Your teacher: Virginia Langhammer

Teaching Portuguese as a second language has become my passion since I moved to NYC in 2013.

I've been always passionate about languages. I speak Portuguese, English, French, and Spanish. My knowledge of foreign language learning gives me the best tools to help my students in their learning journey.

I'm looking forward to having you as my students during this week!

See you in class!

What my students say:


"Muito obrigada, Virginia! I'm just beginning Portuguese, and this is really helping me distinguish all the different sounds from Spanish, which I know much better."

- Diane A.

"Obrigada, Virginia. Most of these, if not all, felt comfortable and doable for me to say/pronounce. I thought it was really cool to see what I've been saying but from a linguistics point of view, that was very fun."

- Christine G.

"Muito obrigada Virginia! Now I feel much more confident speaking Portuguese. Of course, I need to practice a lot but at least now I clearly know the rules."

- Sofia S.
