| Portuguese & History |
| Price: US$ 360.00 per week |
|
| The only Latin American country
colonized by the Portuguese, Brazil is blessed with
a unique heritage in the world. The nation was also
influenced by the French and the Dutch, not to mention
large waves of European immigrants and African slaves.
This incredible mix has made Brazil a fascinating
country with very rich historical and artistic roots. |
|
| | And as the country’s
former capital and most famous city, Rio de Janeiro
makes a great place to explore Brazil’s history
and culture.
The following activities are included in Week One
of the program:
 |
A 2-hour
lecture on Brazilian history. |
| 2 guided
visits to the most important museums and historical
sites in Rio de Janeiro, accompanied by your
Portuguese instructor. Museums include the
National History Museum, the Museu Nacional
de Belas Artes and the Republic Museum, just
to name a few. |
Additional weeks include
20 hours of group Portuguese class, one 2-hour lecture
(either on a different period of Brazilian history
or a more in-depth study of the same periods) and
two guided visits to museums per week, accompanied
by your Portuguese teacher. This is ideal for students
who want a more complete experience, as it will
allow you to discover some of the lesser-known,
but equally interesting museums of the city. Of
course, we always try to tailor the visits to your
particular interests. Get ready to discover Brazil
through its history and art!
