This is the first step for anyone learning a new language. Based on this definition, created in 1975 at the opening of the company, we started our journey of more than 46 years in language teaching. Our history begins when the founder, Marli Martins, that at the time was an English and German teacher who decided to follow her dream. After realizing a great increase of students who needed to learn a second language for work purposes, Marli made the decision to leave the old classroom approach offered by conventional language courses, and move into the corporate world, developing a unique methodology.

Telling us this story, she remembers that her old car was her first ‘mobile office’ in which she drove all over Rio de Janeiro giving classes to young entrepreneurs and executives from small to large companies. It was not long before she opened her first school, a vibrant cultural center in a three-story house at Tijuca (Rio de Janeiro). More than language training, Auding Idiomas offered cultural and networking activities out of the classroom: happy hours, vernissages, jazz nights and theater performances. Marli started the “Immersion” program, with Serpro as its first client and later Robert Borsch, Unisys, Roche, Petrobrás and hundreds of other companies.

We are proud of this successful journey of decades, and our team believes that it is important to keep tradition, but constant innovation on our courses and practices is essential. Our customers range from small to large companies and students who have no time to waste and who are tired of ineffective teaching methods.
