Back to original languageAbout Gonçalo
Certified trainer, native of Portugal– where I lived until I was 28, in Cascais, Lisbon, and Porto – and **based in France since 2015**, my life is divided between Paris and Lisbon, and my daily routine is marked by constant linguistic exchanges.
I offer Portuguese courses based on the CEFR framework, as well as tailor-made training, adapting programs and teaching materials to your needs: professional projects, relocation, cultural or academic stays, conversation classes, etc.
I pay particular attention to cultural immersion, which is essential for a deep understanding of the language. In my training sessions, I explore various themes: society, history, culture, daily life, and the professional context in Portugal.
Aware of global issues, migratory phenomena, and the diversity of the Portuguese-speaking world, I integrate the discovery of different Portuguese dialects (Portugal, Brazil, etc.) into my courses, in order to prepare learners for the diverse contexts and challenges of the Lusophone world, and thus broaden their scope of communication and intervention.
Specializing in phonetics and possessing a great attention to detail, I also focus on pronunciation, prioritizing learners' clarity and autonomy in their oral communication and interactions.
My linguistic training draws from my family – multilingual, multicultural, and international – and has been enriched through intercultural mobility projects in Europe, focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion. These experiences connect with my Fine Arts studies and my 15-year career in graphic design and audiovisual.
Multilingual, I can conduct my courses in French, English, Spanish, or Italian.
I am ready to accompany you on this beautiful adventure.
So I say to you "até já!" (see you soon!).
