This course describes the most common Portuguese classes offered at our Salvador language school in Brazil. In addition, we provide information about other Salvador Portuguese programs, courses and options that are available in Brazil. School is located in a neighborhood called Barra on a quiet residential street only a 5 minute walk from the beach. The school is a two story building with a sunny terrace, a kitchen for cooking class, and a dance room. The school offers 6 airconditioned classrooms, one computer with free internet access, and tea/coffee during break. Capacity is 90 students/day.

The accommodation options differ from locations. For more information in room and food, contact the organization at info@amerispan.com

No specific skills or qualification are required but the candidates need to have good communication skills and should be cooperative. 

Room & Food: If you choose to take language classes, your language immersion program usually includes a homestay component. During your placement you may be assigned to a homestay or more likely to alternative accommodations. Some of the non-homestay arrangements include meals, but most do not include any meals. For those arrangements that include just breakfast or no meals, kitchen facilities are generally available. For most programs, plan to arrive to your lodging on the day before your program begins and depart on the day after the placement is completed. You can usually extend your accommodations a few days before or after classes for an additional fee. For more information in room and food, contact the organization at info@amerispan.com
