bras exams. They use texts, audios, and videos and ask you to write about the topic, just like you will have to do in the exam. Your teacher will check your writing and help you understand how to correct mistakes and improve your writing.

Our text correction methodology follows the most modern language learning principles and techniques. The way we correct your written assignments provides great learning and allows you to improve your Portuguese.

Are your instructors native speakers of Brazilian Portuguese?
Yes, absolutely! All of Street Smart Brazil’s language instructors are native speakers of Brazilian Portuguese, born and raised in Brazil. Additionally, our instructors are fluent in English and college educated. They have professional experience in Brazil and abroad, and are trained with the Street Smart Brazil approach to deliver an excellent learning experience. They are also very friendly and passionate about sharing our language and culture. Meet our instructors here. 
I don’t like to study or read online. Can I really learn Portuguese via webcam? How does it work?
Our webcam lessons are as effective as lessons in person. You meet with your instructor real-time, face to face, in a video-conference. You will be totally engaged with your instructor. We use Skype or Google Hangouts with video. Both are free. You can see and hear your instructor just as if she were sitting across from you. You will receive your class materials ahead of time via email. You can print them or have them on your screen during your lesson. And we use the chat screen as our white board. We invite you to book a trial session to see for yourself how well it works.
I am very busy. How often do I need to have classes?

You can take classes whenever you have time to fit them in your schedule. When you choose one-on-one lessons, you can set your pace. With that said, consistency and practice are key to learning and developing fluency. We recommend starting with at least 1 hour per week. Practicing regularly between meetings will speed up the learning process.

If you are getting ready to take the Celpe-Bras exam, how often you take classes will depend on how soon your test is and how advanced your Portuguese is.

Do I have to pay a registration fee?
No, there is no registration fee and no charge for class materials. You just pay for your lessons.
Do I need to purchase class material and books?

The quality and variety of class materials that we use cannot be found in any other Portuguese language course. We use our exclusive original content workbook in combination with materials from textbooks, the web, and other resources. There is no additional charge for the materials. We believe that you will learn better by using a variety of learning tools.

With that said, if you are interested in buying a book, we have a review of the best books to learn Portuguese on our site.[LINK] (link to https://streetsmartbrazil.com/blog/20091220/books-study-portuguese ) You will also find a list of additional materials including books, movies, and CDs at our Online Amazon Store[LINK].

Will I have material to study between sessions?
Yes, you will always have study materials and homework. The more you practice between sessions, the faster your Portuguese will advance. With that said, we understand that many of our clients are very busy. How much homework you will do between sessions is a personal decision. We are here to help. If you cannot do any homework, your instructor will work with you through the exercises during your sessions. That is perfectly fine too.
How do I schedule my lessons and what availability do you offer?

You can easily book your lessons online.

We offer classes virtually any day, any time because we have instructors in different time zones.

To give you even more flexibility, you can book your lessons with any of our instructors. We all share class reports to ensure that there is continuity between lessons even if you are booking them with different teachers.

Upon purchase of any of our classes, you will get a link to our online scheduling tool.
