🇧🇷 Learn Brazilian Portuguese — through conversation 🇯🇵🇧🇷🇬🇧 Life in Japan, Brazil, and the United Kingdom 🇹🇼🇨🇳🇰🇷 Every year I tour various countries in Asia 🎶 Let’s talk about culture, music, and everyday life — in Portuguese! Hello! I’m Asuka, a Brazilian Portuguese teacher. My classes are not just memorizing textbook content. ☕ Natural conversation — like chatting over coffee with a friend 🌏 Culture, daily life, and values of Brazil 🎶 Music, capoeira, and that authentic “Brazilian vibe” With these topics, we build a Portuguese that flows naturally without getting stuck. I’d also love for you to tell me about your country and culture — in Portuguese. It’s almost a language exchange: we learn by talking about both worlds. 🌍 About me 🇯🇵 Born in Japan · native Japanese 🇧🇷 10 years living in Brazil (daily life is in Brazilian Portuguese) 🇬🇧 23 years in the United Kingdom I can explain pronunciation, grammar, and expressions that often trip up learners — in Japanese or English, depending on what you need. In Brazil, I also teach capoeira, so I bring rhythm and body culture into the lessons when appropriate. 🎶 Who is this class for? 🇧🇷 Want to improve conversation skills before traveling, moving, or working in Brazil 🇧🇷 Want to learn Brazilian Portuguese — not European Portuguese 🇧🇷 Want to speak more and “study less” in the traditional sense 🇧🇷 Want to relax and chat without pressure 🇧🇷 Curious about Brazilian culture, music, and daily life Sample topics: 🗣 Daily conversation / travel / culture / music / capoeira / food / life abroad (The focus is on what you enjoy.) ✨ What makes my class different ✏️ Conversation-centered lessons, tailored to your level and pace ✏️ I don’t interrupt the flow for every mistake — natural feedback at the right moment ✏️ Portuguese as a language you use, not just for exams or memorization ✏️ Explanations in Japanese or English — beginners are welcome 📜 Certifications: Celpe-Bras (Brazilian government certification in Portuguese) · **TOEFL ITP** ※ Exam preparation and intensive pronunciation training, if you wish. 📩 How about a trial lesson for a light chat?

Having lived long periods in Japan, Brazil, and the United Kingdom, I saw where students get stuck — and how Brazilians actually converse, joke, and connect. I use culture and everyday topics to help you build language that **you actually use in conversations**. My goal: *“It doesn’t feel like I’m studying — but I realize I’m speaking better than before.”* 🐶 Trial class (25 minutes) We start by relaxing and chatting. 【What we do】 🔹 Quick check of your Portuguese level 🔹 Your goals and interests (travel / work / hobbies, etc.) 🔹 Mini-lesson through conversation 🔹 Study path suggestions for you Don’t know where to start?
