Languages
I believe that understanding different languages is crucial for global collaboration and accessing diverse perspectives. Here is an overview of my current language proficiency based on the CEFR standard.
Portuguese (Native)
Mother tongue. Full professional and conversational fluency.
English (C1, Advanced)
Can understand a wide range of demanding, longer texts, and recognize implicit meaning. Can express ideas fluently and spontaneously without much obvious searching for expressions.
French (B2, Upper Intermediate)
Can understand the main ideas of complex text on both concrete and abstract topics. Can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible.
German (A2, Elementary)
Can understand sentences and frequently used expressions related to areas of most immediate relevance (e.g., very basic personal and family information, shopping, local geography, employment).
Italian (A1, Beginner)
Can understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases aimed at the satisfaction of needs of a concrete type. Can introduce themselves and others.
