WHAT WE LIKE about this Program! - Lovely, beach city with local charm - 18 years of experiences teaching Portuguese - Bahian cuisine cooking & Brazilian music classes!!

Enjoy a Portuguese language course in Brazil at our language school in the city of Salvador da Bahia.

Salvador da Bahia is situated on an arrowhead peninsula between the Atlantic Ocean and All Saints Bay. Originally called the "City of Bahia", Salvador was founded in 1549 and remained the capital until 1763.

During colonial times, the city was invaded by the French and Dutch and was also frequently attacked by pirates. Thus a chain of forts (including the "Sea Fort") was built to protect the coastline. Salvador was also the first slave market in the New World and had many sugar plantations. The city has managed to preserve many outstanding Renaissance buildings.

Students can take advantage of excellent service and modern equipment: air-conditioned classrooms, audio-visual teaching, a fully-equipped kitchen for cooking lessons, a large dance room, an outside green area for leisure, and free access to the internet.
