🇧🇷 Learn Brazilian Portuguese through real conversation 🇯🇵🇧🇷🇬🇧 Life across Japan, Brazil, and the UK 🇹🇼🇨🇳🇰🇷 I travel through several Asian countries every year on tour 🎶 Let’s talk about culture, music, and everyday life—in Portuguese! Hello! I’m Asuka, your Brazilian Portuguese teacher. My lessons are not about memorising textbooks alone. ☕ Natural conversation—like chatting with a friend at a café 🌏 Brazilian culture, daily life, and values 🎶 Music, capoeira, and the real “Brazilian vibe” Through topics like these, we build Portuguese that flows without overthinking. I’d also love to hear about your country and culture—in Portuguese. It’s a bit like language exchange: we learn while sharing each other’s worlds. 🌍 About me 🇯🇵 From Japan · native Japanese speaker 🇧🇷 10 years living in Brazil (daily life in Brazilian Portuguese) 🇬🇧 23 years in the UK I can explain pronunciation, grammar, and expressions that learners often struggle with—in clear Japanese or English, depending on what you need. In Brazil I also teach capoeira, so I bring authentic rhythm and body culture into lessons when it helps. 🎶 Who these lessons are for 🇧🇷 You want conversation skills before travel, relocation, or work in Brazil 🇧🇷 You want Brazilian Portuguese—not European Portuguese 🇧🇷 You want more speaking time, not more “study mode” 🇧🇷 You want to relax and talk without pressure 🇧🇷 You’re curious about Brazilian culture, music, and everyday life Example topics: 🗣 Daily chat / travel / culture / music / capoeira / food / life abroad (We’ll focus on what interests you.) ✨ What makes my lessons different ✏️ Conversation-first, tailored to your level and pace ✏️ I don’t interrupt every mistake—I give natural, timely feedback ✏️ Portuguese as a language you use, not only a test subject ✏️ Explanations in Japanese or English—beginners welcome 📜 Qualifications: Celpe-Bras (Brazilian government certification in Portuguese) · TOEFL ITP ※ Exam prep and focused pronunciation practice available on request. 📩 Why not try a trial lesson and chat casually first?

Living long stretches in Japan, Brazil, and the UK, I’ve seen where learners get stuck—and how Brazilians really talk, joke, and connect. I use culture and everyday topics so you build language you’ll **actually use in conversation**. My aim: *“I don’t feel like I’m studying—but I notice I’m speaking better than before.”* 🐶 Trial lesson (25 minutes) We start by relaxing and talking. 【What we cover】 🔹 Quick check of your current Portuguese level 🔹 Your goals and interests (travel / work / hobbies, etc.) 🔹 A mini lesson through conversation 🔹 A suggested direction for your learning path Not sure where to begin? You’re welcome—we can use **Japanese or English** in the trial if that helps. ❗️ Lesson rules (please read) To keep lessons comfortable for both of us: ✏️ Please bring a notebook and pen to jot down new expressions 💻 Please check your internet connection and device before the lesson ⏰ Please cancel at least **24 hours** before the scheduled time ⚠️ If you must cancel within 24 hours, please contact me on AmazingTalker Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
