“1. Supportive Community: The staff and students at Aprenda2 create a welcoming and supportive environment. This positive atmosphere greatly facilitated my learning and made attending classes enjoyable. 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.”
Disliked
“While the course structure and environment were impressive, there was a notable concern regarding the content delivered by one of the teachers. This instructor frequently infused lessons with personal political views, often criticizing Brazilian political figures and promoting socialist ideologies. This was coupled with the use of external socialist/communist newspapers and materials not included in the official curriculum. 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.”
