Product Details

Take the opportunity to immerse yourself in the Portuguese language and fascinating Brazilian culture on one of our intensive Portuguese language placements in Brazil.

With 60 hours of tuition per month and accommodation with a local Brazilian family, you'll learn quickly and can practice what you've learnt with your hosts each day. Lessons are with a qualified language teacher and are tailored to your personal level.Whether you are a complete beginner or have been learning Portuguese for many years, being immersed in the language every day will help your skills progress quickly.

After your lessons you will, of course, have plenty of time to complete your homework and explore the city and the State of Rio de Janeiro with other volunteers.

Alternatively you can undertake a short, 14-hour language course in Portuguese. These courses are tailored to your needs and run alongside your volunteer placement. If you are planning on volunteering abroad for three months or more, you could also complete a 60-hour course alongside your placement.

While studying on the Portuguese Language Project and living in Brazil you will probably become a foreign friend for many local people, and you have a good opportunity to influence the way they see the world. Integrating into the local Brazilian community is also much easier when you have taken the time to learn their national language.

If you are not confident in starting a placement before improving your Portuguese, a month-long intensive language course is a sensible and worthwhile plan. Once you have completed a month's study, you could go on to spend some time on another project in Brazil, and put your new language skills to good use on a Teaching or Care project for example.

Brazil has so many great attractions that it is difficult to know where to start. In the city of Rio de Janeiro alone there are a thousand different ways to entertain yourself and you will probably choose to spend your weekends here. In addition to the sights mentioned above, Rio is also home to one of the largest sports stadiums in the world, the Maracana. Whether you are a soccer fan or not, catching the atmosphere at a live game will be an unforgettable experience!

The city also contains the world's largest urban forest; at 32 square kilometers the Tijuca Forest is a designated National Park, containing all manner of rare species.

Further away you can experience the beautiful beaches of Fernando de Noronha, the lively atmosphere of Salvadore and the raw power of the Iguazu Falls. No trip to Brazil would be complete without a trip to the Amazon, and you can use Brazil as a gateway to just about every other South American country.
