Ricardo Filgueira

Ricardo class is very good. He knows all the details about portugues grammar, vocabulary and expressions, and is very good at transmiting that knowledge.

I started lessons with Ricardo two months ago as a complete beginner and it has been great. His lessons are very interactive and multi-faceted (grammar, vocab, oral comprehension, “real life” vs. formal Portuguese, pronunciation tips, PDF material/lessons and audio recordings via e-mail) and there are a lot of opportunities to practice during the lesson. He also explains really well the small nuances in pronunciation– for me, this was one of the most intimidating parts of learning Portuguese, but now I feel comfortable with reading (slowly) and when listening, I can decipher how a word might be spelled, which helps a lot with comprehension. Ricardo obviously has a lot of experience and passion for teaching, and I’m really impressed with the course and with the fact that he seems to constantly be updating and creating material. Thanks Ricardo!

Great coach and very energetic

After spending the last 2 years across the platform learning Spanish and recently starting Portuguese, having tried out around 50 tutors. I can honestly say Ricardos methods are great and I would recommend him to anyone starting out learning Portuguese. Excited to continue my journey with him.

Tive outra aula muito boa e interessante com Ricardo, conversando sobre as superstições das nossas respectivas culturas. Tendo apreciado a maioria do material disponível, estou muito empolgado para conhecer o novo material no seu site 'Português Fluente'.
