Olá! My name is Susana.
I am Portuguese, a true alfacinha (from Lisbon) and the founder of the Portuguese Lab and Storyglot.
My journey began while working as an industrial designer in Germany. Learning German reignited my fascination with languages, transforming teaching and learning into my purpose.
I hold the Cambridge English Proficiency Certification (C2) and the Hoch Deutsches Sprachdiplom (C2). Additionally, I've self-taught several languages, achieving varying fluency levels in Spanish, French, Mandarin, Russian, and Korean.
I know what an emotional roller coaster learning a foreign language can be. It's a challenging yet immensely rewarding journey.
I have helped thousands of students off- and online. Feel free to ask for help if you need it.
“If you are keen on learning proper European Portuguese, chances are you already searched the internet and found only a handful options out there. I can hereby say with confidence and clear conscious that Portuguese Lab Academy is simply the best among these (having tried all the others’ trial versions) when it comes to a structured and organized way of learning, achieving this by an aesthetically appealing and top quality web interface.”
