"I have studied Portuguese at Brazil Station for a couple of months and worked with two of its instructors. I have also had experience with other Portuguese instructors and schools in the New York City area. I can safely say that Brazil Station is the best school for Portuguese instruction that New York has to offer. The instructors possess a deep and intimate knowledge of Portuguese, utilizing a variety of teaching methods and media, including Brazilian films and music, to immerse students in Brazil's language and rich culture. Equally as important, the instructors at Brazil Station have a knack for creating and maintaining an environment in which students feel safe to speak and express themselves in Portuguese. If you want to learn Portuguese, go to Brazil Station."

"I can't say enough good things about everyone at Brazil Station. From my first class, the teacher really showed a genuine interest. She assessed where I was at, what my goals were and tailored a curriculum for me. Now, I'm not only speaking Portuguese, but reading and writing as well."

"Learning Portuguese through Brazil Station was such a rewarding experience. Teachers are patient, dedicated professionals who tailor lessons to your specific needs. Classes are given in a relaxed, social setting that immerses the student in Brazilian culture as well as language. I took classes for one year and I can speak, read and write at a high intermediate level. Classes are fun, instructive and simply a blast!!!"

"I have been a student at Brazil Station for over a year. I find that the individual classes I have taken provide a great environment for learning and speaking Portuguese without intimidation. The curriculum is shaped in a way that keeps me learning and offers more than just theoretical knowledge; I am encouraged to put what I learn into practice. The instructors made this experience a very enjoyable one; they always made sure to provide me with challenges that helped me improve."
M. Carrera, PHD candidate, The Graduate Center - CUNY
"I began studying Portuguese at Brazil Station just over a year ago prior to my first trip to Brazil and it has been an exciting and enriching adventure. The teachers create a friendly and comfortable atmosphere where you learn not only reading and writing, but more importantly how to communicate and speak in Portuguese 'como as pessoas no Brasil'. The style of the program reflects the rich culture and friendliness of the Brazilian people.
I have studied both in group and private instruction and recommend both most highly and without reservation."
