My name is Fernando and I'm a Brazilian Portuguese Teacher, Translator & Interpreter based in London, UK. I was born in Porto Alegre, the capital of the Brazil's Rio Grande do Sul State. After I graduated from university, I visited London as a tourist and liked it so much that I moved back to train to be a teacher, translator and interpreter. In my 20+ years of experience I have helped many people on their journey to learn Brazilian Portuguese. Teaching is my passion and I am proud to have taught Brazilian Portuguese to staff of British Airways, BBC, Sotheby’s, Fine Line Film Distribution, among many others.

Learning how Brazilians speak
FWBP has allowed me to learn how actual Brazilians speak Portuguese in conversational situations. Having access to the PDF notes ensures that topics and lessons can be reviewed. I would recommend Fernando to any individual aspiring to bring their learning to the next level.

Fernando is a great teacher!
Having completed the entire Portuguese course in Duolingo at the end of this past year, I began looking for other ways to continue my learning. I thought this course would mainly be some review for me, but I’ve enjoyed learning so much! Fernando is an excellent teacher and clearly explains all the concepts, and his visual aids are excellent. Duolingo does a good job at getting you to practice, but it doesn’t teach you the how’s and why’s. Thankful for the excellent explanations in this course!

Great course, great value for money.
I love this course. The course is nicely indexed, and each section has not only a video explanation but also a PDF which covers the content of the video and more. You will learn the pronunciations and the basics rules. The course can be used as a reminder or quick lookup of topics and as an everyday refresher. The course covers a surprising amount of content, over 48 lessons.

Great Learning Material
I bought this course to help refresh things I had already learned and also to hopefully pick up some things I hadn't come across before..and it ticked both boxes. I especially like the explanation of colloquialisms. Overall this was a very worthwhile purchase and a great addition to my collection of learning materials for Brazilian Portuguese! Muito obrigado Fernando!

Great course for ALL levels - beginners to advanced!
I am really enjoying - and learning from - Fernando's course! I speak fluently but have never studied Portuguese formally, and the step-by-step approach and detail provided has been really helpful for me to deepen my understanding of Portuguese. My kids are just beginning and the lessons are small enough chunks that they can stay focused long enough and retain a lot of what they are learning. I especially love the focus on pronunciation and explaining how certain sounds differ from English or what might be challenging for English speakers; that has helped my kids immensely. Highly recommended whether you're just learning or need to brush up on your current skills.
