da silve-se
Brazilian culture is as layered, as complex and as varied as any other.
So much so one would be hard pressed to pin it down to one single definition.
Good news is that we are not even trying to for the culture we are celebrating here might as well be best communicated as an attitude.
And, as once said by Walter E. Houghton, "attitudes are elusive. Try to define them and you lose their essence, their special color and tone. They have to be apprehended in their concrete and living formulation."
In this sense, if there is one thing we cannot risk doing is to lose all of the special colors and tones of Brazilian Portuguese in that this is exactly what Brasileiro da Silva is all about. It is about the concrete and living formulation of the language that produces the riches of possibilities we are going to explore so you can further your understanding of Brazil and its culture.
That is the very Brasileiro da Silva essence and we are here to share it with you.
THE DA SILVA APPROACH
Although one might argue - and for good reason - that we are partial to a culturally sentive and responsive set of beliefs, when it comes to our approach to teaching Brazilian Portuguese, there is nothing set in stone really.
Unless you are talking about our firm commitment to get you where you want to be, which, ultimately, is the reason why a loose “everything goes” philosophy wouldn’t exactly cut it here.
In order to make you fulfill your full potential, we do not want to be shackled by any standard material or technique you might have already come across along the way and nor do we want you to feel like there is nothing orienting our classes.
The answer lies in between what is believed to be either too rigid or too flexible.
The answer is the Brazilian way.
As we move forward, we want to tap into the range of possibilities one can find in the spectrum of approaches and methodologies so as to curate the journey that best caters to your needs.
Speaking of which, as we know one of your needs is to make sure you are doing the right thing by taking classes with us, we are offering a fifteen-minute free class where you can get to know us and make a better informed decision.
