Professional Portuguese for the Workplace (L5)

By the end

What you'll build

  • Hold the Brazilian professional register — warm, você-based, and personal before transactional
  • Contribute to a meeting: give an update, interrupt politely, disagree with a superior, ask for clarification
  • Write Brazilian work email that reads as native — openings, attachments, requests and the right sign-off
  • Recognise the indirect refusal and deliver one yourself without damaging the relationship
  • Answer the standard Brazilian interview questions, including salary
  • Give a three-minute spoken project update and survive an unscripted workplace roleplay
