One question I am often asked is: what is the nationality of your students? Mostly I have students from 4 nationalities – Palestinian, Syrian, Lebanese and Indians. 12 students already have the CIPLE Certificate (Initial Certificate of Portuguese as a Foreign Language) – level A2, and one has the DIPLE Certificate (Intermediate Diploma of Portuguese as a Foreign Language) – Level B2.<\/p>\n
For those unfamiliar with the terms, CIPLE attests to a basic general ability to interact in a limited number of daily communication situations, with a very basic level of Portuguese.<\/p>\n
DIPLE already allows for a more advanced level of language, allowing them to integrate into a workplace, including the attendance of academic courses.<\/p>\n
My students are all adults between 30 and 65 years old, with very active working lives, traveling a lot, and who are always learning Portuguese with great commitment and dedication. The preparation is demanding and methodical, always with a permanent state of doubt: “will I succeed?”. Everyone goes through the moment of panic when they hear the words: Caple’s oral exam. Since its an audio file, the voice from the exam speaks quite fast, sometimes using background noises to make it harder to understand. The students get a bit nervous, afraid not to understand what is said.<\/p>\n
The interview also gives them some “tummy aches” because it\u2019s not easy to predict what they will ask, but in the end they always shine.<\/p>\n
My students have already taken the exams in Lisbon, Seville and London. Right now, I have 20 students in preparation for the international CIPLE of November 2019 and April 2020, which will take the exams in Lisbon, London, Macau, Shanghai and Ankara.<\/p>\n
All students who have already did the exams or are preparing to do so, don\u2019t live in Portugal and I\u2019m their only connection to the Portuguese language.<\/p>\n
I must be very proud of their commitment and the good results they have achieved so far.<\/p>\n
Makes me want to do more and better, for their dream, for a purpose, for my students!<\/p>\n
