Learn Portuguese This Summer
2008 Summer Intensive Portuguese Institute at the University of Pittsburgh
About the Institute
The Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS) will offer an intensive program in Brazilian Portuguese at the University of Pittsburgh campus in the summer of 2008. This six-week program provides beginning students with the equivalent of a full first year of Portuguese language training. Six credits will be awarded upon successful completion. Classes will be conversationally oriented; however, reading and writing skills also will be developed.
Classes meet Monday through Friday from 10:00 am to 2:30 pm (May 12- June 21, 2008 ). At least five additional hours of Portuguese language instruction will be conducted as a field class in the evenings or on weekends. (Total contact hours=140+) Films and informal activities will provide additional language practice.
