A school where learning is fun! I spent five weeks at Rio&Learn. I quickly learned the basics of Portuguese, which helped me get by in everyday life here in Rio and to meet and chat with new people during my trip around Brazil. The group classes are small, with a maximum of six students. This is perfect for everyone to participate and practice speaking. Sometimes we go on an immersive outing during class to practice speaking in a shop, a café, or on Copacabana beach. In the afternoons, there are organized activities that allow us to continue practicing the language, but also to make friends with other students, while visiting Rio or taking a dance class or playing footvolley on the beach. Thanks to the amazing teachers Amyna, Alanis, Rapha, Yasmin, Antônio, and Thalles! The teachers are fantastic, friendly, and always motivated, even when we're struggling and tired! And let's not forget Thomas, who greets us every morning with a smile, always taking great care of the students, and ready to offer advice about life in Brazil (visas, travel, daily life...). I felt right at home here. It was a pleasure to come to school every day. I met amazing people from all over the world, people I went out with, took weekend trips with, and continued exploring Rio outside of class. For me, it was a fantastic experience, so I highly recommend Rio&Learn to start learning Portuguese, meet new people, and discover Rio, "a cidade maravilhosa"!

Excellent experience in the Rio&Learn advanced course! I loved my two weeks in the Rio&Learn advanced course. The school allows for total immersion in the language, with interactive classes in the morning and activities in the afternoon. I had the opportunity to have classes with almost all the teachers, because they change frequently. This helps a lot in hearing different accents and studying with various teaching styles. I particularly enjoyed Yasmine's group classes, as they allowed us to debate social issues and taught me how to defend my point of view in Portuguese. I want to highlight and thank Antônio immensely for his dedication, who gave me 10 hours of classes in just two days. His academic background and teaching qualifications were evident to me: the structure of the classes and his teaching methods were impeccable. He managed to deliver 5 consecutive hours of classes in an extremely fluid way, offering very interesting, in-depth content perfectly adapted to my level. It was a privilege to exchange ideas with such a qualified professional on social issues. I also want to express my immense gratitude to Alanis for the forró dance lessons. She has incredible energy, impeccable professionalism, and enormous patience for teaching. It was a great pleasure to learn from her; her dedication to her students is beautiful to see.

¡Logré mi meta de hablar portugués con confianza!
Recientemente completé 6 meses en Rio&Learn con el paquete de visa de estudiante y no podría estar más feliz con mi experiencia. No solo logré mi objetivo de sentirme cómodo hablando portugués con cualquier persona en Brasil, sino que también hice nuevos amigos increíbles y me divertí mucho en el camino. La metodología de Rio&Learn hace que hables portugués desde el primer día — y confía en mí, se aplica (escribir esto en inglés solo para futuros estudiantes — ¡no te enfades, Dani! ). El proceso se basa en el “aprendizaje divertido”, con conversaciones realistas y cotidianas. Este no es un entorno académico tradicional; en cambio, además de una base gramatical, realmente aprendes hablando, jugando y explorando la ciudad. Las actividades RioLive, coordinadas por Diogo, son perfectas para hacer amigos y descubrir lugares en Río mientras practicas portugués. Como estudiante presencial, tenía clases de 9 am a 1 pm todos los días de la semana con un pequeño grupo (alrededor de 2 - 6 personas), lo que hizo las conversaciones más fáciles e interactivas. También hay opciones en línea, privadas y de inmersión para aquellos que necesitan un formato diferente. La escuela está convenientemente ubicada justo al lado de la playa de Copacabana, en un área segura y vibrante, con actividades fuera del sitio que frecuentemente complementan las clases, por ejemplo, visitar un café mientras aprende vocabulario relevante, hablar con los lugareños en el parque o una visita a una tienda de comestibles cercana. Cada profesor aporta su propia creatividad y estilo de enseñanza, lo que mantiene las lecciones dinámicas y divertidas. Estás expuesto a diferentes acentos, temas y velocidades de habla, lo que me pareció realmente acelerado mi aprendizaje. ¡Muchas gracias a Amandinha, Amandoca, Ana Paola, Dani, Diogo, Filipe, Julie, Leandra, Madu, y el resto del equipo por hacer mi tiempo en Brasil tan memorable! Empecé con solo unas palabras básicas (olá, obrigada, bom dia) y en un mes, estaba en un nivel intermedio. Después de unas 10 semanas más, llegué a un nivel avanzado y ahora me siento seguro de hablar portugués con Brasileiros. Mi objetivo era hablar fluidamente, si no con fluidez, y Rio&Learn me ayudó a lograrlo. La escuela ofrece un gran valor, especialmente con el programa de visas, y recibí un apoyo increíble durante todo el proceso administrativo (gran saludo a Dayane!). Lo disfruté tanto que incluso extendí mi tiempo por 6 semanas! Recomiendo Rio&Learn a cualquiera que quiera aprender portugués en un ambiente divertido, solidario y cultural en el corazón de Río de Janeiro!

