I've always found it difficult to learn another language, but Vou Aprender Portugues has been immensely helpful in my journey! Diego is super-easy to understand, and breaks down concepts and rules in a friendly and helpful way. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to learn Portuguese - you won't regret it!

The course is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! It is so professional, well structured, and easy to follow. The courses are fun, engaging, and creative -- I especially love the lessons where you go to the grocery store, airport, restaurants, etc.

I have had 166 lessons with Diego. I keep coming back because he is an amazing teacher. He has brought me from no Portuguese to being able to converse fluently (I still make a lot of errors, but I am easily understood). I am so happy with my results with Diego. And the lessons are fun!

I recently began learning Portuguese with Diego, and after over two months and 20 lessons, I'm pleasantly surprised by my level. Diego's process is excellent: he can work with a complete novice like myself, teach the basics and, before you know it, you are having natural conversations in Portuguese with him.

Having a lesson with Diego is a chance to learn without feeling like it is a formal lesson. Yet, I feel that more advanced grammatical constructions are now coming naturally to the conversation and Diego continues to enrich my vocabulary.

Diego's teaching style is fun and interactive. He encouraged me to speak even if I wasn't completely sure of the phrasing or word and explained my mistakes in an effective way. I look forward to my next class!

Absolutely excellent teaching! Diego laid the groundwork for helping me with more than 5 points of grammar/usage that I have had issues with or didn’t understand the nuances for. This is not unusual for Diego but as a student it will go a long way toward helping me gain confidence when speaking Portuguese.

From the beginning Diego was incredibly friendly and comfortable, and although I started very anxious, I could tell he had such sincerity and respect, which let me relax a lot!

Diego is a great teacher. He pays attention to everything from pronunciation to proper use of grammar. He spent time making sure I was pronouncing things correctly. Furthermore, I was looking for a structured approach and Diego was ready with slides and clear explanations.

Diego is a gem of a portuguese teacher. I was trying to learn on my own, and was too shy to try to speak much with others. He is patient, kind, engaging, open minded, and all around makes learning fun for me. I'm so grateful for him offering his time and service on this platform. Check out his youtube page too! Highly highly recommend.
