"Mi experiencia estudiando el curso de portugués con la profesora Laís fue muy grata y enriquecedora. Tuve la oportunidad de aprender mucho gracias a su profesionalismo y técnicas de lenguaje. Mejoré mucho mi portugués durante el curso, y al final pude escribir y hablarlo con mucha facilidad. Recomiendo mucho sus clases porque aparte de ser muy útiles, suelen ser muy divertidas."
MSc Rogelio Calderón, CEO de Futbolitos
"Experiencia gratificante y enriquecedora el aprendizaje del portugués con Laís. De manera natural lo fui incorporando día a día según mis necesidades y a través de la cultura, la historia y las costumbres del pueblo brasileño. El mejor método, indudablemente!!!"
Laura Flores, Córdoba, Argentina
"La profesionalidad, cualificación y orientación a objetivos del alumno fueron elementos que valoré para iniciar las clases con Laís. Su simpatía, flexibilidad, interés y vocación por la enseñanza me impidieron cambiar de profesora. Ayudarme a entender la cultura, los valores y el día a día de Brasil me mueven a invitaros a que probéis a recibir clases de portugués con Laís."
Juan Jimenez, Director General de Ibertech
"Durch die Flexibilität und Spontaneität von Laís war es mir möglich während des betrieblichen Alltags als Expatriat portugiesisch zu lernen. Ich kann sie absolut weiterempfehlen!"
Florian Lipfert, MAN
