Conveniently located in the hart of Ipanema, I took 4 hours of group class in... read more the morning and 2 hours (private) conversation class in the afternoon. I had different teachers. Bruno and Fernando. Both very intelligent guys, fun to interact with and great teachers. I had quite some theoretical knowledge when I began but could hardly speak a full sentence. They made me speak. Mistakes didn't matter. I don't know what happend but after the week, it started to click and I can now actually get around in Rio and speak the language and have less problems understanding it. The course material is also real nice and so are the many after school activities that are organized. Wanna learn Portuguese in Rio? Go to Caminhos. You are in very good hands and will enjoy the experience. Sem duvidas!
