Description

Study Portuguese language and culture in Porto. Open to all.
See CSA website for details.

Study Portuguese language and culture in the coastal town of Porto, second largest city after Lisbon. Programs are offered year-around, and all levels are available: beginner advanced. Group classes are small and provide each student with much attention in learning the lessons of four(4) intensive classes in the morning (M-F). Teachers use an individual approach and flexibly adapt their teaching methods to the students respective learning needs. Housing is with local host families or in nearby pousadas (apt), and there are several activities that engage the students in sightseeing, boat trips, theatre, and dinners.

Porto is a European city with an immense historical patrimony, yet is also well linked to the present and future times. Located on the Rio Douro, it has been a major trading center over the centuries, providing for a number of distinctive atmospheres in the city. The quarter around the riverside, known as the Ribeira is full of narrow, twisting streets with houses once painted or tiled in colorful facades, and full of bustling energy of working people during the day and the liveliness of busy tascas and restaurants at night.
