This course has been elaborated
to teach portuguese to foreign executives and their
families recently arrived in the country.
The tailor-made private
classes are designed to develop communication skills
needed for everyday real life situations, and other
immediate interest in the professional and social areas. It
begins with basic survival language, and introduces
aspects of the culture and habits of the brazilian
people, their history, the city and other important
issues.
In this manner the impact
of the cultural shock (the phenomenon caused shortly
after moving to a country with a different language
and culture) is greatly reduced in a short period of
time.
The course progresses
on to the intermediate level where business language
and other specific interests are worked with and studied
using narrative text and jornalistic articles, besides
the course book. At this
level the student feels confident and comfortable with
the use of the language in most situations.
The program of the course
will be organized according to the urgency and schedule
of the student.
