What My Students Say
I initially began learning Portuguese through one of the online language apps prior to learning with Ricardo.
Although I had learned some basic vocabulary and greetings, I felt that I wasn’t really learning to speak or understand what I heard. With Ricardo my experience was immensely enjoyable and I could feel myself improving all the time.
The course fulfilled its promise of learning Portuguese quickly given my time constraints with work and availability. I couldn’t have expected to learn any faster unless I were living in Brazil.
Daniel LynchUSA
The course is very interactive and multi-faceted: grammar, vocab, oral comprehension, “real life” vs. formal Portuguese, pronunciation tips, and audios. Ricardo explains really well the small nuances in pronunciation, now I feel comfortable with reading and when listening, I can decipher how a word might be spelled. Ricardo obviously has a lot of experience and passion for teaching, and I’m really impressed with the course and with the fact that he seems to constantly be updating and creating material. Thanks Ricardo!
Joanne KimCanada
I’ve been trying to learn Portuguese for the past 3 years through different courses without much success. I recently came across the Portuguese in Record Time Course and I’m finally making excellent progress with Ricardo’s focused topics and learning techniques.
The listening activities have been extremely useful to gain the confidence to communicate with native speakers.
Ricardo is a dedicated teacher who spends time providing valuable feedback and pronunciation tips. I highly recommend the course!
Catlyn Lightfoot South Africa
I was studying Portuguese for several years on and off but without practice and much dedication. So I knew grammar but didn’t have any practice and couldn’t use the grammar and couldn’t talk properly. Then, I found Ricardo. All his classes are perfectly structured and organized.
The lessons are divided into topics and each topic completely covers the necessary vocabulary, plus explains new grammar.
I love the lessons and structured explanations of the language, which helped me to learn easily and with fun!
Anya MikhaylovaRussia
I will be honest and say that my feelings were hurt because I thought I was much better than a beginner! However, once I started his course I could see why he recommended that I start from the beginning. There are so, so many helpful tips and nuggets of great information.
I would say my favorite thing is how he brings English words into the course so it’s easy for you to remember how to pronounce words when comparing English to Portuguese.
Many thanks for everything Ricardo, for giving me the confidence I now have!
Andy CemenoCanada
I tried to learn Portuguese from two online language apps for a week or two but I got frustrated when I couldn’t get the pronunciation right and there was no one to ask.
I found Ricardo who had extensive experience in languages and online learning. He answered all my questions in a clear and constructive way. As a teacher, he is patient and always ready to give that little extra.
Kenneth Ingelsson Sweden
Before starting my journey in learning Portuguese, I was completely clueless on where to even begin. This was my first foreign language so I figured that I needed a tutor to guide me in the right direction. Since working with Ricardo I’ve learned so much about grammar and the ways in which the everyday Brazilian speaks in Portuguese.
I enjoy how structured the curriculum is which helps me take the guesswork out of deciding what to study for in the next lesson. Ricardo is an amazing teacher that is knowledgeable, and passionate during his lessons.
I still have a long way to go, but I’m enjoying the process.
