I’m looking into programs that would allow me to study Portuguese in Brazil for 6-12 months. Does anyone know of any good institutions? I’m a native English speaker but have always wanted to learn Portuguese. It looks like next year might be the year to do this…
If anyone knows of anywhere good please let me know!

i bought a phrasebook, and found a brazilian waitress to teach me pronunciation. i then bought college textbooks and did those. i kept daily journals in portuguese, shopping lists in portuguese you name it. it’s good if you have someone to practice with.
My suggestion is to stay in Brazil for a few months and get a native tutor and practicing daily will be easier and cheaper. However, if you want to go to a Brazilian school there try and check this website for a list of schools.http://www.learn4good.com/great_schools/…
I can suggest to you an immersion course in Rio that a friend of mine used. The address is the following: BridgeBrazil Rua da Quitanda, 191 SL, CEP 20.091-005 - Centro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Toll-Free US & Canada: 1-800-724-4210 (Brazil)Phone/Fax: +55 (21) 2220-8659
I think their website is:bridgebrazil.com
Find a good native teacher as i did and it will take you about a year tops to be fluent if you keep it up with the tutor as i did..
find a hot brazilian teacher, and have zex with her
