This is a fast-paced course designed for people who learned the Basic structure of Portuguese and present, past and future of verbs tenses and are ready for subjunctive and more complex writing, who are fluent or native Spanish speakers and started to learn Portuguese formally, or people who grew up/spent time around Portuguese but need to perfect their grammar.

Português Intermediário 1 is an intermediate class with a focus on deepening listening, speaking and developing communication skills in Portuguese in a conversational style, without translating into one’s native language, to allow you to deepen the understanding of advanced verbs tenses, to have more vocabulary, composed verbal structures, and more elaborate conversations with Portuguese native speakers.

In this class, we will build your vocabulary in American Sign Language (get ready to be able to sign entire conversations!) and explore Deaf American culture and history.
