Where language flourishes and cultures connect
Abby Remer – March 4, 2026
“‘I started working with ACE MV, teaching six-week courses.’ Unlike many language classes, Moreira broadens her focus to integrate all aspects of culture into her classes. ‘We talk about how education works there, the politics, how African people came to Brazil, its geography, music, TV, and food. It’s not just about learning Portuguese, studying verbs and pronouns for six weeks. You can study the language, but if you don’t have a background in the culture and connection with the country, it doesn’t work.'”
