The G Academy · Brazilian Portuguese
Speak by Natal.
Talk to your Brazilian family this Christmas.
Start from zero. Be ready in 15 days. A short, guided course to greet, thank, toast and chat at the family table — in the family's own language.
Limited spots. Enrollment closes soon — Black Friday, November 27.
You can feel the love at the table. You just can't join the conversation.
The jokes go by. Everyone laughs. Someone passes you the farofa and you smile and nod. You don't need to be fluent — you need the right 150 words, said with the right sounds, practiced out loud.
Your finish line
By Dec 15, you can say this
Muito prazer em conhecer vocês!
Nice to meet you all. Your first minute with the family.
Está delicioso! Só um pouquinho.
It's delicious! Just a little. Compliment the food and say when you're full.
A gente se conheceu em Austin.
We met in Austin. Tell your story, in your own words.
Um brinde a vocês! Saúde!
A toast to all of you — live, on graduation day.
The 15 days
One small step a day, built around the Christmas table
Each day: a 15–20 minute video, a “repeat after me” audio, a one-page cheat sheet and a 2-minute speaking task. A Day 0 welcome video arrives Nov 30.

Questions
I know zero Portuguese. Is this really for me?
Yes. It's built for true beginners: ready-made phrases first, grammar later.
How much time does it take each day?
About 20 minutes: a short video plus a 2-minute speaking task, whenever suits you.
Will I be fluent by Christmas?
No — nobody can promise that in 15 days. You'll greet, thank, toast and hold simple conversations with the family.
What if I miss a live class?
Live classes are recorded, and private lessons are booked at times that work for you.
Brazilian or European Portuguese?
Brazilian Portuguese, the way your partner's family speaks it.
