RioONLINE!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
I’ve been studying at Rio & Learn for the past month. I started with in-person classes at the school, and now I’m continuing with online classes. I just want to say—I really love this academy!

I chose Rio & Learn because they offer fun and engaging activities, but what I love the most are the teachers. Each teacher has a different style, and they rotate them, so you don’t always have classes with the same person. I love that! It gives you a mix of teaching methods, which really works for me.

One of the best things about the school—both in-person and online—are the extra activities they offer. In Rio, the activities include visits to interesting places around the city. Online, there are daily conversation sessions, games, and topic-based discussions that make learning even more fun and dynamic. The in-person activities sometimes depend on having enough students join, due to logistics and transportation costs, so occasionally they get canceled—but that’s totally understandable and no one’s fault.

They also have Dica do Dia, a free daily newsletter that’s excellent—not only for practicing Portuguese, but also for learning more about Brazilian culture.

I’m still studying and planning to continue for the rest of the year!

Special shoutouts:

Tomás at the front desk—always super helpful on WhatsApp and responds with a great attitude.

Dayane for her amazing customer service, flexibility, and quick response time.

Alle, a great teacher and also a talented dancer!

Dani, for her contagious energy.

Marcelle, an excellent teacher—we had an epic class about the word fofocar that I’ll never forget.

Sabrina, her online classes are incredible. I love how she makes me learn. When I say something in Spanish by accident, she’s like: “FORGET that word, say tchau—‘bye bye’ ”

Sara, always super organized and creative—she brings activities that really help me use my imagination.

Igor and Rafael, you two are awesome! Thanks for holding it down in the RioOnline space.

I had the pleasure of learning Portuguese for 11 weeks with the Rio ONLINE team, and it was an amazing experience! I had classes twice a week for two hours, and I genuinely enjoyed every moment. I started as a beginner with some knowledge from other Latin languages like Spanish and Italian, and I was already a bit familiar with Brazilian Portuguese. After a few weeks, I was thrilled to move up to the intermediate level.

The classes were focused on spoken language, with each session covering two grammar topics. They also offer homework to help improve writing skills, but I didn’t take advantage of it because of my limited time.

Now, at the end of my course, I’m super proud to say I can have conversations in Portuguese! My listening and speaking skills have improved so much.

The online teachers are fantastic—knowledgeable, supportive, and most importantly, fun! They knew exactly what I needed to focus on and made every class enjoyable. I was always looking forward to the next lesson.

I’ll most likely continue my classes after my trip to Brazil. Highly recommend!

I've started taking online Portuguese courses from Rio&Learn and I'm very satisfied and happy. There are lots of class options (from 4 hours weekly to 10 hours weekly), so it's impossible no to find something which doesn't suit you. The classes are always very informative and entertaining with lots of material and creative approaches. The students are encouraged to talk and learn different aspects of the language. The teachers are very competent, they are both professional and friendly and they constantly prioritize the demands, requests and necessities of the students. I'm very glad to have selected this school, and hope to continue for a long time! Apart from the regular courses, the school also has a daily one hour meeting program (for no extra charge) which is called RioOnline, in which a different topic is analyzed every day. It's a great way to practice what you learn during the classes. This school is highly recommended! Obrigado!

Rio online is a great way to learn Portuguese.  The teachers are excellent in explaining things toroughly and taking their time.  they speak and write so whichever way you learn the best, you have here.  I also enjoy the extras movies, games, and opportunities to speak with people from around the world outside of your class time.

Rio online is fantastic. I take a few private lessons online from the US, as well as participate in some of the group activities and school chat. I also did a two week immersion in Rio. For anyone serious about learning Portuguese in a fun way that is about speaking and getting comfortable speaking,  this is an amazing school and resource. They are also very easy to access and svhedule, with great support via WhatsApp.

It's the first time I've studied Portuguese with teachers and I must say this place is great to learn. At the moment my teachers have been Ana Carolina and Dani, but I have also done online activities at RioOnline with them, Monique, Igor,... and they are activities in which I also learn many different things. Overall I'm very happy with my classes and what I'm learning 🙂
