| Natalie (24 years - 2.Aug.2011) I loved the sense of community I felt within the student body and between the students and faculty. Not only was the facility accessible and comfortable, the classes were extremely helpful in my language development and created a fun environment to explore language and culture.. Pasteis in Belem!. | |
| Julie (23 years - 2.Aug.2011) Good location and friendly teachers.. | |
| Carlos (29 years - 4.Jul.2011) There were many people form different countries and there were few people attending in each class, thus you had to speak in portuguese almost as a must. That was good!. | |
