Very good lesson, like the other 12 lessons as well. I also appreciate his very good English, that helps a lot, if I don't understand in Portuguese. The only negativ point: the quality of sound, but I think it's a problem of Skype. I'm sure that I could understand a lot more with a better sound quality.

João is a very pleasant, calm and understanding teacher. You immediately feel that he has a lot of experience in teaching. By the way he teaches you learn a lot and still you feel comfortable and relaxed.
I am Portuguese, born in Lisbon, where I have lived since I was born. I have also traveled extensively in Europe, which has given me a global view of the world we live in and facilitates a better understanding of different cultures.
I particularly like nature, literature and traveling.
The love of teaching is already deeply rooted in me, so it is not surprising that I am on this site.
Qualifications & Experience
I graduated from the University of Lisbon (licenciatura degree - corresponding to the current master's degree) in the Educational Branch.
From the moment I finished the course, I have been a teacher in several official Portuguese schools, counting to this moment more than 20 years of teaching service. However, 5 years ago I also started teaching Portuguese online using Skype. I have prepared several foreign students for the exams to obtain the official certificates of Portuguese- Foreign Language (CIÇPLE, DIPLE and DEPLE) corresponding to the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages of the Council of Europe.
Teaching Approach
The teaching method will, of course, be adapted to the interests and goals of each student. For those wishing to obtain European Certificate of Portuguese as a Foreign Language, I will follow the official frame of reference. In these cases, I usually send each student a manual, an exercise book, and grammar appropriate to their intended level of education.
Role play and other learning techniques are also very useful for easy and easy language learning.
To this day, Skype has been my favorite teaching application.
Eu sou português, nascido em Lisboa, cidade onde tenho vivido desde que nasci. Tenho também viajado bastante pela Europa, o que me tem dado uma visão global do mundo em que vivemos e me facilita um melhor entendimento de diferentes culturas.
Gosto, particularmente da Natureza, de literatura e de viajar.
Qualifications & Experience
Sou formado pela Universidade de Lisboa (licenciatura - correspondente ao atual mestrado) no Ramo Educacional.
Desde o momento em que terminei o curso, tenho sido professor em diversas escolas portuguesas oficiais, contando até este momento mais de 20 anos de serviço docente. Entretanto, desde há 5 anos comecei também a dar aulas on-line de língua prtuguesa usando o Skipe. Preparei vários alunos estrangeiros para os exames de obtenção dos certificados oficiais de português- Língua Estrangeira (CIÇPLE, DIPLE e DEPLE) corresponde aos niveis do Quadro Europeu Comum de Referência para as Línguas, do Conselho da Europa.
Teaching Approach
O método de ensino será, como é natural, adaptado aos interesses e objetivos de cada aluno. Para aqueles que pretendem obter certificado europeu de Português como Língua Estrangeira, seguirei o quadro de referência oficial. Nestes casos, habitualmente envio a cada aluno um manual, um livro de exercícios e uma gramática apropriada para o nível de ensino pretendido.
O recurso a role-play e outras técnicas de aprendizagem, são também bastante úteis para uma fácil e tranquila aprendizagem do idioma.
O skipe tem sido, até hoje, a minha aplicação preferida.
Je suis Portugais, né à Lisbonne, ville où je vis depuis ma naissance. J'ai également beaucoup voyagé en Europe, ce qui m'a permis d'avoir une vision globale du monde dans lequel nous vivons et de mieux comprendre les différentes cultures.
J'aime particulièrement la nature, la littérature et les voyages.
Qualifications & Experience
Je suis diplômé de l'Université de Lisbonne (licenciatura - correspondant a maîtrise actuel). .
À partir du moment où j'ai terminé le cours, j'ai enseigné dans plusieurs écoles portugaises officielles et compte à ce jour plus de 20 ans de service dans l'enseignement. Cependant, depuis 5 ans, j'ai également commencé à enseigner la langue portugaise en ligne, avec Skipe. J'ai préparé plusieurs étudiants étrangers aux examens en vue de l'obtention des certificats officiels de langue portugaise / étrangère (CIÇPLE, DIPLE et DEPLE) correspondant aux niveaux du Cadre européen commun de référence pour les langues du Conseil de l'Europe.
Teaching Approach
La méthode d’enseignement sera bien sûr adaptée aux intérêts et aux objectifs de chaque élève. Pour ceux qui souhaitent obtenir un certificat européen de portugais langue étrangère, je suivrai le cadre de référence officiel. Dans ces cas, j’envoie généralement à chaque élève un manuel, un cahier d’exercices et une grammaire adaptée au niveau d’éducation qu’ils souhaitent atteindre.
Les jeux de rôle et autres techniques d'apprentissage sont également très utiles pour un apprentissage facile et facile des langues.
