Review

As a Portuguese learner, I have always wanted to visit the countries in Africa that speak Portuguese. When I found Aprende Portuguese, I knew it was my chance. I was able to live the island life, and go on adventures while learning and practicing Portuguese.

I am interested in a career in international affairs, and Aprende Portuguese coordinated a meeting with the United States ambassador as well as with other important political figures in Cabo Verde. It was such an amazing experience to learn about the Cabo Verdean government and relations with other countries, as well as to make valuable connections for my future.

As a dancer, I love to learn the local dances of where I travel. While studying in Cabo Verde, I was able to enjoy the amazing nightlife and take classes to continue to further my Kizomba and Zouk dance skills. The African energy is as contagious as ever, and has left me with memories for a lifetime.

My favorite part of the Aprende Portuguese program was that we busted outside the classroom walls and learned with the locals. We were able to apply our Portuguese skills in real life while exploring the country. I had the time of my life, and highly recommend Aprende Portuguese to anyone who wants to learn Portuguese through immersion in paradise!
