The Portuguese your MBA didn't teach you.
The Portuguese your MBA didn't teach you.
For professionals and executives who need Brazilian Portuguese that actually works in business — meetings, negotiations, emails, presentations. Classes combine functional language, specialized vocabulary, and the cultural context of doing business in Brazil.
This isn't an off-the-shelf business Portuguese course. Each program is built around your industry, your role, and the situations you actually face at work.
Dra. Carla Regiane Dias has prepared executives, lawyers, consultants, and physicians for professional work in Brazil — from relocation to São Paulo, leading Brazilian teams, to working with subsidiaries in Belo Horizonte. Her PhD in Portuguese Philology from USP isn't just an academic credential — it means she can explain why Portuguese works the way it does in business contexts, not just what to say. Executives don't have time for vague rules. Carla teaches the patterns and the reasoning together.
Most students achieve functional professional Portuguese within 3–4 months of consistent weekly study.
Business Portuguese classes start from A2 (elementary) and up. If you are a complete beginner, we recommend starting with Adult Classes to build a functional foundation, then transitioning to the Business program once you reach A2.
In the intake session, Dra. Carla maps your industry, role, and the real communication situations you face — meetings, contracts, negotiations, client calls. Materials and vocabulary are then built around your specific context, not a generic business syllabus.
Most students achieve functional professional Portuguese within 3–4 months of consistent weekly study, meaning they can hold meetings, write emails, and handle calls with Brazilian counterparts. Full professional fluency — including cultural nuance and complex negotiations — typically takes 6–12 months.
It depends on your goals and timeline. Many professionals preparing for work in Brazil benefit from both tracks. Dra. Carla will recommend the right sequencing after your free first class.
