Joana has been a brilliant teacher, good at balancing speed and content in an intensive course for people with different linguistic backgrounds and learning abilities. I particularly liked the effort to have us repeat and (re)write things by hand such as verbs and adjectives, also as part of excercises. I also appreciated that she could share additional material and exercises with those of us who had time and capacity to process more work during a session. It also helped a lot that Joana’s English is excellent and she also knows/understands other languages - this makes explanations so much better for the students.
So all in all a great experience. If I had more time to spend in Portugal I’d definitely take level A2 too. Who knows? Maybe I’ll be back at some point and sign up : )

Far exceeded my expectation for a language course. Both Joanna and Sofia are amazing and classes are not crowded, and pace is manageable, to match the class average. I’ve learned a lot in my first 2 weeks so far :)

I took A1 classes in the first week of June under Joana. She’s an amazing teacher and will really make sure you learn, especially if you’re aiming to speak & understand basic Portuguese. I highly recommend her classes! 10/10!

Lorii

It loved the course and Joana! My knowledge of portuguese has greatly improved. I will definitely look into taking another class at the Caravela school!
