My learning goals

I would like to have a high level of written and spoken Portuguese. Originally being from the former Portuguese colony of Goa and also holding Portuguese nationality, it would be very desirable to improve my grasp on the language.

My favorite topics

I enjoy talking about food, travelling, music and general conversation. If someone is willing to have any in depth conversation, I am very happy to participate. I am also happy to help you advance your English to a high level!

Speaking is the fastest way to fluency

Practice listening, improve your pronunciation, and learn to speak a foreign language with native speakers – no matter where you are.
