  This place became my home  - Joining the language course here was easily the best decision I could have made. The staff and teachers were so helpful and more than qualified for the job.

The teachers are all competent, enthusiastic; they... read more and other staff are ready to help you in every way. The results are remarkable: Even after only one week of combined group and 1:1 lessons I could tell how my Portuguese improved - or rather skyrocketed.

If you're new to the city and don't know anyone, don't be afraid: Caminhos offers loads of activities on every day of the week. With those you will not only meet new people (and quickly grow your own community away from home) but also learn about Rio, Brasil, Brasilians, their culture, and so on.

All in all: an incredible experience! Five stars.

  The best way to experience Rio!  - Can't recommend enough! All of the staff are super helpful and friendly, not only with school things but also general advice for living in Rio. As a first time solo... read more traveller from the UK having a community to lean on was invaluable. I did the group intensive classes (Mon-Fri, 9:00-13:00) for 6 weeks and enjoyed every day! Lessons are very interactive and fun, incorporating games, music, and lots of Brazilian history and culture. The teaching is fast paced and focused on speaking which is perfect for getting the basics you need to communicate with locals. Outside of class they run loads of great afternoon and weekend activities (my favourite was beach volleyball on mondays! 🏐) many of which are included in the course fees. I also choose the homestay option and was blessed to stay with the lovely Nila who was an angel 😇 If that's not enough reason to sign up then know that part of your money goes to providing financial support and education for under privileged children in Rio.

  After trying multiple different language schools and teachers, I finally landed upon Caminhos and my teacher Bruno Cuoto and it has been the best learning experience of my life!

Learning material is very well structured and the organisation works perfectly. Everyone is 100% reliable and super organised.

Beside the classes they offer may different guided daily activities for free and some for payment. This is great to connect with all other students and also with the community.

The school is located in Ipanema, a very beautiful and safe area.

Some students come for a short period to learn the basics and some do more than 6 months. It's all possible and learning curve is great.

Also the workers and teachers from Caminhos speak different language so don't worry about it.
