Translated by Sophie Foggin.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Have you realized that since our company was born we are always learning something new? Asking questions, studying and working; asking questions, studying and working, asking questions, studying and working&#8230; We have been constantly and involuntarily repeating these same actions, every day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>Education liberates us<\/i>\u201d, the Greek Philospher Epiktetos once said.<\/p>\n<p>Education is a fundamental human right: it offers personal, intellectual, professional and social development for every individual. A quality education allows social, economic and cultural evolution of the human race, thus guaranteeing a better quality life. However, unfortunately, the reality in which we currently live is that a large portion of the global population still does not have access to education.<\/p>\n<p>When thinking about the importance of education and bearing its advance in mind, <a href=\"\/en.php\">Instituto aprenda\u00b2<\/a> was born (pronounced: &#8216;aprenda&#8217; squared, or, &#8216;aprenda&#8217; timesed by 2!)<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 2010, <a href=\"\/en.php\">Instituto aprenda\u00b2<\/a> is a teaching institution focused on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/aprenda2.org\/projeto\/\">Creating new educational tools<\/a>, through the training of a community of teachers, in order to develop methods and cutting-edge educational tools that the public and private educational sectors can then benefit from.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Projects that involve communication between people:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/aprenda2.org\/pt-br.php\">Teaching languages<\/a>, beginner&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/aprenda2.org\/portugues\/sao-paulo\/pt-br.php\">Portuguese for foreigners<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/aprenda2.org\/francais\/sao-paulo\/index.php\">French<\/a>, with native teachers (Brazilian or French). The course is aimed as much at the language, as it is the socio-cultural part of the country, teaching pupils: habits and customs, local history, art and general culture, promoting intercultural mixing.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/aprenda2.org\/traducoes\/pt-br.php\">Translations<\/a>: simple, certified or technical, into English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, German, Italian and Arabic. Instituto aprenda\u00b2 does level <strong>M<\/strong> translations, that is to say, in the <strong>M<\/strong>aternal language of the translator, purely to remain as<strong> faithful<\/strong> to the language as possible and produce the best <strong>quality<\/strong> work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-269\" src=\"https:\/\/aprenda2.org\/blog\/portugues\/files\/2015\/01\/blog-ballon.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"261\" height=\"284\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At <a href=\"\/en.php\">Instituto aprenda\u00b2<\/a>, we have a commitment to education! With this in mind, we thought of creating the <strong>aprenda\u00b2 Blog<\/strong>, the idea being to help our pupils, friends and also those who are looking to find out about the company.<\/p>\n<p>To start off with, at the moment, our content will be aimed largely at a foreign audience, however, we intend to expand the Blog in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Being foreign is not easy! Frequently, we chaperone some of our Portuguese pupils to get through situations that can be easy for natives, but difficult for foreigners, for example, how to apply for\/ withdraw a CPF without being Brazilian. Our objective is increasingly to help and make the life of our pupils and foreigners easier, in general, while they are in Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>Here in the <strong>aprenda\u00b2 Blog<\/strong>, we are going to talk a bit about a range of different subjects, for example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Survival tips for foreigners in Brazil, more specifically in Rio or in S\u00e3o Paulo<\/li>\n<li>Tourist tips for Rio and S\u00e3o Paulo<\/li>\n<li>Local culture and commemorative dates<\/li>\n<li>Idiomatic expressions, popular sayings, regionalism<\/li>\n<li>Brazilian literature<\/li>\n<li>Grammar, phonetics, online exercises<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The <strong>aprenda\u00b2 Blog<\/strong> is a work-in-progress, but it is being made with love and care by us at <a href=\"\/en.php\">Instituto aprenda\u00b2<\/a>, therefore, we are counting on your help to keep improving!
