Portuguese Grammar for PLE teachers - Jane Duarte - 2021The course objective was to outline the main principles of Portuguese grammar and to learn how to apply them to teaching Portuguese as a second language.
O objetivo deste curso é abordar pontos principais da gramática, discutindo suas aplicabilidades ao PLE. Não abordarei todos os pontos, pois seria um curso de formação e esse não é o foco aqui. Quero que você dê os primeiros passos na área de pesquisa de forma segura e tranquila.

Teacher’s pick
I have been learning English with Richard since summer and I feel a huge progress.
First, I forgot about my language barrier. I used to get nervous when I was speaking in English. But now I am comfortable to speak in English and completly forgot about this feeling.
Second, this is my grammar skills. My favorite thing is that we often discuss how British and American people use this rule in common life. The big news was that native speakers do mistakes :)
3rd, I increased my vocabulary and I often use new learned phrases and words in a conversation.
In the end I would like to add that Richard is friendly, supportive and at the same time always controls your learning process doesn't give you to decrease your requirements.
Thank you.

Richard, thank you 🙏🏻 You gave me very useful strategies for speaking. It is that thing that I’ve always been thinking about but couldn’t formulate and organize it. I’m really glad that I chose you as a teacher.
