  Course Designer,

  Since 1995, I have worked in Brazil, running my own language business and I also write my own material for beginners, pre-intermediate and intermediate. The focus is on vocabulary and conversation from day one. For upper-intermediate to advanced, the material should be relevant to the client's specific professional needs, such as leadership, nursing, psychology, art etc. Advice for clients and non-clients.To dominate a language, it is necessary to use it in discussions, debates and storytelling. Dedicating hours and hours to grammar will NOT bring fluency at all. You can read hundreds of books about how to play tennis or swim, but if you don't practice, you will never hit a ball in a game, and as soon as you jump into a pool, you will drown! Theory rarely works, only practice and real-world scenarios do. Show less
