General Portuguese Courses
General Portuguese Courses, Brazilian Portuguese in Salvador: these are courses for those who need to speak Brazilian Portuguese on a day-today basis, with the family or at work. The classes consist of practicing oral communication, grammar, reading and writing material.
Standard Portuguese is for students who want to maximize their language learning practice during their stay. It covers 20 hours per week and outdoor lessons planned and held by our teachers (2 afternoons/ week).
Intensive +5 is for students who want to maximize their language learning practice during their stay while combining group and private lessons. It covers 25 hours per week and outdoor lessons planned and held by our teachers (2 afternoons/ week).
In the intensive course, students will have the opportunity to rapidly acquire and develop the four aspects of language learning: comprehension, oral and written production, communicative and interactive skills. Students are encouraged to take an active, systematic approach to grammar and to use it in a natural, communicative way.
It is a 20-hours weekly intensive course in small groups (maximum 9 students - with an average of 4 students/group). Classes last 4 hours, from 9am to 1pm, Monday to Friday.
This is indeed our most popular option, which combines group classes with individual lessons. It allows you to have the regular 4 group classes in the morning plus one or two private sessions in the afternoon starting at 2pm.
Offered to beginner, intermediate, advanced, and professional students with specific needs. Classes start any Monday, and are held Monday through Friday.
Combo courses were designed especially for those who would like to learn Portuguese as fast as possible, but still want to be part of a group class. Combo courses consist of a combination of group and private classes.
Group classes have a maximum of 9 students in a group, have four sessions per day and happen from Monday through Friday. There is always a 20-minute break after 2 sessions.
When the student wishes to have the General Portuguese course (private or in a group), in the morning, and continue to practice what he/she learned during the afternoon, he/she can choose the Combo I.
The Combo I program, in the afternoon, gives continuity to the program of the morning lessons, reinforcing, intensifying and practicing all the themes already studied.
Individual lessons are organised according to the students' specific requests and time availability and may include different professional and cultural themes, if requested. They can be a complement of the General Group courses (see Combined Courses), or a faster way of learning the language.
