ONLYVERSION speaks and translates your language: English, Spanish, French and Portuguese. English Lessons: the classes are tailor-made for each student depending on the situation and extent of his/her knowledge. However, each student follows a different program, depending on his/her interests. We have regular lessons for all levels including conversation, listening, pronunciation, reading, writing, programs for travel, conferences, exchanges, moving countries, university courses, job interviews and language examinations (TOEFL, Cambridge, Masters, Doctorates, etc.). Immersion: we also work with immersion programs where small groups of students spend the day using the language in different ways. Portuguese for foreigners: we teach Portuguese for foreigners who wish to learn the language for various reasons. Translation: we translate into and from English, French, Spanish and Portuguese, both within and outside of Brazil. We also offer lessons via computer, where the student doesn’t have to leave his/her home or office. He/she could be anywhere in the world, as is the case with foreigners.

The classes can be either taught individually or in small groups at our office in Pituba, the student’s office/home or even in the supermarket or shopping centre, depending on the student’s interests.

Save time: lessons in English and Portuguese for Foreigners can also be provided via computer so that the student doesn’t need to leave his/her home or office.
