Vivaldo Manuel

Hello! I'm Vivaldo, a native Portuguese speaker from Mozambique, passionate about helping students discover and master the Portuguese language in a fun, effective way. ???

My online lessons are fully customized to your level, goals, and interests, whether you're a beginner building basics for travel, an intermediate learner boosting fluency, or advanced student refining skills for work, exams (like CAPLE or Celpe-Bras), or cultural enjoyment.

What to expect in my lessons?!

Format: 100% online via Zoom, Google Meet, or your preferred tool, with interactive whiteboard, screen sharing, and multimedia resources.

I prioritize real conversation from day one to build confidence fast, combined with targeted grammar, vocabulary, listening/reading exercises, role-plays, and cultural insights. I use songs, videos, news, and topics you love (music, food, sports, travel) to keep it motivating.

Pronunciation & Accents Focus: One of my strengths! I teach both Brazilian and European Portuguese accents, plus elements of African variants (like Mozambican). We compare differences (sounds, intonation, slang), practice tricky phonetics ('r', 'lh', 'nh', nasals), and use audio examples/tongue twisters so you sound natural in your chosen variant, or even switch between them!
Approach: Patient, encouraging, relaxed, with positive feedback and progress tracking. Homework optional.

Lessons are typically 60 minutes (flexible: 45-90 min). I offer a discounted or free introductory session (20-30 min) to meet, discuss your needs, and plan the perfect path.
