Speak

European Portuguese

with ease!

Where language meets mindset,
and fluency becomes effortless.

No language is justly studied merely as an aid to other purposes. It will, in fact, better serve other purposes when it is studied for love, for itself.”

~ J. R. Tolkien

“When I started with Cat, I was B1 level. Last year I was at a point where I doubted whether I would ever speak this beautiful language, but since I started having lessons with her, I've felt a significant improvement, both in my knowledge and in my confidence. Catarina is a very friendly teacher and always adapts to my wishes to do grammar or read texts, making lessons dynamic and fun. There are no questions she can't answer. She's more than an educator, she's a mentor who is always willing to help and understand my difficulties. I highly recommend her.” -Michael, Germany
