Living in or visiting
a country does not mean that you can effectively absorb the language nor become
completely in tune with the culture. However, there is a place to go to: International House Porto where you can
learn Portuguese using modern methods and technology in an environment of
guided immersion.
You will be
challenged to learn the language and use it, learning goals will be set with
you and you might be working with others who are also taking their first steps
in becoming independent Portuguese language speakers.
Classroom instruction
includes chances for field excursions, practical tasks of everyday life, music,
culture and, of course, grammar practice.
Bring grammar and
vocabulary to life and feel empowered, knowing that you, too, can learn
Portuguese. Get out of the grammar and into the action!
