The CC Club is our online community for Brazilian enthusiasts. We meet live on Zoom to practice real conversation, every class is recorded, and you get the full Carioca Connection Collection too.

Why We Practice Live.
Most learners understand far more than they can say. Speaking regularly, with people who can help when you get stuck, is what closes that gap. That's what the live classes are for.
What You Get
Everything in Self-Study, plus live classes and the community.
Live Group Classes
Real conversation practice on Zoom with Alexia and Foster. This is the heart of the Club. We alternate class times so members in different time zones can join, and every class is recorded, with the replay and class materials posted afterwards.
400+ Episodes
The full archive, always available between classes.
All Worksheets
Eleven seasons of worksheets to back up every class.
Fundamentos
The structured course, included in full.
Adventures with Alexia
Alexia in conversation with Brazilians living all over the world, an advanced series to stretch your ear.
Community
A group of learners worldwide, practicing alongside you.
Priority Support
We answer Club members' questions first.

The CC Club Is for You If…
- You understand more than you can say out loud.
- You want regular speaking practice with real feedback.
- You like learning alongside other people.
- You're ready to start speaking, even if it feels uncomfortable at first.
Maybe Not the Right Fit
- If you only want to listen at your own pace, Self-Study costs less and may suit you better.
- If you need fully private, 1:1 attention, CC Coaching is the better fit.
Who You'll See on the Call
Alexia
Carioca da gema (born & raised in Rio). She's your co-host on the podcast and has been teaching Portuguese for more than a decade.
Foster
American who fell in love with Brazil. He's your cobaia (guinea pig) and makes mistakes so you don't have to.
From CC Club Members
"Thanks to the weekly calls in the CC Club, I was able to quickly improve my Portuguese and I feel ready to meet my Brazilian in-laws! The topics in the calls are always interesting, and I always felt safe to just talk, fail and learn."
"The CC Club has been a fun way to strengthen my Portuguese skills. Above anything, it's made me more confident in speaking Portuguese with people that I don't know, which can be very intimidating."
"When I first joined I was still really nervous about speaking in Portuguese and I was rehearsing phrases in my head before I spoke. Now I feel like I can speak with ease about most topics... After a few sessions, I felt like I transformed what I had been learning in classes into actually being able to have real conversations!"
