I believe that if you read a few pages of this website it will not be difficult for you to realise that dealing with aspects that involve the Portuguese language and culture (be it Continental, African or Brazilian) are my passions.

Doing Portuguese Business is no exception!

Throughout many years I have worked as a Lecturer of Portuguese, and I also have developed many other activities, most of them within importers/exporters, from bottom to top level of management.

Throughout the years, I have also studied, researched and accumulated a great deal of experience mastering this awareness and know-how.

My research interest in Portuguese has been always in the business field. My Master's degree dissertation concentrates on this area - Modern Foreign Languages In The Corporate Business Settings.

Therefore, I am proud of being very familiar with what you need to succeed in a Portuguese-speaking country.

Throughout over twenty years I have also worked for a wide range of blue-chip companies, which gave me an excellent understanding of the business know-how as a whole. I worked together with the chiefs of department. I learned their strategies and suggested best ways to do it, bringing always extra value to their projects.

But I am not alone when I'm offering these services to you.

I have the pleasure to work with Luis - an IT Consultant with more than twenty years experience in the corporate areas whose expertise concentrates on the area of Business Processes optimisation, restructuring and development, as well as implementation of IT systems.

Luis has also an excellent background on these fields, and because he is a Portuguese native speaker, he will also be in his element helping your company reach its goals in any Portuguese speaking country. For instance, right now, he has developed a revolutionary and unique way of payment over your cell phone, which is, right now, being implemented in all shops worldwide. Ahh! If you are interested, and maybe if you have a shop, you might want to have a look at Delos Solutions. Yes. Check it out.

Anyway, this is to say that both, Luis and I, are passionate, dynamic and hard working people who aim perfection and 100% satisfaction in everything we do, be it both International or Portuguese business.

That's why we work so well together.

What People Say About This Site And The Lessons We Have Together:

"Hi Rafa

This site is just amazing - I really enjoy having the resource available to learn Portuguese - and have learnt so much from it already.Please keep adding more!

Nina." - South Africa

"A great Portuguese teacher!

Rafa speaks excellent English, and as a result is able to explain subtleties that other teachers can't.

He can speak Portuguese clearly for the beginner or with the slang and difficult pronunciation that everyday Portuguese so often use. This is a great help.

The use of Skype to conduct a lesson at a distance is great. It works absolutely fine.

His site has lots of goodies and is very useful. That, combined with Rafa himself as a teacher over Skype is an excellent way to learn the language."

Dale - Netherlands.

"Dear Rafa,

Just wanted to thank you that you took your time and build this page. In my opinion is the best page for learning Portuguese, I just love your way of teaching! I've already taken lessons in my country but now everything seems much, much easier!

Muito obrigada :)

Ana." - Slovenia

"I contracted the services of Mr Rafael Tavares this summer to help me in the preparation of a series of lectures I will be giving in Mozambique. Mr Tavares managed to impart to me an incredibly clear insight to the fundamentals of Portuguese grammar and construction, which has boosted my ability and confidence enormously."

Dr. Boomer - London, England

"Ola Rafa!

Just want to say that I have found your site on learning Portuguese absolutely great! I am planning to come over to Portugal early next year to live and try to find work. Like you say it takes time to learn a language and that is true, but I do feel much more confident learning Portuguese from your site than any book, class or tapes etc... Thanks for the great site!

Cheers from Melbourne Australia.

Richard" - Australia

"It's just great to learn with Rafa. His enthusiasm, dedication and humour are really inspiring and encouraging. A student could not ask for a better Portuguese teacher."

Jessica - Canada

"Hi Rafa

Congratulations on your site, which I have just found. I began Portuguese just a few weeks ago at weekly evening class and, despite being a pretty good Spanish speaker, am finding Portuguese pronunciation hard going. Your section on this topic, plus the free lesson at front of site, are a definite help to learn Portuguese.Muito obrigado!"

Harry" - UK

"I would have absolutely no hesitation whatsoever in recommending in the highest possible terms Mr Tavares to anyone wishing to learn or improve their Portuguese."

John - L.A., USA

"Olá! Eu queria escrever só porque gosto muito do seu site! Eu amo o português!! Eu gosto do que você escreve sobre o medo e a mente quando aprendemos línguas.

Eu gosto de ler coisas sobre como aprender Português na internet. Eu aprendi Português enquanto morei no Rio de Janeiro por 6 meses e falando só com os Brasileiros. Ajudou também ter um namorado brasileiro. Estou aprendendo ainda, todo dia, mas tenho confiança em enfrentar qualquer Brasileiro para dar uma idéa! Hoje em dia tem tantos métodos de estudar. Eu vejo vídeos no youtube - entrevistas, programas de televisão, músicas - e ler os commentarios - isso é muito bom para aprender as gírias! É bom também memorizar as letras das musicas....

Boa sorte! Gostei do seu site!

Stephanie" - USA

"I have been deeply impressed by Rafa's structured way of teaching and his ability to identify the really key aspects for his students, thus enabling me to advance very rapidly without spending time on less important or extraneous topics."

Diane - NY, USA

"Bom dia, Rafa :)

I like your page and it is very useful for me when I learn Portuguese since I get a lot of information which is easy to understand. Thank you so much for your effort.

Donata" - Lithuania

"Olá Rafa!

O meu nome é Jakub. Eu só queria dizer que eu estou feliz de encontrar o seu site. Acho que ele é muito bom e útil! Eu tento aprender a língua Portuguesa porque tenho muitos amigos Angolanos na minha cidade - Cracovia.
And something I'm not yet able to express in Portuguese... I very much like your way of sharing knowledge and your sense of humour. Muito obrigado!

Jakub" - Poland

"Hi Rafa,

Your site is a really useful resource, and I found your comparison of the personal infinitive/future subjunctive very interesting – I happened upon it precisely when I was struggling to grasp the concept, thinking I may be the only one with this problem!

Alex" - UK

"Hi Rafa

This is a great site! I'm a British ex-pat and I have been living in Portugal for 15 months now, but I am still struggling with the language. I've spent a lot of money on books, CDs and language lessons.
I like the idea of practising my pronunciation by reading out the text but I think the text you have chosen is far too difficult. In my opinion, an easier text with more commonly used words would be more useful and make beginners feel less overwhelmed!
Many thanks again, it's a great site!

Jennifer" - Portugal

"Olá Rafa

I love the website!!! I can see that a lot of long nights and a lot of thinking went into this site.

Cenk." - England
