Description: With this Portuguese language immersion program you have the choice of either staying in the city of Marceió or São Paulo. Marceió, the capital of the state of Alagoas in the Northeast of Brazil, is a safe, relaxed and modern city with the most beautiful and alluring beaches in South America. In contrast, São Paulo is the biggest city in South America and one of the three largest in the world. São Paulo can be an intimidating place, but if you like big cities, it offers the excitement and nightlife of one of the world's most dynamic.

Our campus in Maceió is located in the Ponta Verde district, a modern residential area, just 4 blocks away from the beach, close to restaurants, gyms, etc.
Our campus in São Paulo is located in Perdizes, on the city's west side, one of the most populated districts in São Paulo.

The school offers both group and private lessons for all students, from beginners to advanced speakers. The emphasis is on conversation, but the courses are supplemented with written homework. The general lessons below can be combined with courses in Brazilian history, literature, cuisine and dance.

* Group Lessons are available at an Intensive (20 lessons per week) or Super-Intensive (30 lessons per week) level.
* Private Lessons are available at an Intensive (20 lessons per week) or Super-Intensive (30 lessons per week) level.
* Executive Lessons (30 lessons per week) are oriented toward business terminology and lunches with the teacher are included.

Highlights: Every two weeks, the institute organizes excursions to cultural, historic, ecological and touristic sights such as Marechal Deodoro, S. Francisco river, Penedo or the Murici Forest. In all of the excursions, students travel together with teachers. The school also has an active and exciting social program. Included are visits to theaters, restaurants, beaches as well as other events such as national festivals, sporting events and dance clubs.

Students board with Brazilian Host families, allowing them to experience the day-to-day lifestyle and practice Portuguese with the host family. The families are within walking distance from the school and from the beach. They are individually selected and personally inspected by the school. Our families are carefully selected, ensuring a clean and comfortable home, a single, private bedroom and convenient location to the school. Students are given a key to the house and are free to come and go as they please, but need to respect the routine of the family they are staying with.

Easy Languages's Mission Statement: In this steadily shrinking world where studies and employment are taking an increasingly international tilt, active knowledge of foreign languages is becoming an indispensable skill for students, business people, and even tourists. These skills, however, are extremely difficult to acquire at home. A stay among native speakers of the target languages not only facilitates the learning process, but most experts agree that it is essential to becoming a truly fluent speaker. With over 15 years of experience in organizing journeys abroad to study languages, we here at Easy Languages offer a range of courses for every age group, time line and budget. Our students participate in everything from week long holiday trips to England to year long exchanges in Costa Rica. As opposed to the majority of organizations offering services similar to ours, we do not charge any administrative price supplements. There are no hidden costs in any of our programs. All of our prices are clearly displayed in one convenient, readable table directly on the summary page of each program. We are a company that values honesty and believes that full disclosure is part of that commitment.