Best Learning Experience Ever!
I spent two weeks taking Portuguese courses at the Rio&Learn language school located in Copacabana. Due to only having two weeks in Rio, I decided to take the Immersion classes, which meant I spent 6 hours daily 1:1 with a teacher. The "classes" are structured to help you learn Portuguese in real-world settings. Rather than sitting in a classroom, the school would plan daily activities for me to explore Rio with my teacher and design relevant lesson plans based on that day's activities. To provide a couple examples: one day we went to a street market to learn about the different fruits and vegetables, try the fruits/vegetables, and practice speaking with the vendors; another day we went to the Christ the Redeemer Statue and walked around a park, all while speaking 100% in Portuguese. My primary teacher was Paulo, but I also spent a few days with Ana Paula and Diogo. All three teachers were great, and I enjoyed having a mix of teachers because of their different styles. My time with Rio&Learn was amazing, and I couldn't recommend it enough, especially as a solo traveler. It was like having Portuguese Teachers and Tour Guides all-in-one. Not to mention, I was able to meet other students from all over the world who were also there learning Portuguese. Although I wasn't in their group classes (because I was in my 1:1 Immersion program), I usually joined the groups in the afternoon/evening for additional learning/exploring activities in the city. I consider my trip to Rio to be my favorite trip of my life, and I recommend Rio&Learn to anyone that wants to learn Portuguese!

Amazing!
Wonderful experience. I did the in-person group classes from 9am-1pm, and then the RioLive activities in the afternoon. Would definitely do it again - wonderful teachers and a wonderful community of people.

Pick this school!
I absolutely recommend Rio and Learn! The school is really well organised, there are so many flexible class options to suit your schedule, and most importantly the quality of the teaching is excellent. There’s a great balance between studying the grammar essentials, learning about Brazilian culture, and having fun. The Rio LIVE activities after class are such a unique opportunity to practice Portuguese, explore Rio, and make friends. The majority of students here are solo travellers so you automatically join a community of language learners who you’ll be able to practice and travel with long after you leave! It’s also worth pointing out that the group classes are really good value, especially if you take advantage of the bulk purchase discounts and attend the Rio LIVEs. I’ve studied at a few Portuguese schools in Brazil and urge you to pick Rio and Learn - they have everything you could want in a language school.

Unique learning opportunity with the best teachers
Followed one week of group classes in Rio de Janeiro, I had no prior experience with Portuguese.The classes were really good, fun even (we laughed a lot) and the material is very well chosen.The after activities (Rio Live) as well were so fun and the teachers (Diogo) always made you feel comfortable and had a lot of patience. We even went for lunch together to learn about this subject. I really loved this way of teaching.I feel like I have a good base of the language and I can understand so much more now.

