Give your kids the investment that will last a lifetime!

It is commonly said that kids are like sponges when it comes to learning, as they absorb everything so naturally and so easily. Children are uniquely suited to learning languages. For them there is no difference between “mother tongue” or “second language”.

Young children can acquire native-like fluency as easily as they learned to walk. Where adults have to work through an established first-language system, studying explicit grammar rules and practicing rote drills, the young kids learn naturally, absorbing the sounds, structures, intonation patterns and rules of a second language intuitively, as they did their mother tongue. The young brain is inherently flexible, uniquely hard-wired to acquire language naturally.

Have you ever thought about how Brazil is going to be like in 10-15 years? Now think about the competitive edge in future markets and the global marketplace you will be giving your child by enrolling them in our Portuguese course for kids.

Our instructors are native speakers with a long experience teaching kids, both in Brazil and in the U.S. Our school also has a wide range of materials designed exclusively to teach Portuguese to the little ones.

Your kids will also be exposed to Brazilian culture as some of their classmates are Brazilian-descendants and already have some cultural references they gained from their parents. At Brazil in Chicago we strongly believe that a language cannot be taught without the culture of those who speak it, so through the activities and materials used in class, the kids will develop a better understanding of others and, hence, of themselves.

Also important, after Portuguese, all other romance languages (Spanish, French, Italian and Romanian) become pretty easy to learn.

By giving your children the opportunity to learn Portuguese at an early age, you will be enriching their lives as they will grow up with an expanded world view and greater intercultural appreciation and sensitivity.
