I need to learn Portuguese.

I'm in Campinas (Cambui). I would appreciate any recs for private tutors, classes, or schools? Preferably somewhere in Cambui, since I will most likely have to walk to class. Thank you!

You might want to check out the Portuguese for Foreigners program at UNICAMP.

Unfortunately, if I'm not an exchange student, I can't take classes there on a tourist visa. I must have a permanent or student visa.

Check the local English/Spanish schools like CCAA, CNA, Fisk and Skill. Many of them now offer Portuguese classes as well.

When I was doing training at Cultura Inglesa in Sao Paulo I asked them about this and they said University courses are your best bet.
I have not seen any of the Private language schools offering Portuguese , although maybe if you ask them they will come up with something for you.

Funnily enough , It's really not as easy to Study Portuguese in Brazil as one might think...

Hi!
Dear Steven! Bom Dia
It is not easy to study Portuguese in Brazil? Why
Are you only restricted to the word "Study" or also "learn"?
Actually I am getting information, How can I learn Portuguese effectively in a limited time frame. I am in Sao Paulo.

Best Wishes,
El Hasan
