About Sonia

Since the eighties, when I graduated as a public accountant from the University of Buenos Aires, my journey towards mastering the Portuguese language has been an exciting and fulfilling adventure.

It all started with a trip to Brazil, where I was captivated by its vibrant culture and lush nature. This transformative encounter led me to immerse myself in the study of Portuguese at the Centro de Estudos Brasileiros, where I not only obtained academic recognition but also the prestigious honor of receiving the Gold Medal from the Consulate of Brazil in Buenos Aires.

My commitment to Portuguese has manifested in various ways over the years. As the author of the ACME Esp-Port/Port-Esp Dictionary, my work has been acclaimed for its accuracy and usefulness, supported by the prestigious Editora Nova Fronteira. This dictionary has become an indispensable reference for students, professionals, and lovers of the Portuguese language, solidifying my position as an authority in the field.

But my passion for Portuguese goes beyond the pages of a dictionary. In 2010, I took a step forward by launching my blog, where I share my knowledge, experiences, and reflections on the language and Brazilian culture. Since then, my dedication to the promotion and teaching of Portuguese has grown exponentially, reaching an audience of more than 290,000 followers on my digital platforms.

In addition, in 2019 I had the honor of publishing the book "Portuguese in the Blink of an Eye", an indispensable guide for travelers, students, and teachers of Portuguese who are looking for support in their classes. This book has been praised for its practical and accessible approach, becoming an inseparable companion for those who want to master Portuguese quickly and effectively.

Today, I am not only an expert in Portuguese translations, but also a passionate advocate and disseminator of its beauty and cultural richness.
