Gold and Black plans
The course is free. Feedback and the live class get you speaking.
Nobody unlocks a language just by clicking the right answer. Gold is for what comes next: instant feedback on what you wrote and said, in every lesson — and, every week, a live room with teacher Alexandre. Need to speak fast? Black is one-on-one, 1 to 5 times a week.
Feedback in every lesson
Get automatic AI feedback on what worked, important changes and a next attempt. Human review is separate: confirm turnaround and quantity with the team before subscribing.
Live every week
An online group room with teacher Alexandre to clear up questions, work through the platform's exercises together and get corrected on the spot.
Conversation and pronunciation
Voice chats with IA De Quebra in the lesson's situations, pronunciation scores and audio for every sentence.
- What worked
- “com a minha mãe” is spot on — that's exactly how people say it.
- Your corrected sentence
- Ontem eu
voufui no mercado com a minha mãe. - Why
- “Ontem” calls for the past: vou becomes fui. And “fui no mercado” is how people really talk in Brazil — the textbook says “ao mercado”.
- Next attempt
- And what did you buy there?
Illustrative example. With the subscription, the feedback is on what you write or say.

About the scholarship
The school
A language school born in the quebrada.
DQPM teaches English, German and Brazilian Portuguese starting from literature, music and real conversation. It began in the outskirts of São Paulo, with free classes to test whether the idea worked outside of theory, and now works between Brazil and Europe on the same principle: language is a tool for work and freedom, not a membership card for a closed club.
- 2021
The year of the first classes, still free, to test the method.
- 1,000+
People who have studied with us since then.
- 2
People on the team. Two: teaching, platform and content.

Student voices
What our students say about us 🖤
Jonathas Carvalho
Communicator & Educator
Student from the Casa do Hip-Hop de Diadema class
“Innovative and revolutionary! We need access to education, culture, communication, money, and other countries above all.”
Larissa Batista
Student
Member of the first class
“I loved being part of the project. I started dedicating myself much more to learning English, and the classes helped me understand a lot of basic things I hadn't grasped so clearly before.”
Fabiano Carmo
Student
Member of the first class
“I can only thank you for the opportunity to take part and say how important this work is — especially for Black people from the quebrada like me, who often can't afford to pay for a course.”
Alana Tamira
Student
Member of the first class
“I think the teaching approach is very accessible, and even when it's entirely in English it's still totally possible to understand what's being said — plus there's so much patience and availability, in class and on social media.”
