This school's Standard course is ideally suited for adults, both for general use and for business application, and you’ll be able to take in everything that Rio de Janeiro has to offer while you refine your Portuguese. Your teacher will be your homestay host, imparting 15 hours of private lessons every week that are specifically focused on all the topics and grammar applications that you are most interested in learning.
As full board accommodation, your host family will provide you with three meals per day. If you have any specific dietary requirements, please communicate to the school as far ahead in advance as possible in order to take this into account.
15 hours of your very own private classes is an excellent foundation to push your progress forward, but you will also benefit from getting out and talking to the Rio de Janeiro locals, which might be in the city’s lively street markets, on Copacabana Beach with your classmates, or in the legendary Circo Voador if live music is what you’re looking for.
