Student opinions about aprenda2, Sao Paulo
aprenda2, Sao Paulo
The extracurricular activities that took place during the school break were also great.”
2. Systematic Teaching Model: The course follows a well-structured teaching model, ensuring that each lesson builds logically on the previous one. This systematic approach was instrumental in my understanding and retention of the language.
3. Adaptive Teachers: The instructors are adept at tailoring their teaching to accommodate students at different proficiency levels. This adaptability was especially beneficial in addressing individual learning needs and ensuring that all students could follow along.”
As a language student, my primary goal was to learn Portuguese in a neutral setting. The introduction of strong political opinions in the classroom, in my opinion, detracted from this objective. While I understand and respect the importance of diverse viewpoints, I believe that a language course should prioritize linguistic and cultural education over political indoctrination.”
All the teachers were not only wise but also friendly and caring. I will recommend aprenda2 to my friends.”
