About Us

Fala Aí

Fala Aí is a Portuguese course for foreigners created by Brazilians — the only one in Rio. Igor Felizzola is the founder, and after working for two years at another school, he decided to open his own school and invited his best friend Filipe to be his partner in this venture.

We believe that learning a language should be a joyful journey, deeply connected to the culture, the music, and the people of Brazil. That's why every class feels like a conversation with a friend.
