Learn Brazilian Portuguese in São Paulo — padaria counter included

Join the waitlist Conversation first — the flashcards write themselves.

Brazilian Portuguese is warm, open-vowelled and everywhere — and the padaria is its natural habitat. Bia's counter in Vila Madalena teaches you the daily liturgy: «e aí, beleza?», the cafezinho offered before you ask, «valeu» on the way out.
