Prepare your writing and oral interaction with Bárbara Sousa
Build a clearer plan for your Brazilian Portuguese exam preparation with Bárbara. This course helps you understand the Celpe-Bras format and practise the writing and conversation skills you will need to demonstrate.
It is for learners who are planning to take Celpe-Bras and want focused preparation, whether they need to understand the tasks, organise their writing or feel more comfortable discussing unfamiliar topics.
Celpe-Bras is Brazil’s official examination of Portuguese proficiency for non-native speakers. It assesses language use through integrated tasks.
See the official Inep preparation guidance for the exam format and reference materials.
Start with your current Portuguese skills, the exam session you are aiming for and the time you can study each week. A learner who already writes and speaks confidently may need a different preparation plan from someone who is still developing those skills.
Being comfortable in everyday conversation does not necessarily mean that formal writing will feel easy. Give yourself time to practise both parts, especially if you rarely write by hand in Portuguese.
There is no fixed number of weeks that guarantees a result. If you need to strengthen your general Portuguese first, consider individual Brazilian Portuguese lessons; if regular speaking practice is your priority, explore our conversation course.
Bárbara Sousa is a native Brazilian Portuguese teacher from Belo Horizonte and Speak Brazil’s Director of Studies. She holds a degree in Portuguese and a master’s degree in Linguistic Studies from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), Brazil.
