  The school is amazing, I can not recommend enough. Not only the quality of the teaching is exceptional, but the structure and the care of the students too. So many... read more activities, great advices and helps available at all times. I am really happy to made the decision to be a student for a few moth with Caminhos. I certainly will keep in touch.

  Loved my time at the school. My teachers were amazing and I feel like I've improved so much! The reception staff too were great and will help you organise absolutely... read more anything you may need from accommodation to visas.
Def recommend!

  I followed Portuguese classes at Caminhos for eight weeks. The teachers were really nice, my fellow students were interesting and the school organizes a lot of nice activities. The only... read more thing that I didn't like so much was that sometimes the classes were to big and that the payed activities are a bit overpriced, but for the rest it was a very good experience!

  I highly recommend Caminhos whether you're just passing through Rio and want to learn some basics or if you are looking to learn advanced Portuguese. The intensive group course is... read more great value and will have you speaking Portuguese in no time.

The teachers are excellent and engaging and the classes are of really excellent standards. The courses don't only focus on grammar and speaking, but try to engage you with Brazilian culture and develop your skills in expressing yourself (whether through debates or discussions).

The school also offers great social activities which really enhance your time at the school, especially if you're new to the city!

  Caminhos is a school wich takes care of you in all the situations, not only learning. Its staff make their best to make you feel as better as you can,... read more their activities and their lovely treatment are the best way to now Rio and be part of the brazilian culture. Is more than a school.
The lessons are very funny and everyone learns fast and the most natural as they can.

  A great choice to take classes at Caminhos, which has excellent teachers, materials, facilities and location. The school also has strong links with local communities, which for me was an... read more added advantage.
I took classes for five weeks and my son joined me for two. The staff make you feel very welcome and put on a full social programme and activities to enhance your stay. Highly recommended - obrigado!

  I’ve been waiting to write this review to encourage others to take part in the wonderful community that is Caminhos! Not only did I leave Caminhos with the ability to... read more speak a new language,but with great friends and memories. I spent a lot of time at the school (3 months total), and didn’t want it to end!!

The school was so accommodating with my difficult schedule, and never once complained!

  I planned to take courses here for one week only but I was so convinced by their teaching technique that I decided to come back for another week at the... read more end of my travel. The courses were sometimes a bit slow for me as Portuguese is my 6th language. However, we had a lot of people in my class who never learned any foreign language so they clearly needed that time. The courses are also ment for long term learners and you clearly put less energy in a course if you are there for 2months instead of one week only.
The afterschool program is very good as well. They offer a lot of interesting activities but they become a bit repetitive if you stay in the school for a longer time.
The organisation overall was very professional and the teachers were very motivated, well educated and friendly. I would definatly recommend this school and come here again if I found the time. More

  Spent 10 weeks going through all of the Portuguese language levels at the school and having the pleasure of meeting arguably the best teachers I have had whether in learning... read more languages or life in general. Great human beings, honestly care about you and about educating. Amazing and varied extracurricular activities that give you more than enough opportunities to meet active Brazilians and other people in Rio. A must for cultural immersion and delving into the Carioca Community.

  The school is easy to find in Ipanema and filled with lots of activities. All the teachers are very helpful and knowledgeable on the best way to show... read more you the language. The school administration is extremely generous with their time which equates to always go above and beyond to help each individual experience the best of Rio de Janeiro. If you have spare time or curious on the best way to navigate the city and learn the language Caminhos is the perfect place to start!
