Luciana de Souza is our resident Brazilian.  Born in Salvador, Bahia in northeastern Brazil, she came to Buenos Aires, Argentina two years ago to learn Spanish and do a postgraduate program in Latin American Literature.  After teaching Portuguese for a time, Luciana joined the Educaedu team in March of 2009.

In the office, Luciana is the Content Manager for Brazil and Portugal.  Anything we need to do in Portuguese, Luciana is there to help us out, including lengthy translations and communications with clients and customers.  She also handles our account on Orkut (a Facebook-esque site that is incredibly popular in Brazil).  So if you want to say hi or make a comment, you can visit her by clicking here.

Luciana loves Argentina, but for her, Brazil is the best country in the world and no one can convince her otherwise (believe me, we’ve tried!).  She will eventually return, but for now she will be at Educaedu, cooking, dancing, and laughing with her workmates who try to speak Portuguese with her.

Favorite food: Cozido – A Brazilian stew made with meat and vegetables.

Favorite author: Jorge Amado – a modern Brazilian writer

Best class ever taken: Arabic Dance Workshop – it only lasted 4 hours but she learned a lot about the culture and history behind the practice
