We are a school dedicated exclusively to teaching Portuguese language and Brazilian culture to the foreign community.
We believe that knowing a language is not only a means of communication, but also a gateway to understanding the different cultures of the world. With our motto, "We connect cultures through Brazilian Portuguese", we seek to transcend language barriers and create an enriching and transformative learning experience.
What makes us unique is our passion for promoting a true connection between students and the culture of Brazil. In addition to teaching the language, we provide cultural immersion, bringing the charms of Brazil into a virtual classroom. Our native and experienced teachers share not only language issues, but also the traditions, cuisine, music and customs that make Brazil so special.
Here at Fluência, each student is valued and respected as a unique member of our international community. Whether you're a curious beginner or an advanced student looking to improve, we're ready to support you on your journey towards fluency in Brazilian Portuguese.
