Olá! Bem-vindos a Modern Portuguese.

That’s me, Rafael. I’m a University Portuguese tutor and specialist in the UK. If you’re looking to learn Portuguese online, I’m certainly glad that you’ve arrived at my website. I hope you’ll find what you need.

I’ve created this website for those who want to get started with Portuguese learning or to take their language to another level. I offer online Portuguese lessons and share expert advice and knowledge in the Modern Portuguese Newsletter and Instagram.

a word from my students

"[...] Ho seguito lezioni interattive e coinvolgenti, che mi hanno consentito di acquisire una buona padronanza della lingua ed un buon livello di sicurezza, nonostante fosse il mio primo corso di portoghese. Assolutamente consigliato!"
Chiara
ChiaraPhilip Morris International, Lausanne - Switzerland
"[...] Rafael’s classes were incredibly helpful in supporting my learning. I studied in my own time before taking up lessons but what I found especially useful and unique about learning with Rafael was that I could let go of my insecurities and practise with him. I was given material at a comfortable yet challenging rate as well as Brazilian music - a great way to practise listening!"

"[...] Rafael a été le parfait tremplin pour apprendre les bases de la langue en étant toujours très pédagogue et disponible. Après six mois de cours, en arrivant au Brésil, j’étais moins perdu et j’ai pu m’adapter beaucoup plus rapidement. Le portugais est une langue merveilleuse qui permet avant tout de comprendre une autre culture et de rencontrer de nouvelles personnes."
Valentin

"[...] Mi experiencia con estudiar portugués fue simplemente maravillosa. Viajo varias veces a Portugal. Gracias a poder hablar portugués, estoy trabajando sin problemas cuando estoy allí. Recomiendo estudiar portugués para todos los estudiantes, pero para los latinos será más fácil y podrías hablar un nuevo idioma en unos pocos meses."

It’s incredibly hard for Portuguese learners to find good, reliable graded readers.

 

Well, not anymore! In 2020 I had the pleasure to work as the editor and narrator of Short Stories in Brazilian Portuguese – it’s a rich and fun resource and I hope you’ll enjoy it too!
