The language of instruction is both English and Portuguese. I took courses in either language (2 en, 5 ptg) as I decided on courses in view of my personal needs concerning the content of the courses.

English was not a problem at the university, because students as well as professors were able to speak english. Outside of the university it was very hard to find somebody speaking english. You should basic portugese before you go to Brazil, because otherwise it will take to much time to really enjoy this country!

Brazilian Portuguese is a wonderful language: you can learn a lot of different tones from all the towns you visite. Beautiful songs follow the life.
