Business Portuguese Courses in NYC

Brazil Ahead has pioneered innovative Business Portuguese courses in Manhattan, New York.

Our Business Portuguese instructors are Brazilians with graduate degrees and several years experience with top American and Brazilian corporations.

Portuguese for Business - Intermediate

You will learn to use specialized business vocabulary in your fields of interest (including marketing, banking, and management). Portuguese language books and articles will be used as springboards for discussing business topics and case studies.

Portuguese for Business - Advanced

Each class is organized as a business meeting. Lessons are anchored in current articles from Brazilian business newspapers; usually covering major events that all the students would be familiar with. The business environments simulated in this course include financial services, import/export, fashion, mining and engineering, depending on the students' interest.
