The Students

In only three years Brazil in Chicago has had over 450 students, from 35 different nationalities. Many circumstances bring them to us: some are dating or married to Brazilians, others have a passion for languages and there are those who also perform other Brazil-related activities, such as Samba, Capoeira, Jiu-Jitsu, etc. Lately, thanks to the boom in the Brazilian economy, more and more students have decided to master the Portuguese language to become more competitive and increase their opportunities when doing business in Brazil.

“The classes are always interesting and I feel like I improve every week. It's a laid back, great atmosphere for learning, and you can really tell that every student enjoys being in class.”
