Speak. Read. Write Portuguese
Olá. Tudo bem? (Hi, how are you?)
If you don’t already know Portuguese, you really should consider learning, like, agora (now)!
There are plenty of good reasons to want to learn Portuguese.
From enjoying Portuguese beats to having an exciting experience studying abroad, learning Portuguese can truly expand your horizons and job prospects while making your life colorful.
For sure! People can't help but get curious about you when you start speaking in a foreign language.
Knowing a new language gives you a deeper view into and an appreciation of its culture.
The new language enriches you and gives you more to talk about. Simply start a conversation with "Did you know...?"
You will be able to things you were not able to before you knew the new language.
Knowing Portuguese means you can now make friends in Brazil, Portugal, Mozambique, etc and anyone who speaks the language.
Believe it or not, knowing one more language makes your resume stand out and gives you an "unfair" advantage.
You can now decide to live, work or do business in places and with people that speak the language.
Tackling grammatical rules, structure and lexis of a new language will require focused attention. That enhances your eye for details plus it will give your mathematical ability a boost.
In the process of acquiring a language, cognitive abilities expand as well. The continuous practice of word memorization, understanding and applying general concepts gives you the intuition for other subjects.
Guess What? We Accelerated It
I first heard about the Marlin Learning Method, it was from a commercial I read on an in-flight magazine. That was back in the 2003, I was flying back from Latin America.
The mentioned method promised to open up the mind and to shortcut the mastering of a foreign language.
The idea interested me so much that I wasted no time in placing an order for the book.
After that, it was several weeks of eagerly checking my mailbox. I could not wait for it to land in my hands.
The well written handbook was really worth my wait.
In fact, I devoured it from cover to cover more than twice, highlighted many portions of it and wrote notes of what I picked up in the pages.
The language handbook became the reference material I used for developing Good Spanish In 8 Weeks™ (or GSi8W™), the course that shall be fondly remembered as GSi8W™ in short. It is built on Marlin but it's even faster.
I am probably being biased here. Why such insistance about the Spanish language?
Honestly, it is because I consider it one of the easier languages for any English speaker to pick up.
And, the most obvious choice after mastering Spanish would be Portuguese - at least that is what my experience taught me.
We then developed Good Portuguese in 8 Weeks™ using the same principles for GSi8W™.

Translation and Singapore: The Big Idea
...is to bridge this tiny island to the world.
The idea of becoming an unusual translation company and a linguistic bridge was conceived in 2004.
It began with one person - a Singaporean who lived more than five years in Latin America and who, at that time, had taught, translated and proofread the Spanish language for eight years.
She is today a team of carefully selected professional native translators and interpreters to ensure quality translations and interpretations.
Our local web-designer cum consultant, Ai Gek, also deserves credit for tirelessly lending expertise and professional support, thus making this website a possibility.
Being in Singapore means that all translation projects will be co-ordinated from here. This also means that you can always count on our availability to discuss project matters, be updated on the progress, and for any other needs during your office hours.
How We Were Formed
...it was quite unusual.
We never imagined a mission trip to Chile in 1994 could lead to this. GOD equipped an ordinary Singaporean man for His work and then gave the idea of starting a company upon his return. HE is the rightful founder of the company.
Through a friend, the Singaporean attended a Latin Asia Business Forum organised jointly by Americas Society, the Council of the Americas and IE Singapore back in October 2003.
At the forum, the idea about being able to use the acquired Spanish language to help push the country forward sparked an interest in him.
Bridge SA was registered in 2004.
What We Do (in a nutshell)
Translation Services
to bridge the language chasm
The first thing we did was to offer our translation skills.
We translated all kinds of documents at different levels of complexity and volume.
From a one-page certificate to a thousand-page manual, as long as we can help to facilitate that application, that trade, we did it and we strove to do it well.
We understood the importance of clear communication, which is why we only focus on languages that we know.
Language Lessons
to add wings to enthusiasts
The second most logical language-related service we offered was language lessons.
We started offering it because we knew we could do it well. We began with the Spanish language.
Our learners include people from 10-year-olds to 60-year-olds, and from all walks of life.
The reasons for learning the language were also varied. From mere interest, to travel, to work, everyone learned with a different motive.
Business Consultancy
to be the missing link
Now, having lived in Latin America for close to 10 years altogether, we not only know the language, we understand a bit of their culture as well.
Coupled with our own skills in Marketing and Business Development, we are able to help businesses make contact with Latin America and businesses with shoe-strapped budgets to develop, launch and grow their business.
Having started a business from scratch in 2004, we are particularly interested in helping tiny local start-ups in the above three mentioned areas.
When you start your Portuguese language course, you will join an inspiring community of students and teachers from around the world. With plenty of opportunities to practice your conversational skills and interact in a variety of social contexts, an enriching experience awaits you at inlingua.
