About Lilian

(concealed information) I'm Lilian, a passionate educator with over 25 years of experience. I've had the pleasure of working with thousands of students, helping them achieve fluency and confidence in Portuguese, Spanish, and English as a Second Language. My goal is to foster critical thinking, writing skills, and success in translation and language teaching. I personalize my lessons and teaching materials to meet your unique needs. I hold a PhD in Critical Translation Studies and an MA in Linguistics. Since 2011, I've been teaching Latin American Cultural Studies and Portuguese at the University of Queensland. I've also shared my expertise at Middlebury College (USA) and Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (Brazil). Let's embark on a language and culture journey together!

Through a communicative approach, I assess and address the needs of each student. Study material and homework are selected and elaborated by me, based on the students' profile and needs. In the first two meetings, I gather information about students' needs through guided and relaxed conversation. In the following classes, I address these needs in a way that motivates and instigates the students to explore the topic and to become independent learners.

  • Did you grow up speaking this language? Or were you inspired by a trip abroad, an individual or a certain aspect of the culture?

    I am from Florianopolis, Floripa as it is kindly called by its fellow citizens. It is an island in the south of Brazil. I teach Portuguese as a second language for almost 25 years, motivated be my endless interest in learning about other cultures.
  • Can you name a living, historical or fictional character that you think is the emblematic representative of the language's culture?

    Brazilian music is an important part of Brazilian culture, so singers like Chico Buarque, Caetano, Marisa Monte and many other singers and composers are representative. Soccer is also an icon in Brazil, and so its players Pelé, Ronaldinho, Neymar.
  • Is there a typical word, phrase, tradition or expression in the language that you particularly like?

    Brazilians love two main national traditional events: carnival in the Summer, and Festa Junina in the winter. These are the traditions that I most like, that get Brazilians together in any part of the world.

    A language I like in Portuguese is the "ó" at the end of a sentence when you are showing something to someone. "Toma isso aqui ó". It comes from "olha", look.
  • Why does speaking this language matter to you?

    It is my native language, it expresses my soul and my deep thoughts.
  • What is the main difficulty in learning this language and what can help the process of learning?

    Pronouncing nasal words can be challenging. I recommend you to close the mouth in words that end with nasal sounds and let the sound come out from the nose.
  • Provide a valuable anecdote related to your language learning or your days at school.

    A German student in Brazil was surprised that Brazilians drink avocado smoothie, and told me how disappointed he was was he miss-pronounced "abacaxi" at a juice shop, when asking for a "pineapple juice" and got an avocado smoothie "abacate". At this moment I notice how similar is the pronunciation of both words!
  • How has travel or a specific trip helped you to increase your skill and knowledge of the language?

    I was 16-17 when I first learned a second language, Italian, in Italy, where I lived for almost 2 years. It was a life changing experience. I learned how to learn a language and to reflect upon my own. I felt in love about learning and teaching languages. Since then, I also learned English,French, Spanish and taught Portuguese around the world for over 1000 people.
