Our school is an approved community language school conducted through the NSW Department of Education&#8217;s Community Language Program.<\/p>\n<p>Classes are offered to adults and kids (3 &#8211; 12 yo), running once a week in person or online. Our mission is to inspire our students and their families to know their heritage language and remind them about our identity, making a positive contribution to Australia and our world.<\/p>\n<p>We strongly believe that culture is the most important component of language learning. Because of that, we use a lot of cultural knowledge in our classes and offer workshops about Brazillian subjects such as capoeira, science and dance.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/aquarelaportuguese.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cintia_placeholder2-292x300.png\" alt=\"cintia_placeholder2\" itemprop=\"image\" title=\"cintia_placeholder2\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<h5>MEET THE TEACHER<\/h5>\n\t<h5>Cintia Baio has been teaching Portuguese in Australia since 2019.
