AmeriSpan is excited to offer a new 3-week program in Brazil, the largest country in South America and the fifth largest country in the world. It is a country diverse in culture, landscape, and style. The coastal regions of Brazil offer some of the most famous and beautiful beaches in the world. Each city in Brazil has its own unique character ranging from the modern capital of Brasilia to the tourist capital of Rio de Janeiro to the port city of Maceio.
Participants in this program have the unique opportunity to travel visit 5 different areas of the country, from the Amazon region in the north, to spectacular Iguazu falls in the south, to one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Rio de Janeiro!
Also included in the program is Intensive Portuguese Study at our language schools in Sao Paulo and Maceio. There is no prerequisite language course or knowledge of the language required and study will take place in the mornings for a total of 15-20 hours per week. At the beginning of the program, participants will take a placement test to determine their current level of proficiency in Portuguese and then be placed in classes at the appropriate level, from beginning, to intermediate to advanced.
Specific Program Details
Information about Maceio, Brazil (Click to view)
Maceio (pop. 723,230) is a port city located on the east coast of Brazil and is about a 2-hour flight north from Rio. It is the state capital of Alagoas and is best known for its tropical lagoons and beaches. Because Maceio is largely undiscovered by foreign tourists, it is a great destination for language students.
Originally colonized by Portugal, Brazil is by far the largest country in South America. It is a country diverse in culture, landscape, and style. The country is covered by dense Amazon rainforest in the north and central regions. The coastal regions of Brazil offer some of the most famous and beautiful beaches in the world. Each city in Brazil has its own unique character ranging from the modern capital of Brasilia to the tourist capital of Rio de Janeiro to the port city of Maceio. Portuguese is the language spoken in Brazil.
Participants: Anyone who wants to discover Brazil but can't decide between classes, a university program, or just traveling. This special program allows you to do it all. This program is available to anyone over the age of 18. You may opt out of the university credits if you do not need them, however the price will remain the same.
Other: Students are eligible to receive 3 credit hours for this program issued by the University of Alabama.
