Aulas de Português Online

  If you are staying in Rio you HAVE to study at Caminhos! If you are looking to learn Portuguese, this is the place to do it. The teachers are very... read more patient and make the lessons fun and interesting. What I enjoyed most about Caminhos were the activities they run. I did a samba and forro lesson with Bruno which was so much fun. They also have the best tour guide in Rio, Davi, who runs other activities during the week where you can explore tourist attractions in the city for free. Make sure you try the capoeira class. Davi is the best and will look after you well to make sure you have the best time in Rio. I am so lucky I found Caminhos and everyone there helped to make my time in Rio incredible.

Great presentation... read more of the language, the culture, the current events and history of Brazil. All done to facilitate your learning.

  Going to Caminhos classes while living in Rio was the best part of my day-to-day. This school is more than just language, it provides a sense of community. The atmosphere... read more is friendly and conducive to learning. Teaching methods are great and what you learn in school is immediately applicable to day-to-day conversations. I love that there is a variety of levels and specialized topics classes. Caminhos also puts a lot of effort into organizing extra-curricular activities - hikes, volleyball, picnics. It is lovely!

When not in Brazil (and during the pandemic), I started taking online classes. Highly recommend it to those who are abroad and cannot attend classes in person. There is a lot of flexibility. Different professors have different styles, and all are great! You can choose one or several. I love doing 10 classes each with each teacher. This exposes me to different accents and teaching styles.

All in all, a fantastic school!

  Caminhos is a very good school to learn portuguese and you also get to know a lot of people from around the world! I had an awesome time at the... read more school and can only recommend to go there if you want to get to know not only the language but also the culture of the brazilians and all the nice parts of Rio!!
I‘ve learned portuguese in a couple of weeks and easily made some really good friends that have made my stay in Rio „maravilhoso“ !

  Caminho is truly great. I took 5 weeks of private lessons and now I plan to continue my study by taking online courses. My teachers are wonderful: Antonio, Bruno V,... read more and Denise. The ladies at front desk are the real boss and the best administrative professionals I have ever worked with. Efficient, kind, and always ready to help. There were some hiccups caused by Covid and they were able to arrange everything seamlessly.

I look forward to learning and returning to Caminhos soon!

  I spent 2 months learning Portuguese at Caminhos and was extremely impressed by the quality of the teachers, textbooks, and the style of teaching. Classes are interactive and really work... read more on teaching you the fundamental grammar of Portuguese while working on your listening and speaking skills. On top of that, the school has fun activities planned every week run by a very friendly group of staff members.

If you want to learn Portuguese and explore Rio, Caminhos is a must!

  I loved the 5 weeks I spent learning Portuguese at Caminhos! All of the teachers and the staff were fantastic. The group classes (4hr/day) offered the perfect mix of structure... read more and fun in order to improve your Portuguese quickly. The school uses their own books and materials (included with the group classes) but the teachers still tailor the classes to the needs and interests of their groups.

There are still plenty of outdoor afterschool activities - they were fun and a great way to get to know Rio.

I hope to return to Caminhos soon!

  Caminhos is not just a great place to learn Portuguese. Their programs allow you to use the language as a way to discover Rio de Janeiro and part of Brazilian... read more culture in a way that you wouldn't be able to on your own. Even if you don't necessarily wish to master Portuguese, their group classes and cultural and social activities give you the chance to get to know the real Rio and a group of friends to discover it with. Highly recommended, both for learning the language and for the unique social and cultural experiences you'll have along the way.

I'd definitely recommend this school for anyone who wants to learn Portuguese fast whilst enjoying the Brazilian culture.

  I’ve been taking classes with Caminhos for the last six weeks and I cannot recommend them enough. The physical location is currently closed due to COVID so I am... read more doing online one-on-one courses with a private instructor (Antonio). Antonio is awesome and I always look forward to my lessons (currently three days a week). He’s a great guy; super easy to talk with and we have a lot of fun, even on my days where I feel like I’m just too busy with everything to focus on a foreign language. The whole program is great with scheduling and flexible. I’ve lived in three countries during these six weeks (Brazil, US and Mexico) and the online format has made it super easy to continue my studies while traveling. I hope to do some of their activities when things go back to normal in 2021. Overall great experience and definitely recommend.
