One-on-One Portuguese

  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!

  I stayed for two weeks to prepare for an exchange semester in Braszil. What a wonderful stay it was! The staff was fabulous and helped with any kind of problem.... read more Not only did I learn a lot during the lessons but especially the activities in the evening enabled a unique immersion in the Brazilian culture. I am definitely going to come back some day. Thanks for everything Caminhos!

  Loved studying at caminhos! My português improved só much and i loved the activities and homestay!The facilities are great and location close to Beach

  I had a great time at my 2 weeks stay at Caminhos. My host was nice and the teacher was very good and a we had lot of fun during... read more class. Doing a language course at Caminhos is a good way to get to know Brazilian culture and the city of Rio de Janeiro. I can definitely recommend starting a Brazil trip with a few weeks at Caminhos!

  Lovely school with helpful staff and wonderful teachers. They are super flexible and also very helpful with stuff outside the school. They offer a lot of free events, a great... read more way so get to know Rio and meet other travelers.

  I spent 8 weeks with Caminhos during my first trip to Rio & I plan on coming back to the school as soon as I can! I had 4 different... read more teachers, all of whom were amazing. Each class I felt like I learned so much, and just after the first week I felt my speaking level drastically increase!! The classes are small groups so you get the chance to interact with your classmates and get to know the teacher really well. The school has a really great community & family feel to it! They organize free & paid activities every day so you'll always have a group to tour the city with. After 8 weeks of classes ending in intermediate level, I am able to converse and feel confident about my language skills I learned at Caminhos! For the price of group courses every day, so much is included and the location is amazing. You're just a few blocks from the beach and the subway entrance making it easy to get to no matter where you're staying. Thank you Caminhos familia for a wonderful experience!