Fun classes with huge progress
Classes at Rio and Learn are fun. Time always flies by as I get to talk about my favourite topics - anything from traveling and food to politics and Netflix series. Class content can be songs and comedies watched in class, writing fairy tales with instant correction,and creating stories from pictures you have to put together whilst incorporating the new grammar you just learned.Another thing that makes this school different is the fact that your level and progress is evaluated each week, hence you always get personalised (small group) classes at your level - this has made me progress much faster than I did in other schools.I already speak Spanish so I was afraid there would be a lot of repetition and slow explanations of grammar. This is far from the case. Not only is the speed of classes adapted to me. Classes have also incorporated my Spanish knowledge to show me what pitfalls Spanish speakes have when learning Portuguese.Overall I highly recommend to anyone that wants to learn Portuguese adapted to their learning pace and special needs.

Learned lots and had a good time
I attend several in-person classes and group activities with Rio & Learn over the course of two weeks. The classes were always fun and my Portuguese improved a lot in that short period of time

The best experience in Rio! Studying at Rio & Learn was an experience that far exceeded my expectations. The environment is beautiful and the teachers make you not feel like you are studying. Despite being in group classes, most of the time I was alone, so I want to especially thank Bruna because she was the person with whom I had the most classes and I really enjoyed her classes and conversations! Rio & Live is the best way to get to know the city and, above all, to have a social life if you go alone. Thank you to the entire team and students!

Great experience!
I spent in school approx. 2 months and have been greatly satisfied. The school has a lot of different options to fit your needs, from group classes to lessons tailored specifically for each student. My teacher was Diogo, who is specialist for work with beginners, big professional with great sense of humor. I can just recommand!

Love Rio&Learn
Excellent language learning school.  I came to Rio only speaking English and with no practice in Portuguese.  I took 7 group classes.  This morning at the end of my short trip I had two people compliment my Portuguese.  The best part of the school was the people.  The instructors really care and my fellow students were fun.  There is a daily social activity called "RioLive" that is muito legal.

I feel like I gained a superpower with Rio&Learn!!!
I have to say that I am amazed by the school and their teachers because they made me speak and understand 90% of the day to day conversations in a very short time! (I took part in the Rio & Learn inGroup Course - 1 week - 20h) and LiveBusiness -1 week - 40h). Now, I even understand movies in Portuguese! I am absolutely stunned because it feels so good! I highly recommended the school and its courses. You will learn well, fast while having fun sightseeing this wonderful city/ies. All teachers have highly developed interpersonal skills. They adjust their teaching technics to the personality of the student which allows learning faster. They become good friends of yours as well. I cannot name anything that was wrong or not good enough during my stay over there. I am definitely ready to go back and I will do it as fast as I can.

Great Experience
Rio & Learn was a fantastic experience all-around. The school is located in a great part of Rio, about three minutes from Copacabana Beach. The classes strike just the right balance between a relaxed atmosphere and a challenging learning environment. There is a maximum of six students in each class so you’re sure to get some personalized attention if you need it. The teachers are always willing and eager to answer questions and deepen your knowledge of Portuguese. They are also really flexible as far as tailoring private lessons to your specific needs. I also did a homestay and the location was very convenient to the school, the accommodations were clean, cheap, and the food was outstanding. I had a large private bedroom and a shared bathroom. The group classes ran from 8:00-10:30AM and then 11:00-1PM. We’d break for lunch at 1PM and come back to the school around 2:30 or 3:00PM for the RioLive activities. They’re optional but they give you a cool opportunity to continue practicing Portuguese. The RioLive activities are free, you only have to pay for transportation to/from the activity and any entrance fees for museums, etc. I’ll definitely be back when I have the time off! Saudades R&L!

I was a student at Rio & Learn in the beginners' group class for 1 week (20 hours)
The teaching quality is very high: teachers are knowledgable, helpful, and very kind. All teachers have wonderful personalities. Teaching is very interactive and focused on speaking, as well as venturing outside the classroom into the 'real world'. In my week long course: I learned the basics, as was able to express myself more than expected by the end. I would really recommend Rio & Learn to anyone wanting to learn Portuguese, and with the beautiful Carioca accent! I also participated in the social activities after class, which were so fun! Only downsides were that the classrooms can get quite warm (bring water), and that if you stay only for one week, the curriculum might feel not so tailoured to you. This is because the beginners group does not start from the very beginning every week. Overall, a wonderful school and I can't wait to return in the future!
