‘I want my students to know that they can have fun reaching their goals. Learning a language is a process. It takes some time before you’re completely familiar with it, so you should make the journey as interesting as possible. Because Portuguese pronunciation is so different to, for example, Spanish, that gets a lot of attention in the first few days. That means we talk a lot in the lessons.’
